Question 1

How to change the animation speed in flutter_radial_menu?

Accepted Answer

Adjust the menuAnimationDuration and progressAnimationDuration parameters in the RadialMenu widget to control opening/closing and progress animations. Set them to Duration values like Duration(milliseconds: 500) for faster effects, as detailed in the README.

Question 2

flutter_radial_menu vs circular_menu – which is better for Flutter?

Accepted Answer

flutter_radial_menu focuses on smooth animations and simple customization with progress arcs, while circular_menu might offer different styling options. Compare on pub.dev: choose flutter_radial_menu if you need built-in progress feedback and easy theming; otherwise, evaluate based on specific feature needs.

Question 3

Can I use images instead of icons in flutter_radial_menu?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the child parameter in RadialMenuItem accepts any Flutter widget, such as Image or Container, allowing custom visuals beyond icons. Refer to the README's customization table for how to set child widgets.

Question 4

Is flutter_radial_menu accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention accessibility features. You'll likely need to wrap items with Semantics widgets or handle focus manually to ensure compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies.

Question 5

How to handle more than 5 items in flutter_radial_menu?

Accepted Answer

The widget layouts items evenly in a circular arc based on the radius parameter. Test with your item count; very large numbers might require adjusting the radius or custom logic to avoid overlap, as the README doesn't specify limits.

Question 6

What's the default radius and how to customize it?

Accepted Answer

The default radius is 100.0, but you can change it via the radius parameter in RadialMenu to control the arc spread. Increase it for more items or a larger menu, as shown in the quick start example.
