Flutter bottom navigation where one page has tabs
Solution 1
You can use nested Scaffold
widgets. This works in Flutter 1.1.8:
// This is the outer Scaffold. No AppBar here
Scaffold(
// Workaround for https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/7036
resizeToAvoidBottomPadding: false,
body: _getCurrentPage(), // AppBar comes from the Scaffold of the current page
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
// ...
)
)
Solution 2
As far as I know you can't , but I managed to solve this problem by adding a separate AppBar
to each page navigated through the bottomNavigationBar
:
provide each of your _pages
with a separate app bar, and remove the main one from your build
method.

I would like to create A scaffold with bottom navigation bar, and an app bar which always displays current page title. When I change bottom bar option, the content changes obviously. Everything this far is ok with classic NavigationBar structure. But the problem starts when on of the content pages should have tabs on top of them. I have my appbar created in parents Scaffold. Is there anyway to add tabs to parent widgets appBar ?
My AppBar + BottomNavBar page:
class MainPage extends StatefulWidget { @override State<StatefulWidget> createState() { return _MainPageState(); } } class _MainPageState extends State<MainPage> { int _currentPageIndex; List<Widget> _pages = List(); Widget _getCurrentPage() => _pages[_currentPageIndex]; @override void initState() { setState(() { _currentPageIndex = 0; _pages.add(BlocProvider(bloc: AgendaBloc(), child: AgendaPage())); _pages.add(SpeakersPage()); _pages.add(MenuPage()); }); super.initState(); } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: MyAppBar( title: 'Agenda'), body: _getCurrentPage(), bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar( currentIndex: _currentPageIndex, onTap: (index){ setState(() { _currentPageIndex = index; }); }, items: [ BottomNavigationBarItem( icon: Icon(Icons.content_paste), title: Text('Agenda'), ), BottomNavigationBarItem( icon: Icon(Icons.group), title: Text('Speakers'), ), BottomNavigationBarItem( icon: Icon(Icons.menu), title: Text('Menu'), ), ], ), ); } }
Now lets say that I want my AgendaPage widget to display tabs on top of view. Is there any easy, non-hacky way to do this ?

user1321706 over 5 yearsThats what I managed to do. Transition from "app-bar-only-page" to another is smooth. However there is an 'ugly' redraw when switching to page with tabs (app bar blinks for a sec). Thought there might be something I can do about it, just dont know yet.

user1321706 over 5 yearsMarking this answer as correct, since this is what I've ended up doing. Seems to be working well. Just incase someone made my mistake: If you build tabs page with StreamBuilder, note that it will always emit null as the first element. This may cause flutter to render your "No data view" (empty Container probably), and then the correct one. The effect is that tabs 'blinks' every time you switch to them.
