I have an app, it has a page that act as an entry point and showing a TabView containing 3 or more pages on it. It uses NestedScrollView and SliverAppBar to give some animation when user scroll the view.
I want to implement lazy load of a paginated list but since it does not allows me to use a controller inside the CustomScrollView as mentioned in the docs in this line:
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return CustomScrollView(
// The "controller" and "primary" members should be left
// unset, so that the NestedScrollView can control this
// inner scroll view.
// If the "controller" property is set, then this scroll
// view will not be associated with the NestedScrollView.
// The PageStorageKey should be unique to this ScrollView;
// it allows the list to remember its scroll position when
// the tab view is not on the screen.
key: PageStorageKey<String>(name),
slivers: <Widget>[
I cannot make use of ScrollController in the child page to get the scroll value to trigger the loadMore function. Fortunately, there is a similar widget to listen the scroll event called ScrollNotification. But I don't know which property is holding the value of the maximum scroll limit.
Tried to compare the available properties by this:
bool _onScrollNotification(ScrollNotification notification) {
if (notification is! ScrollEndNotification) return false;
print('extentBefore: ${notification.metrics.extentBefore}');
print('extentAfter: ${notification.metrics.extentAfter}');
print('maxScrollExtent: ${notification.metrics.maxScrollExtent}');
return true;
}
But its seems like they doesn't hold any fixed value as I need. It always changed its value independently.
I also cannot use the ScrollController on the parent page (the tabview_holder) since each page in each tabs has independent bloc, events, data & fetching algorithm. With that in mind, how can I achieve this requirement?
Please have a look at my script:
tabview_holder.dart (not a real file name, just to illustrate it)
