How to create GridView Layout in Flutter

FlutterDartGridviewFlutter Layout

Flutter Problem Overview

I am trying to layout a 4x4 grid of tiles in flutter. I managed to do it with columns and rows. But now I found the GridView component. Could anyone provide an example on how to do it using it?

I can't really wrap my head around the docs. I don't seem to get the results I want.

Solution 1 - Flutter

Use whichever suits your need.

  1. GridView.count(...)

     GridView.count(
   crossAxisCount: 2,
   children: <Widget>[
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
   ],
 )

  2. GridView.builder(...)

     GridView.builder(
   gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(crossAxisCount: 2),
   itemBuilder: (_, index) => FlutterLogo(),
   itemCount: 4,
 )

  3. GridView(...)

     GridView(
   gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(crossAxisCount: 2),
   children: <Widget>[
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
   ],
 )

  4. GridView.custom(...)

     GridView.custom(
   gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(crossAxisCount: 2),
   childrenDelegate: SliverChildListDelegate(
     [
       FlutterLogo(),
       FlutterLogo(),
       FlutterLogo(),
       FlutterLogo(),
     ],
   ),
 )

  5. GridView.extent(...)

     GridView.extent(
   maxCrossAxisExtent: 400,
   children: <Widget>[
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
     FlutterLogo(),
   ],
 )

Output (same for all):

A simple example loading images into the tiles.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(

      color: Colors.white30,
      child: GridView.count(
          crossAxisCount: 4,
          childAspectRatio: 1.0,
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
          mainAxisSpacing: 4.0,
          crossAxisSpacing: 4.0,
          children: <String>[
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
            'http://www.for-example.org/img/main/forexamplelogo.png',
          ].map((String url) {
            return GridTile(
                child: Image.network(url, fit: BoxFit.cover));
          }).toList()),
    );
  }
}

Solution 3 - Flutter

GridView is used for implementing material grid lists. If you know you have a fixed number of items and it's not very many (16 is fine), you can use GridView.count. However, you should note that a GridView is scrollable, and if that isn't what you want, you may be better off with just rows and columns.

import 'dart:collection';
import 'package:flutter/scheduler.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.orange,
      ),
      home: new MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget{
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context){
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text('Grid Demo'),
      ),
      body: new GridView.count(
        crossAxisCount: 4,
        children: new List<Widget>.generate(16, (index) {
          return new GridTile(
            child: new Card(
              color: Colors.blue.shade200,
              child: new Center(
                child: new Text('tile $index'),
              )
            ),
          );
        }),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Please visit this repo.

Widget _gridView() {
    return GridView.count(
      crossAxisCount: 4,
      padding: EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
      childAspectRatio: 8.0 / 9.0,
      children: itemList
          .map(
            (Item) => ItemList(item: Item),
          )
          .toList(),
    );
  }

Below screenshot contains crossAxisCount: 2 this screenshot is for grid count 2

Solution 5 - Flutter

There are few named constructors in GridView for different scenarios,

Constructors

  1. GridView
  2. GridView.builder
  3. GridView.count
  4. GridView.custom
  5. GridView.extent

Below is a example of GridView constructor:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(
  MaterialApp(
    home: ExampleGrid(),
  ),
);

class ExampleGrid extends StatelessWidget {
  List<String> images = [
    "https://uae.microless.com/cdn/no_image.jpg",
    "https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81aF3Ob-2KL._UX679_.jpg",

  ];
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: GridView(
        physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(), // if you want IOS bouncing effect, otherwise remove this line
        gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(crossAxisCount: 2),//change the number as you want
        children: images.map((url) {
          return Card(child: Image.network(url));
        }).toList(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

If you want your GridView items to be dynamic according to the content, you can few lines to do that but the simplest way to use StaggeredGridView package. I have provided an answer with example here.

Below is an example for a GridView.count:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(
      MaterialApp(
        home: ExampleGrid(),
      ),
    );

class ExampleGrid extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: GridView.count(
        crossAxisCount: 4,
        children: List.generate(40, (index) {
          return Card(
            child: Image.network("https://robohash.org/$index"),
          ); //robohash.org api provide you different images for any number you are giving
        }),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Example for a SliverGridView:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(
      MaterialApp(
        home: ExampleGrid(),
      ),
    );

class ExampleGrid extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: CustomScrollView(
        primary: false,
        slivers: <Widget>[
          SliverPadding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20.0),
            sliver: SliverGrid.count(
              crossAxisSpacing: 10.0,
              crossAxisCount: 2,
              children: List.generate(20, (index) {
                return Card(child: Image.network("https://robohash.org/$index"));
              }),
            ),
          ),
        ],
      )
    );
  }
}

Solution 6 - Flutter

You can use a flutter_layout_grid package

First of all, we need to add it to our pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_layout_grid: ^1.0.3

Then, we can define a custom ItemCardLayoutGrid widget to show each ItemCard inside a LayoutGrid widget:

import 'package:flutter_layout_grid/flutter_layout_grid.dart';

class ItemCardLayoutGrid extends StatelessWidget {
  const ItemCardLayoutGrid({
    Key? key,
    required this.crossAxisCount,
    required this.items,
  })  
  // we only plan to use this with 1 or 2 columns
  : assert(crossAxisCount == 1 || crossAxisCount == 2),
    // assume we pass an list of 4 items for simplicity
    assert(items.length == 4),
    super(key: key);
  final int crossAxisCount;
  final List<ItemCardData> items;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return LayoutGrid(
      // set some flexible track sizes based on the crossAxisCount
      columnSizes: crossAxisCount == 2 ? [1.fr, 1.fr] : [1.fr],
      // set all the row sizes to auto (self-sizing height)
      rowSizes: crossAxisCount == 2
          ? const [auto, auto]
          : const [auto, auto, auto, auto],
      rowGap: 40, // equivalent to mainAxisSpacing
      columnGap: 24, // equivalent to crossAxisSpacing
      // note: there's no childAspectRatio
      children: [
        // render all the cards with *automatic child placement*
        for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
          ItemCard(data: items[i]),
      ],
    );
  }
}

And pass a list of children inside a loop (our ItemCard widgets):

children: [
  // render all the cards with *automatic child placement*
  for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
    ItemCard(data: items[i]),
]
