What’s ScrollPhysics?

The ScrollPhysics class in Flutter determines the physics of a Scrollable widget, controlling how it behaves during scrolling actions. Key methods include applyTo, which allows combining different ScrollPhysics objects, and createBallisticSimulation, which simulates the scroll behavior based on velocity.

Check the official documentation for more.

ScrollPhysics explained for Android Developers

For Android developers, the ScrollPhysics class can be compared to the ScrollView in Android, where you can control the scroll behavior. Similar to how you might use OverScroll in Android to manage scroll effects, Flutter’s ScrollPhysics provides various options like BouncingScrollPhysics and ClampingScrollPhysics to customize the scroll experience.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use ScrollPhysics:

ScrollPhysics physics = const BouncingScrollPhysics();
final ScrollPhysics mergedPhysics = physics.applyTo(const AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics());

ScrollPhysics Remarks

Understanding the ScrollPhysics class is essential for creating smooth and responsive scrolling experiences in Flutter applications, similar to what Android developers are accustomed to.
