I am trying to put the TabBar on the bottom of the app.
It worked so far, yet I can\'t get the pages to work (TabBarView). It just looks black and unresponsive. The TabB
I fixed your code, take a look.
class Bookkeeper extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: DefaultTabController(
length: 4,
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Color(0xFF3F5AA6),
title: Text("Title text"),
bottom: menu(),
),
body: TabBarView(
children: [
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_car)),
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_transit)),
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_bike)),
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_bike)),
],
),
),
),
);
}
Widget menu() {
return TabBar(
tabs: [
Tab(
text: "Transactions",
icon: Icon(Icons.euro_symbol),
),
Tab(
text: "Bills",
icon: Icon(Icons.assignment),
),
Tab(
text: "Balance",
icon: Icon(Icons.account_balance_wallet),
),
Tab(
text: "Options",
icon: Icon(Icons.settings),
),
],
);
}
}
You have to create a scaffold in order to use the AppBar
, then put the tabs inside the bottom
property.
UPDATE
Using bottomNavigationBar
to positioned the Tabs
at the bottom of the screen
class Bookkeeper extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: DefaultTabController(
length: 4,
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Color(0xFF3F5AA6),
title: Text("Title text"),
),
bottomNavigationBar: menu(),
body: TabBarView(
children: [
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_car)),
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_transit)),
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_bike)),
Container(child: Icon(Icons.directions_bike)),
],
),
),
),
);
}
Widget menu() {
return Container(
color: Color(0xFF3F5AA6),
child: TabBar(
labelColor: Colors.white,
unselectedLabelColor: Colors.white70,
indicatorSize: TabBarIndicatorSize.tab,
indicatorPadding: EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
indicatorColor: Colors.blue,
tabs: [
Tab(
text: "Transactions",
icon: Icon(Icons.euro_symbol),
),
Tab(
text: "Bills",
icon: Icon(Icons.assignment),
),
Tab(
text: "Balance",
icon: Icon(Icons.account_balance_wallet),
),
Tab(
text: "Options",
icon: Icon(Icons.settings),
),
],
),
);
} }
