Flutter ListView

Flutter ListView widget displays a set of items in a scrollable list. Pass the list of items to the children property of ListView widget, and you have a ListView in your Flutter application.

You can make the ListView scroll in either of the directions: horizontal, vertical; using scrollDirection property. Or you can also make it never scroll using physics property set to NeverScrollableScrollPhysics() object.

In this tutorial, we will create a basic ListView widget that displays a set of items.

Syntax

The syntax of ListView widget with children property is

</>
Copy
ListView(
  children: <Widget>[
    //widget items
  ],
)

Example

In this example, we will use ListView to display widgets as a list that is scrollable vertically.

Create a new Flutter project and use the following main.dart file in your application.

main.dart

</>
Copy
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('TutorialKart - Flutter ListView'),
        ),
        body: ListView(
          children: <Widget>[
            Container(
              height: 50,
              color: Colors.lime[800],
              child: const Center(child: Text('Apple')),
            ),
            Container(
              height: 50,
              color: Colors.lime[600],
              child: const Center(child: Text('Banana')),
            ),
            Container(
              height: 50,
              color: Colors.lime[400],
              child: const Center(child: Text('Mango')),
            ),
            Container(
              height: 50,
              color: Colors.lime[200],
              child: const Center(child: Text('Orange')),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
