<p>In this article, I'm going to share you an example of how to handle gestures in Flutter. This is how the final output is going to look. ![](https://fluttercentral.com/Uploads/3fad2eb1-ce22-4c58-a565-c657fecec8db.gifwidth="50%height="auto](</p> <p id="98c379;]("Tapped";" _action="" color:="" color:="">In this below example you handle color: rgb(187, 187, 187); font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(40, 44, 52);](onTap, color: rgb(187, 187, 187); font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(40, 44, 52);](onDoubleTap and color: rgb(187, 187, 187); font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(40, 44, 52);](onLongPressfont-size: 1rem;]( gestures. Check out <a href="https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/GestureDetector-class.html">https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/GestureDetector-class.html</a> for more properties. Here is the full code from main.dart file.
