Flutter TabBar example with TabBarView

Hi In this flutter tutorial we make flutter TabBar with TabBarView and some adding UI. When we use TabBar, we should use a TabController to handle the various aspects of a tab. In this flutter example, we use DefaultTabController, which makes it easy. You can also use a custom TabController, but that requires additional inputs. Let us stick to DefaultTabController for this example.

Futter TabBar with DefaultTabController

Let start to make it Create a basic Flutter Application in Android Studio or your favourite IDE and replace the main. dart file with the following code to make TabBar in your App.

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DefaultTabController(
      length: 3,
      child: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          bottom: TabBar(
            indicator: BoxDecoration(
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50), // Creates border
                color: Colors.blue.shade700), //Change background color from here
            tabs: [
              Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.flight)),
              Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.directions_transit)),
              Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.directions_car)),
            ],
          ),
          title: Text('Tabs Demo - Codeplayon.com'),
        ),
        body: TabBarView(
          children: [
            Icon(Icons.flight, size: 350),
            Icon(Icons.directions_transit, size: 350),
            Icon(Icons.directions_car, size: 350),
          ],
