In this post, I'm going to share with you the example for AnimatedPositioned Widget example in Flutter.
We will be creating a sample App with few buttons which will animate the container within the stack.
Here is how the example output is going to look.

Here is the code from main.dart file. You can copy paste this to your sample project and run it to see the final output.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'AnimatedPositioned Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: MyHomePage(title: 'AnimatedPositioned Demo'),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
@override
_MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
double pos_l = 0;
double pos_r = 0;
double pos_t = 0;
double pos_b = 0;
void _movewidget(String pos) {
setState(() {
if (pos == "Up") {
pos_l = 0;
pos_r = 0;
pos_t = 0;
pos_b = 100;
} else if (pos == "Right") {
pos_l = 100;
pos_r = 0;
pos_t = 0;
pos_b = 0;
} else if (pos == "Down") {
pos_l = 0;
pos_r = 0;
pos_t = 100;
pos_b = 0;
} else if (pos == "Left") {
pos_l = 0;
pos_r = 100;
pos_t = 0;
pos_b = 0;
}
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(widget.title),
),
body: Center(
child: Container(
child: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
AnimatedPositioned(
left: pos_l,
right: pos_r,
top: pos_t,
bottom: pos_b,
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500),
child: Center(
child: Container(
color: Colors.red,
width: 100.0,
height: 100.0,
),
),
),
Positioned(
bottom: 100,
left: 160,
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
_movewidget("Up");
},
child: Icon(Icons.keyboard_arrow_up),
),
),
Positioned(
bottom: 60,
left: 260,
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
_movewidget("Right");
},
child: Icon(Icons.keyboard_arrow_right),
),
),
Positioned(
bottom: 10,
left: 160,
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
_movewidget("Down");
},
child: Icon(Icons.keyboard_arrow_down),
),
),
Positioned(
bottom: 60,
left: 60,
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
_movewidget("Left");
},
child: Icon(Icons.keyboard_arrow_left),
),
)
],
),
)),
);
}
}
Hope this example is useful to you.
Thanks,
