Details

Hey! 👋 I am using few WebViews as a rows in ListView widget, I know that WebView is pretty expensive widget but I found out such an interesting case when using/testing WebViews (can be blank no matter what's inside) in ListView. It causes flickering of whole interface. There are some issues with similar behaviour but not exactly the same. I am on Flutter 2.10.1 (Stable)

It is happening for me only on 120hz screen of iPhone 13 Pro. Couldn't reproduce it on simulator.

Target Platform: iOS
Target OS version/browser: 15.3.1
Devices:iPhone 13 Pro

webview_flutter: ^3.0.1

Reproduce code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:webview_flutter/webview_flutter.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Test app'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
            Expanded(
              child: ListView.builder(
                itemCount: 20,
                itemBuilder: ((context, index) {
                  return Container(
                    margin: const EdgeInsets.all(10),
                    height: 200,
                    child: const WebView(
                      initialUrl: 'https://flutter.dev',
                    ),
                  );
                }),
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
