When dragging modal bottom sheets, the flutter application starts lagging if a lot of widgets live inside the sheet. This only occurs on the modal bottom sheet (showModalBottomSheet) and not on the normal one (showBottomSheet). Below I attached a screenshot of the performance analysis, which shows, that all widgets inside the sheet are beeing constantly rebuilt while the user is dragging.
I wrote a little demo to compare the performance of the two types of sheets. Is there a way to prevent the rebuilding while dragging?
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
/// This Widget is the main application widget.
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: "demo",
home: Scaffold(
body: MyButtons(),
),
);
}
}
class MyButtons extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
showModalBottomSheet<void>(
context: context,
builder: (context) => BottomSheet(),
);
},
child: Text("show modal (laggy)"),
),
RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
showBottomSheet<void>(
context: context,
builder: (context) => BottomSheet(),
);
},
child: Text("show normal (not laggy)"),
),
],
),
);
}
}
class BottomSheet extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Wrap(
spacing: 8.0,
alignment: WrapAlignment.center,
children: List<Widget>.generate(
100,
(int index) {
return InputChip(
label: Text("test"),
);
},
),
);
}
}
