In Flutter, We can make the Custom Drawer for tv same in the same way as for mobile apps, with the help of Scaffold and Drawer Widget.In apps, there are two options for navigation : Tabs and Drawer.
We can use the Drawer widget in combination with a Scaffold to create a layout with a Material Design drawer.
We can create a simple drawer by using a scaffold and passing list item to it as shown in below code.

Scaffold( drawer: Drawer( child: ListView( padding: EdgeInsets.zero, children: [ const DrawerHeader( decoration: BoxDecoration( color: Colors.blue, ), child: Text('Drawer Header'), ), ListTile( title: const Text('Item'), onTap: () { }, ), ], ),) ); |
Read more about our Flutter app development services.
For custom drawer we have to write some extra piece of code. Let’s check the below sample to customise Drawer for Smart TV App.
In this app we are going to create a drawer which will show some different User Interface compare to normal drawer.
Add the below dependency.

void main() { runApp(const MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MultiProvider( providers: [ ChangeNotifierProvider<NavigationProvider>( create: (_) => NavigationProvider()), ], child: Shortcuts( shortcuts: <LogicalKeySet, Intent>{ LogicalKeySet(LogicalKeyboardKey.select): const ActivateIntent(), }, child: MaterialApp( debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, title: 'Custom Drawer', theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.grey, ), home: const MyHomePage(), ),) ); } } |

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget { const MyHomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key); @override State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState(); } class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> { late String visibleScreen="home"; @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( backgroundColor: Colors.black, automaticallyImplyLeading: false, title: const Center(child: Text('Custom Drawer Example', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),)), ), body: Row( children: [ CustomNavigationDrawer(changeState: (value) { print("call back function called"); setState(() { visibleScreen = value; }); }), Expanded( child: Stack( children: [ if (visibleScreen == 'category') ...[ Container( child: Center(child: Text("Category Screen")), ) ], if (visibleScreen == 'home') ...[ Container( child: Center(child: Text("Home Screen")), ) ], if (visibleScreen == 'search') ...[ Container( child: Center(child: Text("Search")), ) ], ], ), ) ], ), ); } } |
Below file is use as model to create icons and label for for drawer items.

class DrawerItem { final String title; final IconData icon; const DrawerItem({ required this.title, required this.icon, }); } |
List of drawer items

final drawerItem = [ DrawerItem(title: 'Home', icon:Icons.home ), DrawerItem(title: 'Category', icon: Icons.category), DrawerItem(title: 'Search', icon: Icons.search), ]; |

Finally, We can run the project and check the output.
We checked, how we can create a custom drawer for tv app.

Use drawer property of scaffold.
like-
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.black,
automaticallyImplyLeading: false,
title: const Center(child: Text(‘Custom Drawer Example’,
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),)),
),
drawer: CustomNavigationDrawer(changeState: (value) {
print(“call back function called”);
setState(() {
visibleScreen = value;
});
}) ,
body: Stack(
children: [
if (visibleScreen == ‘category’) …[
Container(
child: Center(child: Text(“Category Screen”)),
)
],
if (visibleScreen == ‘home’) …[
Container(
child: Center(child: Text(“Home Screen”)),
)
],
if (visibleScreen == ‘search’) …[
Container(
child: Center(child: Text(“Search”)),
)
],
],
),
);
