Handling User

Interactions in
Flutter
What is User Interaction?
User interaction refers to how users engage with an app using
touch, gestures, and input.
Examples include:
• Pressing buttons
• Swiping
• Typing in text fields
• Dragging & long pressing
Handling Button Clicks
Buttons are the most common interactive elements
Example

ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () {
print('Button Clicked!');
},
child: Text('Click Me'),)
Detecting Gestures with GestureDetector
GestureDetector allows us to detect taps, swipes, long presses, etc.
Example:

GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
print('Container tapped!');
},
child: Container(
color: Colors.blue,
width: 100,
height: 100,
),
)
Handling Long Press & Double Tap
GestureDetector can detect different gestures
Example:

GestureDetector(
onLongPress: () {
print('Long Press Detected');
},
child: Icon(
Icons.favorite,
size: 50,
color: Colors.red
),
)
Dragging & Swiping in Flutter
Swiping & dragging gestures are useful for lists & animations
Example: Detecting horizontal swipe

GestureDetector(
onHorizontalDragEnd: (details) {
print('Swiped Horizontally!');
}, child: Container(
width: 200,
height: 100,
color: Colors.green,
),
)
Handling Text Input
TextField allows users to enter text
Example:
TextField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
labelText: 'Enter your name'),
onChanged: (text) {
print('User typed: $text');
},
)
Handling Forms & Validation
Use TextFormField with Form widget
Example of validating input:

TextFormField(
validator: (value) {
if (value == null || value.isEmpty) {
return 'Please enter some text';
}
return null;
},
)
