CupertinoPicker class

An iOS-styled picker.

Displays its children widgets on a wheel for selection and calls back when the currently selected item changes.

By default, the first child in children will be the initially selected child. The index of a different child can be specified in scrollController, to make that child the initially selected child.

Can be used with showCupertinoModalPopup to display the picker modally at the bottom of the screen. When calling showCupertinoModalPopup, be sure to set semanticsDismissible to true to enable dismissing the modal via semantics.

Sizes itself to its parent. All children are sized to the same size based on itemExtent.

By default, descendent texts are shown with CupertinoTextThemeData.pickerTextStyle.

This example shows a CupertinoPicker that displays a list of fruits on a wheel for selection.

Creates a picker from a concrete list of children.
CupertinoPicker.builder({Key? key, double diameterRatio = _kDefaultDiameterRatio, Color? backgroundColor, double offAxisFraction = 0.0, bool useMagnifier = false, double magnification = 1.0, FixedExtentScrollController? scrollController, double squeeze = _kSqueeze, ChangeReportingBehavior changeReportingBehavior = ChangeReportingBehavior.onScrollUpdate, required double itemExtent, required ValueChanged<int>? onSelectedItemChanged, required NullableIndexedWidgetBuilder itemBuilder, int? childCount, Widget? selectionOverlay = const CupertinoPickerDefaultSelectionOverlay()})
Creates a picker from an IndexedWidgetBuilder callback where the builder is dynamically invoked during layout.

Properties

backgroundColor → Color?
Background color behind the children.
