flutter - IconButton remove splash

Flutter - IconButton Remove Splash
The IconButton class represents a material design icon button. IconButton is a picture printed on a material widget that reacts to touches by filling with color. The flutter developers commonly used the Icon buttons in the AppBar actions field, but IconButtons can also be used in many other places. The flutter app developers can leave the onPressed callback null to disable an IconButton, it will not react to touch.

The following flutter app development tutorial will demonstrate how to remove the splash from an IconButton widget. In this example code, we used the IconButon class’s splashColor property to remove the splash effect of an InconButton widget. Here we also change the icon button’s highlight color by using the IconButton class’s highlightColor property.

The IconButton class’s splashColor property value is a Color that defines the primary color of the button when the button is in the down/pressed state. The splash is represented as a circular overlay that appears above the highlightColor overlay. The splash overlay center point is the hit point of the user touch event in IconButton. The splash overlay expands to fill the button area when users held the touch for a long enough time.

When flutter developers set the splash color transparency, the highlight and button color will show through. So, here we set the InconButton’s splashColor property value to a fully transparent color to remove the splash color from an IconButton. Now we have to hide the highlight color to altogether remove the splash effect from an IconButton instance.

The IconButton class’s highlightColor property value is also a Color object that defines the secondary color of the button when the button is in the down/pressed state. The IconButton highlight color is represented as a solid color that is overlaid over the button color if any. When flutter developers set transparency to the highlight color then the button color will show through. In this example, we set a fully transparent color for the IconButton’s highlightColor property value.

So finally, the flutter app developers can remove the splash effect from an IconButton widget by setting a fully transparent color to the both splashColor and highlightColor properties.
main.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main(){
  runApp(
    MaterialApp(
      theme: ThemeData(primarySwatch: Colors.grey),
      home: Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
              title: const Text("Flutter - IconButton Remove Splash")
          ),
          body: Center(
              child: IconButton(
                  iconSize: 96,
                  icon: const Icon(Icons.shopping_cart),
                  onPressed: (){},
                  color: Colors.green.shade700,
                  splashColor: Colors.transparent,
                  highlightColor: Colors.transparent
              )
          )
      ),
    ),
  );

Restricting Jetpack Compose TextField to Numeric Input Only

Jetpack Compose has revolutionized Android development with its declarative approach, enabling developers to build modern, responsive UIs more efficiently. Among the many components provided by Compose, TextField is a critical building block for user input. However, ensuring that a TextField accepts only numeric input can pose challenges, especially when considering edge cases like empty fields, invalid characters, or localization nuances. In this blog post, we'll explore how to restrict a Jetpack Compose TextField to numeric input only, discussing both basic and advanced implementations. Why Restricting Input Matters Restricting user input to numeric values is a common requirement in apps dealing with forms, payment entries, age verifications, or any data where only numbers are valid. Properly validating input at the UI level enhances user experience, reduces backend validation overhead, and minimizes errors during data processing. Compose provides the flexibility to implement ...

jetpack compose - TextField remove underline

Compose TextField Remove Underline The TextField is the text input widget of android jetpack compose library. TextField is an equivalent widget of the android view system’s EditText widget. TextField is used to enter and modify text. The following jetpack compose tutorial will demonstrate to us how we can remove (actually hide) the underline from a TextField widget in an android application. We have to apply a simple trick to remove (hide) the underline from the TextField. The TextField constructor’s ‘colors’ argument allows us to set or change colors for TextField’s various components such as text color, cursor color, label color, error color, background color, focused and unfocused indicator color, etc. Jetpack developers can pass a TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors() function with arguments value for the TextField ‘colors’ argument. There are many arguments for this ‘TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors()’function such as textColor, disabledTextColor, backgroundColor, cursorC...

jetpack compose - Image clickable

Compose Image Clickable The Image widget allows android developers to display an image object to the app user interface using the jetpack compose library. Android app developers can show image objects to the Image widget from various sources such as painter resources, vector resources, bitmap, etc. Image is a very essential component of the jetpack compose library. Android app developers can change many properties of an Image widget by its modifiers such as size, shape, etc. We also can specify the Image object scaling algorithm, content description, etc. But how can we set a click event to an Image widget in a jetpack compose application? There is no built-in property/parameter/argument to set up an onClick event directly to the Image widget. This android application development tutorial will demonstrate to us how we can add a click event to the Image widget and make it clickable. Click event of a widget allow app users to execute a task such as showing a toast message by cli...
