Flutter ListView lazy loading

问题:

How can I realize items lazy loading for endless listview? I want to load more items by network when user scroll to the end of listview.

You can listen to a ScrollController.

ScrollController has a few useful informations, such as the scrolloffset and a list of ScrollPosition.

In your case the interesting part is in controller.position which is the currently visible ScrollPosition. Which represents a segment of the scrollable.

ScrollPosition contains informations about it's position inside the scrollable. Such as extentBefore and extentAfter. Or it's size, with extentInside.

Considering this, you could trigger a server call based on extentAfter which represents the remaining scroll space available.

Here's an basic example using what I said.

class MyHome extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomeState createState() => new _MyHomeState();
}

class _MyHomeState extends State<MyHome> {
  ScrollController controller;
  List<String> items = new List.generate(100, (index) => 'Hello $index');

  @override
  void initState() {
    controller = new ScrollController()..addListener(_scrollListener);
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    controller.removeListener(_scrollListener);
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      body: new Scrollbar(
        child: new ListView.builder(
          controller: controller,
          itemBuilder: (context, index) {
            return new Text(items[index]);
          },
          itemCount: items.length,
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  void _scrollListener() {
    print(controller.position.extentAfter);
    if (controller.position.extentAfter < 500) {
      setState(() {
        items.addAll(new List.generate(42, (index) => 'Inserted $index'));
      });
    }
  }
}

You can clearly see that when reaching the end of the scroll, it scrollbar expends due to having loaded more items.

Thanks for Rémi Rousselet's approach, but it does not solve all the problem. Especially when the ListView has scrolled to the bottom, it still calls the scrollListener a couple of times. The better approach is to combine Notification Listener with Remi's approach. Here is my solution:

bool _handleScrollNotification(ScrollNotification notification) {
  if (notification is ScrollEndNotification) {
    if (_controller.position.extentAfter == 0) {
      loadMore();
    }
  }
  return false;
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final Widget gridWithScrollNotification = NotificationListener<
            ScrollNotification>(
        onNotification: _handleScrollNotification,
        child: GridView.count(
            controller: _controller,
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
          // Create a grid with 2 columns. If you change the scrollDirection to
          // horizontal, this would produce 2 rows.
          crossAxisCount: 2,
          crossAxisSpacing: 2.0,
          mainAxisSpacing: 2.0,
          // Generate 100 Widgets that display their index in the List
          children: _documents.map((doc) {
            return GridPhotoItem(
              doc: doc,
            );
          }).toList()));
    return new Scaffold(
      key: _scaffoldKey,
      body: RefreshIndicator(
       onRefresh: _handleRefresh, child: gridWithScrollNotification));
}
