How to create gradient in Flutter

Last updated Nov 30, 2021

Flutter can be used used to create a great-looking UI. So, in today's video, we will see how you can create different Gradients in your application.

Let's start

Step 1: Create a new Flutter Application.

Step 2: For the gradient, we have to use the Container widget where we will have the BoxDecoration property which will allow us to create a gradient for our application.

for example:

Container(

            height: 300,

            width: 300,

            decoration: BoxDecoration(

              gradient: 

            ),

          ),

 

Now we have Different types of Gradients in Flutter

  • SweepGradient: Creates a sweep gradient.
  • LinearGradient: Creates a linear gradient.
  • RadialGradius: Creates a radial gradient.

for Sweep Gradient you can use it like this

decoration: BoxDecoration(

                gradient: SweepGradient(

                    colors: [Colors.green, Colors.lightBlue, Colors.red])),

 

for Radial Gradient you can use it like this

decoration: BoxDecoration(

                gradient: RadialGradient(

                    colors: [Colors.red, Colors.blue, Colors.green])),

 

for Linear Gradient you can use it like this

 decoration: BoxDecoration(

                gradient: LinearGradient(

                    colors: [Colors.deepOrange, Colors.yellow.shade300])),

 

Step 3: Now to Change the alignment of the gradients you can use  AlignmentGeometry begin = Alignment.centerLeft, AlignmentGeometry end = Alignment.centerRight in the gradient property in BoxDecoration.

for example 

decoration: BoxDecoration(

                gradient: LinearGradient(

                    begin: Alignment.centerLeft,

                    end: Alignment.centerRight,

                    colors: [Colors.deepOrange, Colors.yellow.shade300])),

 

 

Complete Example code to Create Gradient in Flutter

 

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

import 'package:scroll_snap_list/scroll_snap_list.dart';

 

void main() {

  runApp(MyApp());

}

 

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {

  @override

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return MaterialApp(

      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,

      home: Demo(),

      theme: ThemeData(

        brightness: Brightness.dark,

      ),

    );

  }

}

 

class Demo extends StatelessWidget {

  const Demo({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

 

  @override

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return Scaffold(

        appBar: AppBar(

          title: const Text('Gradients'),

        ),

        body: Center(

          child: Container(

            height: 300,

            width: 300,

            decoration: BoxDecoration(

                gradient: LinearGradient(

                    begin: Alignment.centerLeft,

                    end: Alignment.centerRight,

                    colors: [Colors.deepOrange, Colors.yellow.shade300])),

          ),

        ));

  }

}

 

Output:

 

Conclusion: In this way, we have learned how you can get different types of gradients in Flutter.
