I am aware that I can use IconButton in the actions of the AppBar in Flutter. But instead of the icon, I'd like the user to see the words 'Save' or 'Back' or 'Cancel' and click on them in the AppBar. How can I achieve this? Here is part of my code that shows the AppBar. Instead of the save Icon, I'd like to use 'Save'
return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( leading: IconButton(icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back), tooltip: "Cancel and Return to List", onPressed: () { Navigator.pop(context, true); }, ), automaticallyImplyLeading: false, title: Text(title), actions: <Widget>[ IconButton( icon: Icon(Icons.save), tooltip: "Save Todo and Retrun to List", onPressed: () { save(); }, ) ], ),//AppBar
actions: This property takes in a list of widgets as a parameter to be displayed after the title if the AppBar is a row. title: This property usually takes in the main widget as a parameter to be displayed in the AppBar. backgroundColor: This property is used to add colors to the background of the Appbar.
You can add an icon to the AppBar by adding an IconButton widget to the actions list of the AppBar.
appBar: AppBar( title: Text("Test Screen"), actions: <Widget>[ FlatButton( textColor: Colors. white, onPressed: () {}, child: Text("Save"), shape: CircleBorder(side: BorderSide(color: Colors. transparent)), ), ], ), onPressed must be defined or the button will appear disabled.
You can use FlatButton
within an AppBar
's actions
list:
appBar: AppBar( title: Text("Test Screen"), actions: <Widget>[ FlatButton( textColor: Colors.white, onPressed: () {}, child: Text("Save"), shape: CircleBorder(side: BorderSide(color: Colors.transparent)), ), ], ),
onPressed
must be defined or the button will appear disabled. Also note that by default the shape of the button will create a filled rectangle for the InkWell effect. By setting the shape
property to CircleBorder
, we get a nicer effect for the pressed state.
