GridView explained for Android Developers

The most commonly used grid layouts are GridView.count, which creates a layout with a fixed number of tiles in the cross axis, and GridView.extent, which creates a layout with tiles that have a maximum cross-axis extent. This is similar to how Android developers use RecyclerView with GridLayoutManager to create grid-like layouts, providing a familiar structure for those accustomed to Android development.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use GridView:

GridView.count(
  primary: false,
  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
  crossAxisSpacing: 10,
  mainAxisSpacing: 10,
  crossAxisCount: 2,
  children: [
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      color: Colors.teal[100],
      child: const Text("He'd have you all unravel at the"),
    ),
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      color: Colors.teal[200],
      child: const Text('Heed not the rabble'),
    ),
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      color: Colors.teal[300],
      child: const Text('Sound of screams but the'),
    ),
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      color: Colors.teal[400],
      child: const Text('Who scream'),
    ),
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      color: Colors.teal[500],
      child: const Text('Revolution is coming...'),
    ),
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      color: Colors.teal[600],
      child: const Text('Revolution, they...'),
    ),
  ],
)
