I have looked through the Flutter documentation to try and find an event, callback or even a state that I could hook into when the FlexibleSpaceBar is collapsed or expanded.
return new FlexibleSpaceBar(
title: new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.end,
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
children: <Widget>[
new Text(_name, style: textTheme.headline),
new Text(_caption, style: textTheme.caption)
]),
centerTitle: false,
background: getImage());`
When the FlexibleSpaceBar is snapped in (collapsed), I want to hide the _caption text and only display the _name text. When it is expanded fully, I obviously want to display both _name & _caption.
How do I go about doing that?
Im new to flutter, so I am somewhat lost on this.

FlexibleSpaceBar per se won't be enough. You need to wrap it into CustomScrollView and SliverAppBar. These widgets must be controller by a ScrollController, which will fire an event whenever scroll offset changes. Based on it, you can find out if app bar is collapsed or expanded, and change the content accordingly. Here you will find a working example.
It can be done like this :
inside your initState method add the scroll listener like that :
ScrollController _controller;
bool silverCollapsed = false;
String myTitle = "default title";
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_controller = ScrollController();
_controller.addListener(() {
if (_controller.offset > 220 && !_controller.position.outOfRange) {
if(!silverCollapsed){
// do what ever you want when silver is collapsing !
myTitle = "silver collapsed !";
silverCollapsed = true;
setState(() {});
}
}
if (_controller.offset <= 220 && !_controller.position.outOfRange) {
if(silverCollapsed){
// do what ever you want when silver is expanding !
myTitle = "silver expanded !";
silverCollapsed = false;
setState(() {});
}
}
});
}
then wrap your silverAppBar inside CustomScrollView and add the controller to this CustomScrollView like that :
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
body: CustomScrollView(
controller: _controller,
slivers: <Widget>[
SliverAppBar(
expandedHeight: 300,
title: myTitle,
flexibleSpace: FlexibleSpaceBar(),
),
SliverList(
delegate: SliverChildListDelegate(<Widget>[
// your widgets inside here !
]),
),
],
),
);
}
finally change the condition value _controller.offset > 220 to fit your need !
