Taps, drags, and other gestures

 

This document explains how to listen for, and respond to, gestures in Flutter. Examples of gestures include taps, drags, and scaling.

The gesture system in Flutter has two separate layers. The first layer has raw pointer events that describe the location and movement of pointers (for example, touches, mice, and styli) across the screen. The second layer has gestures that describe semantic actions that consist of one or more pointer movements.

Pointers

Pointers represent raw data about the user’s interaction with the device’s screen. There are four types of pointer events:

PointerDownEventThe pointer has contacted the screen at a particular location.PointerMoveEventThe pointer has moved from one location on the screen to another.PointerUpEventThe pointer has stopped contacting the screen.PointerCancelEventInput from this pointer is no longer directed towards this app.

On pointer down, the framework does a hit test on your app to determine which widget exists at the location where the pointer contacted the screen. The pointer down event (and subsequent events for that pointer) are then dispatched to the innermost widget found by the hit test. From there, the events bubble up the tree and are dispatched to all the widgets on the path from the innermost widget to the root of the tree. There is no mechanism for canceling or stopping pointer events from being dispatched further.

To listen to pointer events directly from the widgets layer, use a Listener widget. However, generally, consider using gestures (as discussed below) instead.

Gestures

Gestures represent semantic actions (for example, tap, drag, and scale) that are recognized from multiple individual pointer events, potentially even multiple individual pointers. Gestures can dispatch multiple events, corresponding to the lifecycle of the gesture (for example, drag start, drag update, and drag end):

Tap

onTapDownA pointer that might cause a tap has contacted the screen at a particular location.onTapUpA pointer that will trigger a tap has stopped contacting the screen at a particular location.onTapThe pointer that previously triggered the onTapDown has also triggered onTapUp which ends up causing a tap.onTapCancelThe pointer that previously triggered the onTapDown will not end up causing a tap.

Double tap

onDoubleTapThe user has tapped the screen at the same location twice in quick succession.

Long press

onLongPressA pointer has remained in contact with the screen at the same location for a long period of time.

Vertical drag

onVerticalDragStartA pointer has contacted the screen and might begin to move vertically.onVerticalDragUpdateA pointer that is in contact with the screen and moving vertically has moved in the vertical direction.onVerticalDragEndA pointer that was previously in contact with the screen and moving vertically is no longer in contact with the screen and was moving at a specific velocity when it stopped contacting the screen.

Horizontal drag

onHorizontalDragStartA pointer has contacted the screen and might begin to move horizontally.onHorizontalDragUpdateA pointer that is in contact with the screen and moving horizontally has moved in the horizontal direction.onHorizontalDragEndA pointer that was previously in contact with the screen and moving horizontally is no longer in contact with the screen and was moving at a specific velocity when it stopped contacting the screen.

Pan

onPanStartA pointer has contacted the screen and might begin to move horizontally or vertically. This callback causes a crash if onHorizontalDragStart or onVerticalDragStart is set.onPanUpdateA pointer that is in contact with the screen and is moving in the vertical or horizontal direction. This callback causes a crash if onHorizontalDragUpdate or onVerticalDragUpdate is set.onPanEndA pointer that was previously in contact with screen is no longer in contact with the screen and is moving at a specific velocity when it stopped contacting the screen. This callback causes a crash if onHorizontalDragEnd or onVerticalDragEnd is set.

Adding gesture detection to widgets

To listen to gestures from the widgets layer, use a GestureDetector.

If you’re using Material Components, many of those widgets already respond to taps or gestures. For example, IconButton and FlatButton respond to presses (taps), and ListView responds to swipes to trigger scrolling. If you are not using those widgets, but you want the “ink splash” effect on a tap, you can use InkWell.

Gesture disambiguation

At a given location on screen, there might be multiple gesture detectors. All of these gesture detectors listen to the stream of pointer events as they flow past and attempt to recognize specific gestures. The GestureDetector widget decides which gestures to attempt to recognize based on which of its callbacks are non-null.

When there is more than one gesture recognizer for a given pointer on the screen, the framework disambiguates which gesture the user intends by having each recognizer join the gesture arena. The gesture arena determines which gesture wins using the following rules:

• At any time, a recognizer can declare defeat and leave the arena. If there’s only one recognizer left in the arena, that recognizer is the winner.

• At any time, a recognizer can declare victory, which causes it to win and all the remaining recognizers to lose.

For example, when disambiguating horizontal and vertical dragging, both recognizers enter the arena when they receive the pointer down event. The recognizers observe the pointer move events. If the user moves the pointer more than a certain number of logical pixels horizontally, the horizontal recognizer declares victory and the gesture is interpreted as a horizontal drag. Similarly, if the user moves more than a certain number of logical pixels vertically, the vertical recognizer declares victory.

The gesture arena is beneficial when there is only a horizontal (or vertical) drag recognizer. In that case, there is only one recognizer in the arena and the horizontal drag is recognized immediately, which means the first pixel of horizontal movement can be treated as a drag and the user won’t need to wait for further gesture disambiguation.
