flutter raisedbutton example

Let’s learn about Flutter RaisedButton.

RaisedButton…?

How is it look like?

How to add it to my code?

Okay… wait.

After reading this post, you will learn a lot more about RaisedButton.

then don’t waste my time. Please start.

Here we go.

Flutter RaisedButton

flutter raisedbutton

From the title, you can understand that It’s a raised button.

Yes, it is.

Actually the button appears elevated or in more detail, it placed higher than the surrounding area or page. It shows more shadow when the button is tapped.

You can also make icon using RaisedButton.

But now, let’s make a simple RaisedButton. You can create flutter project using flutter command or Android Studio.

simple raisedbutton exampl

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp()); //application entry point, Calls MyApp

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Flutter RaisedButton Example'),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: RaisedButton(
            child: Text('RaisedButton'),
            onPressed: () {
              //onpressed gets called when the button is tapped.
              print("RaisedButton clicked");
            },
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

RaisedButton properties

1. VoidCallback onPressed

Just like FlatButton, RaisedButton invokes onPressed when button tapped. you can provide values in two ways.

  1. Using anonymous function

  2. In this way, you don’t need to specify method’s name. It’s actually helpful when you want to execute simple lines of unrepeated code.

    RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton'),
                color: Colors.white,
                onPressed: () {
                  print("RaisedButton tapped - anonymous function");
                },
                ),
    
    
  3. By specifying the Function name

Specify the function name as onPressed value. just like below

RaisedButton(
            child: Text('RaisedButton'),
            color: Colors.white,
             onPressed: raisedButtonTapped,
          ),

void raisedButtonTapped() {
    print("RaisedButton tapped - Using function");
  }

2. VoidCallback onLongPress

It gets called when RaisedButton pressed for a finite long time. You can use those ways I have told above in onPressed property.

  1. Using Anonymous Function

  2. RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton'),
                color: Colors.white,
                onPressed: () {},
                onLongPress: () {
                  print("RaisedButton long pressed - Using anonymous function");
                },
                
              ), 
    
  3. Using Function name

RaisedButton(
            child: Text('RaisedButton'),
            color: Colors.white,
            onPressed: () {},
            onLongPress: raisedButtonTapped,
          ),
...
..
  void raisedButtonTapped() {
    print("RaisedButton long pressed - Using function name");
  }

3. ValueChanged onHighlightChanged

raisedbutton onhighlightchanged example

onHighlightChanged property gives you true value when the button is tapped down and gives false after the release of the button.

4.Color textColor

RaisedButton textcolor examle
The textColor property helps to change text color on RaisedButton.

RaisedButton(
            onPressed: () {},
            child: Text("SIGN IN"),
            textColor: Colors.red,
          ),

5. Color disabledTextColor

flutter Raisedbutton disabled text color

It assist us to change Button’s text color when onPressed provided with a null value.

RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton - Default Disabled Text Color'),
                onPressed: null,
              ),
              RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton - Custom Disabled Text Color'),
                onPressed: null,
                disabledTextColor: Colors.black,
              ),

6. Color color

raisedbutton background color example

The color property used to set RaisedButton background. You can change it to a different color rather than default one.

RaisedButton(
            child: Text('RaisedButton'),
            color: Colors.yellow,
            onPressed: () {},
          ),

7. Color disabledColor

disabledcolor and text
Sometimes you need to disable the button and change it’s color, then apply disabledColor property like shown below. Just specify color as disabledColor property value.

RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton - Default Disabled Color'),
                onPressed: null,
              ),
              RaisedButton(
                  child: Text('RaisedButton - Custom Disabled Color & Text'),
                  onPressed: null,
                  disabledTextColor: Colors.white60,
                  disabledColor: Colors.blueAccent),

8. FocusNode focusNode

It’s a focus related property, utilize focusNode property to set focus to RaisedButton. Look at the focusColor property, the given below how to use focusNode.

9.Color focusColor

focuscolor example

When RaisedButton gets the focus, focusColor property helps us to change the color of RaisedButton.


import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(HomeScreen());
}

class HomeScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeScreenState createState() => _HomeScreenState();
}

class _HomeScreenState extends State {
  FocusNode _raisedFocusNode;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _raisedFocusNode = FocusNode();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _raisedFocusNode.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: "RaisedButton FocusColor Example",
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("RaisedButton FocusColor Example"),
        ),
        body: Column(
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
            Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.all(18.0),
              child: TextField(
                onChanged: (value) =>
                    FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(_raisedFocusNode),
              ),
            ),
            RaisedButton(
              color: Colors.blue,
              focusNode: _raisedFocusNode,
              focusColor: Colors.red,
              child: Text("DONE"),
              onPressed: () {
                print("RaisedButton clicked");
              },
            )
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

  • When you enter a key in TextField, it calls onChanged and make request to the _raisedFocusNode
  • RaisedButton’s focusNode value is _raisedFocusNode. When the RaisedButton gets focus, focusColor invokes and shows Red color

10.Color hoverColor

Use this property to change color when the pointer is hovering over the button. There is no hovering action in Mobile devices.

11.Color highlightColor

highlight color

highlightColor property uses to highlight the RaisedButton When it tapped.

RaisedButton(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(25),
          highlightColor: Colors.redAccent,
          child: Text('RaisedButton - highlight Color'),
          onPressed: () {
            //onpressed gets called when the button is tapped.
            print("RaisedButton tapped");
          },
        ),

12. Color splashColor

splash color example
splashColor property shows animation when touches the button, Like something falls into liquid.

RaisedButton(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(100),
          splashColor: Colors.redAccent,
          child: Text('RaisedButton - Splash Color'),
          //makes background color white
          onPressed: () {
            //onpressed gets called when the button is tapped.
            print("FlatButton tapped");
          },
        ),

13. Brightness colorBrightness

brightness example - raisedbutton

If colorBrightness is Brightness.light, then text color set to Black, otherwise text color set to white.

RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton - Brightness.light'),
                colorBrightness: Brightness.light,
                color: Colors.blue[100],
                onPressed: () {
                  //onpressed gets called when the button is tapped.
                  print("RaisedButton tapped");
                },
              ),
              RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton - Brightness.dark'),
                colorBrightness: Brightness.dark,
                color: Colors.black,
                onPressed: () {
                  //onpressed gets called when the button is tapped.
                  print("RaisedButton tapped");
                },
              ),

14. double elevation

flutter raisedbutton elevation

By increasing elevation, you can see RaisedButton is more floating above the page and shadow spreads too.


RaisedButton(
          elevation: 5.0,
          color: Color(0xFFCE93D8),
          child: Text('RaisedButton - Elevation'),
          onPressed: () {
            //onpressed gets called when the button is tapped.
            print("RaisedButton tapped");
          },
        ),

15. double focusElevation

focuselevation example
This property used to elevate or make shadow when the RaisedButton gets focus.

}

class HomeScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeScreenState createState() => _HomeScreenState();
}

class _HomeScreenState extends State {
  FocusNode _raisedFocusNode;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _raisedFocusNode = FocusNode();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _raisedFocusNode.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: "RaisedButton focusElevation Example",
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("RaisedButton focusElevation Example"),
        ),
        body: Column(
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
            Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 20.0),
              child: TextField(
                onChanged: (_) {
                  FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(_raisedFocusNode);
                },
              ),
            ),
            RaisedButton(

  • padding property needs EdgeInsets value.
  • Here EdgeInsets.all(50) means give 50 padding to all sides of the child or Text widget.
RaisedButton(
                child: Text('RaisedButton'),
                onPressed: () {},
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(50),

How To Change Width & Height Of RaisedButton

flutter raisedbutton height width

In this example, You will change RaisedButton height and width using ButtonTheme.


Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
            child: ButtonTheme(
              minWidth: double.infinity,
              height: 50.0,
              child: RaisedButton(
                color: Colors.amber[300],
                onPressed: () {},
                child: Text('RaisedButton'),
              ),
            ),
          ),

  • Here ButtonTheme helps to customize RaisedButton
  • minWidth: double.infinity means minimum width must be same as parent.
  • height: 50.0
  • If you remove padding widget, RaisedButton will stretch to screen.

RaisedButton With Image Icon Example in Flutter

          title: Text('RaisedButton Icon Example'),
        ), 
        body: Center(
          child: RaisedButton.icon(
            onPressed: () {
              print('RaisedButton.icon clicked');
            },
            icon: Icon(Icons.attach_file), //icon image
            label: Text('Attach File'), //text to show in button
            textColor: Colors.white, //button text and icon color.
            color: Colors.red[400],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}



Flutter Gradient RaisedButton Example

              ),
              padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 70.0, vertical: 15.0),
            ),
            onPressed: () {
              print('Gradient RaisedButton clicked');
            },
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}


Flutter RaisedButton Example – Data from List

flutter raisedbutton list example

In this example, you will create an application that will display items in the list using RaisedButton.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(
    MyApp(),
  );
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State {

  List myList = [
    'Sunday',
    'Monday',
    'Tuesday',
    'Wednesday',
    'Thursday',
    'Friday',
    'Saturday'
  ];

  int counter = 0;//stores list index

  @override

  • When you click on the RaisedButton, it will add counter variable by one.
  • Incrementing counter variable, shows different item in List
