Answer 1

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class SwipeDetectorExample extends StatefulWidget {
  final Function() onSwipeUp;
  final Function() onSwipeDown;
  final Widget child;

  SwipeDetectorExample({this.onSwipeUp, this.onSwipeDown, this.child});

  @override
  _SwipeDetectorExampleState createState() => _SwipeDetectorExampleState();
}

class _SwipeDetectorExampleState extends State<SwipeDetectorExample> {
  //Vertical drag details
  DragStartDetails startVerticalDragDetails;
  DragUpdateDetails updateVerticalDragDetails;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return GestureDetector(
        onVerticalDragStart: (dragDetails) {
          startVerticalDragDetails = dragDetails;
        },
        onVerticalDragUpdate: (dragDetails) {
          updateVerticalDragDetails = dragDetails;
        },
        onVerticalDragEnd: (endDetails) {
          double dx = updateVerticalDragDetails.globalPosition.dx -
              startVerticalDragDetails.globalPosition.dx;
          double dy = updateVerticalDragDetails.globalPosition.dy -
              startVerticalDragDetails.globalPosition.dy;
          double velocity = endDetails.primaryVelocity;

          //Convert values to be positive
          if (dx < 0) dx = -dx;
          if (dy < 0) dy = -dy;

          if (velocity < 0) {
            widget.onSwipeUp();
          } else {
            widget.onSwipeDown();
          }
        },
        child: widget.child);
  }
}

I ran into the same problem today, try running flutter clean, and hot restart your app. If this doesn't help one can always use Gesture Detector as M.Ali answered. In my case a simple hot restart fixed the problem.
