Changing Icon Color behind ListTile in an ExpansionPanelList.radio

838

If you are using an ExpansionPanelList you can only change the color of it's ExpandIcon (The widget which has the arrow) via the theme brightness , here is an excerpt of the code inside the ExpandIcon:

    switch(Theme.of(context).brightness) {
      case Brightness.light:
        return Colors.black54;
      case Brightness.dark:
        return Colors.white60;
    }

This widget also has attributes to change its expanded and disabled color but unfortunately ExpansionPanelList does not passes these custom attributes to the ExpandIcon hence you will go to the fallback switch I pasted above.

One solution can be to extract ExpansionPanelList from the framework and add the properties color,disabledColor,expandedColor, to its constructor. I renamed the class ExpansionPanelList to ColoredExpansionPanelList and added the previous color attributes to pass them to its child ExpandIcon.

    In a ListTile of ExpansionPanelList, the trialing is already given as an arrow down, and when the ListTile is expanded, the arrow changes to arrow up.

    However, it's dark in color. I added trailing: Icon(blah blah). This merely added an icon between the title and the default trailing button(arrow down).

    How do I change the color of the default trailing button while keeping its versatility that it turns into an arrow up when the box is expanded?

    I tried wrapping the ListTile in a theme, which was what someone recommended, but the color of the arrow down doesn't change as seen below:

    Widget _buildPanel() {
        return ExpansionPanelList.radio(
          initialOpenPanelValue: 0,
          children: _data.map<ExpansionPanelRadio>((Item item) {
            return ExpansionPanelRadio(
              backgroundColor: Colors.black,
              canTapOnHeader: true,
