Allow for launching Rubber from functions

[mcrovero]

It is possible with the latest version.
Just call:

_controller.visibility = true; //false

[GroovinChip]

So in, say, the onPressed for a FAB:

onPressed: () {
   _controller.visibility = true;
}

Is that right? Also, what would the proper values be to make Rubber mimic a ModalBottomSheet, where it appears at a set height and can be dismissed?

[mcrovero]

Exactly!
To make it mimic the ModalBottomSheet you can set the animationController as follows:

_controller = RubberAnimationController(
      vsync: this,
      lowerBound: 0.0,
      upperBound: 0.5,
      duration: Duration(milliseconds: 200)
);

and open it with

 _controller.launchTo(AnimationState.expanded);

I'm probably simplify this mechanism in the next release.

Thank you, I'll try it out! Are you on twitter? Good place to announce releases

[GroovinChip]

ok, I just tried it out, and swiping up on Rubber doesn't make it expand. Swiping down, however, does dismiss Rubber with a very quick red screen error.

[mcrovero]

Yes, I've just fixed the red screen issue in the newest version.
Swiping up shouldn't open the bottom sheet because it would prevent the lower layer from scrolling.

Yes, I'm on Twitter as @mattia_crovero.
Thanks for the advice!

So it's not possible to use Rubber in this way at all? I've been on the hunt for a way to replicate Google Maps's expanding bottom sheet for months and haven't found anything.

[mcrovero]

In Google maps the swipe starts from the BottomNavigationView, I think that it is possible to reproduce it with rubber. It could be a nice feature for the library

Looking forward to updates! I followed you on twitter. If you're able to replicate the Google Maps sheet, I will be in awe haha.
