How to highlight the tapped view header in the Flutter Calendar?
In the Flutter Event Calendar, you can highlight the selected view header date and day by hiding the default headers and adding the custom widgets.
STEP 1: In initState(), set the default values for calendar.
String? _headerText = 'Header';
double? _width = 0.0, _cellWidth = 0.0;
List<String>? _dates = <String>['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7'],
_days = <String>['SUN', 'MON', 'TUE', 'WED', 'THU', 'FRI', 'SAT'];
bool? _selected = false;
int? _selectedIndex;
STEP 2: Using onViewChanged callback, get the visible dates and update dates to the corresponding header and view header texts.
child: SfCalendar(
headerHeight: 0,
viewHeaderHeight: 0,
view: CalendarView.week,
onViewChanged: (ViewChangedDetails viewChangedDetails) {
SchedulerBinding.instance!.addPostFrameCallback((duration) {
for (int i = 0;
i < viewChangedDetails.visibleDates.length;
i++) {
setState(() {
_dates![i] = DateFormat('dd')
.format(viewChangedDetails.visibleDates[i])
.toString();
_headerText = DateFormat('MMMM yyyy')
.format(viewChangedDetails.visibleDates[
viewChangedDetails.visibleDates.length ~/ 2])
.toString();
});
}
});
},
),
STEP 3: Using the ListView.builder widget load the view header text with GestureDetector. Then based on the selected index highlight the view header day and date text.
Container(
color: Color(0xFF381460),
width: _width,
height: _cellWidth,
child: Center(
child: Text(_headerText!,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 25, color: Colors.white)),
),
),
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(
left: _cellWidth!,
),
child: SizedBox(
height: _cellWidth,
child: ListView.builder(
shrinkWrap: true,
itemCount: _days!.length,
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return GestureDetector(
child: Container(
child: Column(
children: [
Container(
height: _cellWidth,
child: Center(
child: Text(
_days![index],
style: TextStyle(
color: _selected! && _selectedIndex == index
? Colors.orange
: Colors.black,
),
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
),
width: _cellWidth,
),
],
),
),
);
}),
),
),
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(left: _cellWidth!),
child: SizedBox(
height: _cellWidth! / 2,
child: ListView.builder(
shrinkWrap: true,
itemCount: _dates!.length,
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
setState(() {
_selected = true;
_selectedIndex = index;
});
},
child: Container(
child: Column(
children: [
Container(
child: Text(
_dates![index],
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
width: _cellWidth,
decoration: _selected! && _selectedIndex == index
? BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.orange,
shape: BoxShape.circle,
border: Border.all(
color: Colors.orange, width: 3))
: null,
),
],
),
),
);
}),
),
),
