How to remove the default padding applied to the horizontal scrollbar of Flutter DataTable (SfDataGrid) in iOS platform?
When the DataGrid is wrapped in a Column widget, the bottom padding creates a space between the DataGrid and the horizontal scrollbar. This can cause the scrollbar to overlap the DataGrid rows, making it difficult for the user to interact with the data. The following image demonstrates the issue.
In this article, learn how to remove the horizontal scrollbar padding in the Flutter DataGrid when loading the DataGrid as a child of the Column widget.
The framework-suggested solution in this query involves utilizing the MediaQuery widget to remove the bottom padding and prevent the overlap between the DataGrid and the horizontal scrollbar.
Initialize the SfDataGrid widget with all the required properties. Add the DataGrid as a child of the Column widget and wrap the Column widget in a MediaQuery widget. Set the 'removeBottom' property to 'true' in the MediaQuery.removePadding method and assign it to the MediaQuery.data property.
late EmployeeDataSource _employeeDataSource; List<Employee> _employees = <Employee>[]; @override void initState() { super.initState(); _employees = getEmployeeData(); _employeeDataSource = EmployeeDataSource(employees: _employees); } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Syncfusion Flutter DataGrid')), body: MediaQuery( data: MediaQuery.of(context).removePadding(removeBottom: true), child: Column( children: [ Expanded( child: SfDataGrid( source: _employeeDataSource, columns: columns, ), ), ], ), ), ); }
