Full page scrolling in Flutter

You probably already have noticed the UI flow similarity between Tiktok and Instagram Reels. Both of these apps adapt a full page scroll based on user swipe-like flick gestures in UX. So, lets’ check how can we implement full page scrolling in flutter.

This way of design gives the user a fully immersive app experience without any distractions. Let us see an example of the same full-page vertical scroll-based app experience in Flutter.

We will first declare a PageController that will control the state of the PageView widget. We also specify the index of the initially loaded page.

PageController _controller = PageController(initialPage: 0);

1	PageController _controller = PageController(initialPage: 0);

Define a list of pages to scroll through. Add Container widget and specify height and width.

List<Widget> pages = [
      Container(
          height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
          width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
          color: Colors.blue,
          child: Center(
            child: Text("Some text here"),
          )),
      Container(
          height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
          width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
          color: Colors.red,
          child: Center(
            child: Text("Some text here"),
          )),
      Container(
          height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
          width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
          color: Colors.yellow,
          child: Center(
            child: Text("Some text here"),
          ))
    ];

List<Widget> pages = [

Container(

height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,

width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,

color: Colors.blue,

child: Center(

child: Text("Some text here"),

)),

Container(

height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,

width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,

color: Colors.red,

child: Center(

child: Text("Some text here"),

)),

Container(

height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,

width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,

color: Colors.yellow,

child: Center(

child: Text("Some text here"),

))

];

Declare a PageView widget with a vertical scroll direction. We can also define physics, reverse, and clipBehaviour properties.

PageView(
        scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
        controller: _controller,
        children: pages,
      ),

PageView(

scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,

controller: _controller,

children: pages,

Now our app is ready. Check out the output:

So, this is how we implement full page scrolling in flutter. You can add videos, images, or text according to your need in the Container widget.
