Flutter - Drag & Drop Listview - Reorderable Listview

Last updated Jul 22, 2019

Hello Guys,

Today I am going to explain you about drag and drop items inside the listview.

We will achieve this in flutter by  ReorderableListView widget.

                           

 

ReorderableListview contains properties like childred, header, onReorder, scrollDirection...

 
ReorderableListView(
children: [
],

onReorder:(){

}

)

 

children: We will load the list items to this property

 

children: [
    for(final item in _listData)
     getChildItems(item,context)
   

  ]

 

onReorder: This is the property where we will handle the dragged list items

 

onReorder: (oldIndex,newIndex){
    _updateMyItems(oldIndex,newIndex);
}

 

complete class 

 
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
  final String title;

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

class _MyHomePageState extends State {
  int _counter = 0;

  List_listData;
  final _scaffoldKey = GlobalKey();
  @override
  void initState() {
    // TODO: implement initState
    super.initState();
    _listData=List();
    _listData.add("A");
    _listData.add("B");
    _listData.add("C");
    _listData.add("D");
    _listData.add("F");
    _listData.add("G");
    _listData.add("H");
    _listData.add("I");
    _listData.add("J");
    _listData.add("K");
    _listData.add("L");
    _listData.add("M");
    _listData.add("N");
    _listData.add("O");
    _listData.add("P");
  }
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return Scaffold(
      key: _scaffoldKey,
      backgroundColor: Colors.grey[400],
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Listview Drag and Drop"),
        backgroundColor: Colors.deepOrange,
      ),
      body: Center(

        child: ReorderableListView(
          header:
          Container(
             margin: EdgeInsets.only(top: 10),
            decoration: BoxDecoration(
                color: Colors.deepPurple,
                border: Border.all(color: Colors.white,width: 2),
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(4))
            ),

            child: Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
              child: Text("ReorderableListView",textAlign: TextAlign.start,
                style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white,fontSize: 18),),
            ),
          ),
            children: [
              for(final item in _listData)
          getChildItems(item,context)
             /* ListTile(
                key: ValueKey(item),
                title: Text('Item $item'),
              ),*/

            ],
            onReorder: (oldIndex,newIndex){

                _updateMyItems(oldIndex,newIndex);


            }
        ),
      ),
    // This trailing comma makes auto-formatting nicer for build methods.
    );
  }

  Widget getChildItems(_item,_context)
  {
    return Padding(
      key: ValueKey(_item),

      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
      child: InkWell(
        onTap: (){
          _scaffoldKey.currentState.showSnackBar(SnackBar(content: Text("Selected Item $_item"),duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500),));
        },
        child: Container(
          width: double.infinity,
          decoration: BoxDecoration(
            color: Colors.deepOrange,
            border: Border.all(color: Colors.white,width: 2),
            borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(4))
          ),

          child: Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
            child: Text(_item+" Items",textAlign: TextAlign.start,
            style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white,fontSize: 18),),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  _updateMyItems(int old,int newIndex)
  {
    setState(() {

      if(newIndex>old)
        {
          newIndex-=1;
        }
        var item=_listData.removeAt(old);
      _listData.insert(newIndex, item);


    });

  }
}
