Question 1

How do I use FoldingCell in a Flutter ListView?

Accepted Answer

The README includes a demo for FoldingCell inside a ListView. Implement it by using SimpleFoldingCell.create() in the itemBuilder of ListView.builder, ensuring each cell has a unique key to manage state independently, as shown in the example project.

Question 2

FoldingCell or ExpansionPanel: which should I use for expandable content?

Accepted Answer

FoldingCell provides a unique folding animation for custom UI effects, while ExpansionPanel is part of Flutter's Material Design with built-in theming and accessibility. Choose FoldingCell for animated novelty, and ExpansionPanel for standard Material apps with less customization.

Question 3

Can I change the animation curve in FoldingCell?

Accepted Answer

Currently, FoldingCell only allows setting the animation duration via `animationDuration` and does not support custom animation curves. For more control, you might need to look into other packages or modify the source code directly.

Question 4

Is FoldingCell accessible for users with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

The package does not explicitly handle accessibility features. Developers should ensure that the front and inner widgets include proper semantics, such as using the Semantics widget, to make it accessible for screen readers and other assistive technologies.

Question 5

How to update the inner widget content dynamically in FoldingCell?

Accepted Answer

To update content dynamically, rebuild the widget tree with new data for the innerWidget. Since it uses a GlobalKey, manage this within a StatefulWidget to trigger rebuilds appropriately while preserving state if needed.
