adjustPositionForNewDimensions method

@override double adjustPositionForNewDimensions({ required ScrollMetrics oldPosition, required ScrollMetrics newPosition, required bool isScrolling, required double velocity, })

Describes what the scroll position should be given new viewport dimensions.

This is called by ScrollPosition.correctForNewDimensions.

The arguments consist of the scroll metrics as they stood in the previous frame and the scroll metrics as they now stand after the last layout, including the position and minimum and maximum scroll extents; a flag indicating if the current ScrollActivity considers that the user is actively scrolling (see ScrollActivity.isScrolling); and the current velocity of the scroll position, if it is being driven by the scroll activity (this is 0.0 during a user gesture) (see ScrollActivity.velocity).

The scroll metrics will be identical except for the ScrollMetrics.minScrollExtent and ScrollMetrics.maxScrollExtent. They are referred to as the oldPosition and newPosition (even though they both technically have the same "position", in the form of ScrollMetrics.pixels) because they are generated from the ScrollPosition before and after updating the scroll extents.

If the returned value does not exactly match the scroll offset given by the newPosition argument (see ScrollMetrics.pixels), then the ScrollPosition will call ScrollPosition.correctPixels to update the new scroll position to the returned value, and layout will be re-run. This is expensive. The new value is subject to further manipulation by applyBoundaryConditions.

If the returned value does match the newPosition.pixels scroll offset exactly, then ScrollPosition.applyNewDimensions will be called next. In that case, applyBoundaryConditions is not applied to the return value.

The given ScrollMetrics are only valid during this method call. Do not keep references to them to use later, as the values may update, may not update, or may update to reflect an entirely unrelated scrollable.

The default implementation returns the ScrollMetrics.pixels of the newPosition, which indicates that the current scroll offset is acceptable.

• RangeMaintainingScrollPhysics, which is enabled by default, and which prevents unexpected changes to the content dimensions from causing the scroll position to get any further out of bounds.

Implementation

@override
double adjustPositionForNewDimensions(
    {required ScrollMetrics oldPosition,
    required ScrollMetrics newPosition,
    required bool isScrolling,
    required double velocity}) {
  if (newPosition.pixels <= 0) {
    return 0;
  }

  return super.adjustPositionForNewDimensions(
      oldPosition: oldPosition,
      newPosition: newPosition,
      isScrolling: isScrolling,
      velocity: velocity);
}
