Adding Material Touch Ripples

While designing an app that should follow the Material Design Guidelines, we’ll want to add the ripple animation to Widgets when tapped.

Flutter provides the InkWell Widget to achieve this effect.

Directions

Create a Widget we want to tap
Wrap it in an InkWell Widget to manage tap callbacks and ripple animations

// The InkWell Wraps our custom flat button Widget
new InkWell(
  // When the user taps the button, show a snackbar
  onTap: () {
    Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(new SnackBar(
      content: new Text('Tap'),
    ));
  },
  child: new Container(
    padding: new EdgeInsets.all(12.0),
    child: new Text('Flat Button'),
  ),
);

Complete Example

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final title = 'InkWell Demo';

    return new MaterialApp(
      title: title,
      home: new MyHomePage(title: title),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  final String title;

  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text(title),
      ),
      body: new Center(child: new MyButton()),
    );
  }
}

class MyButton extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // The InkWell Wraps our custom flat button Widget
    return new InkWell(
      // When the user taps the button, show a snackbar
      onTap: () {
        Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(new SnackBar(
          content: new Text('Tap'),
        ));
      },
      child: new Container(
        padding: new EdgeInsets.all(12.0),
        child: new Text('Flat Button'),
      ),
    );
  }
}
