Make AppBar transparent and show background image which is set to whole screen

Question

I have added AppBar in my flutter application. My screen already have a background image, where i don't want to set appBar color or don't want set separate background image to appBar.

I want show same screen background image to appBar also.

I already tried by setting appBar color as transparent but it shows color like gray.

Example code:

appBar: new AppBar(
        centerTitle: true,
//        backgroundColor: Color(0xFF0077ED),
        elevation: 0.0,
        title: new Text(
            "DASHBOARD",
            style: const TextStyle(
                color:  const Color(0xffffffff),
                fontWeight: FontWeight.w500,
                fontFamily: "Roboto",
                fontStyle:  FontStyle.normal,
                fontSize: 19.0
            )),
      )

This is supported by Scaffold now (in stable - v1.12.13+hotfix.5).

• Set Scaffold extendBodyBehindAppBar to true,
• Set AppBar elevation to 0 to get rid of shadow,
• Set AppBar backgroundColor transparency as needed.

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      extendBodyBehindAppBar: true,
      backgroundColor: Colors.red,
      appBar: AppBar(
//        backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
        backgroundColor: Color(0x44000000),
        elevation: 0,
        title: Text("Title"),
      ),
      body: Center(child: Text("Content")),
    );
  }

you can use Stack widget to do so. Follow below example.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      home: new Home(),
    );
  }
}

class Home extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeState createState() => _HomeState();
}

class _HomeState extends State<Home> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Stack(
        children: <Widget>[
          Scaffold(
            backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
            appBar: new AppBar(
              title: new Text(
                "Hello World",
                style: TextStyle(color: Colors.amber),
              ),
              backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
              elevation: 0.0,
            ),
            body: new Container(
              color: Colors.red,
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
