InkWell not showing ripple effect

Question

Tapping the container triggers the onTap() handler but does not show any ink splash effect.

class _MyHomePageState extends State

        

Answer 1

I ran into this same problem trying to create an alternating color of InkWell's in a ListView. In that particular case, there's a simple solution: wrap the alternates in a Container that uses a mostly transparent tint/brightness change -- the InkWell touch animation will still be visible beneath it. No Material needed. Note there are other issues when trying to work around this with a Materal -- e.g., it will override a DefaultTextStyle you're using with the default (it installs an AnimatedDefaultTextStyle) which is a huge pain.
