How to apply Linear gradient on box decoration in flutter?

Below is the UI that I want to build,

enter image description here

Currently, I have used linear gradient to achieve this. But the issue is the linear gradient disappears when I use image in the Box Decoration.

Below is the code,

    child: Container(
                      padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
                      height: 180,
                      child: Container(
                        padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
                        decoration: BoxDecoration(
                            borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(20)),
                          boxShadow: [
                            BoxShadow(
                              color: ColorSet.primaryGrey,
                              blurRadius: 5,
                              offset: Offset(0, 7),
                            ),
                          ],
                          gradient: LinearGradient(
                            colors: [ColorSet.primaryRed, Colors.transparent, Colors.transparent, ColorSet.primaryRed],
                            begin: Alignment.topCenter,
                            end: Alignment.bottomCenter,
                            stops: [0, 0, 0.6, 1],
                          ),

//On uncommenting the below three lines, I do not see the linear gradient
                          // image: DecorationImage(
                          //   image: AssetImage("lib/assets/images/event.jpg"),
                          //   fit: BoxFit.cover,
                          // ),
                        ),
                        child: Column(
                          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
                          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.end,
                          children: <Widget>[
                            Container(
                              //place this container to right side
                              constraints: BoxConstraints(maxWidth: 60.0),
                              padding: EdgeInsets.all(5),
                              decoration: BoxDecoration(
                                  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8.0),
                                  color: Colors.white.withOpacity(0.8)),
                              child: Row(
                                children: [
                                  Icon(
                                    CustomIcons.test,
                                    color: ColorSet.primaryRed,
                                  ),
                                  Text(
                                    flames.toString(),
                                    style: TextStyles.captionStyle.copyWith(
                                        color: ColorSet.primaryRed,
                                        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
                                        fontSize: 17.0),
                                  ),
                                ],
                              ),
                            ),
    
                            //display event name, start/end dates times and duration in a column
                            Column(
                              crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                              children: [
                                Text('${name}',
                                    style: TextStyles.titleStyle.copyWith(
                                        color: Colors.white,
                                        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
                                        fontSize: 20.0)),
                                SizedBox(
                                  height: 3.0,
                                ),
                              
                              ],
                            ),
    
                          ],
                        ),
                      ),
                    ),

Basically I need linear gradient to be displayed on the image. As mentioned in the above code (In comments), if I remove the image in Box Decoration, the linear gradient works perfectly fine. But on adding the image back, the linear gradient is missing. I guess the linear gradient is not applying on the image.

Kindly help!!

With help of card it is much easier

Card(
      semanticContainer: true,
      clipBehavior: Clip.antiAliasWithSaveLayer,
      child: InkWell(
        onTap: () => {},
        child: Ink.image(
          image: AssetImage(
            'images/logo2.png',
          ),
          fit: BoxFit.fill,
        ),
      ),
      shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10.0),
      ),
      elevation: 5,
      margin: EdgeInsets.all(10),
    );
  }

I did this way
Instead of 2 widget I used 1 with foreground and decoration attributes

Container(
  height: 150,
  width: 150,
  foregroundDecoration: BoxDecoration(
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(12.0)),
    gradient: LinearGradient(
      begin: Alignment.topCenter,
      end: Alignment.bottomCenter,
      colors: [
        Colors.black.withOpacity(.0),
        Colors.black.withOpacity(1),
      ],
    ),
  ),
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(12.0)),
    image: DecorationImage(
      image: AssetImage('images/logo2.png'),
    ),
  ),
),

A solution would be to Stack your current Container (with the LinearGradient and the Container child) on top of another Container defining the BoxShadow and the DecorationImage:

enter image description here


import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(
    MaterialApp(
      title: 'Scan with Time',
      home: Scaffold(
        body: MyWidget(),
      ),
    ),
  );
}

class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
      width: 240,
      height: 480,
      child: Stack(
        children: [
          Positioned.fill(
            child: Container(
              padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
              decoration: BoxDecoration(
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(20)),
                boxShadow: [
                  BoxShadow(
                    color: Colors.blueGrey,
                    blurRadius: 5,
                    offset: Offset(0, 7),
                  ),
                ],
                image: DecorationImage(
                  image: NetworkImage(
                      'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Old_man_reading_news_paper_early_in_the_morning_at_Basantapur-IMG_6800.jpg/1280px-Old_man_reading_news_paper_early_in_the_morning_at_Basantapur-IMG_6800.jpg'),
                  fit: BoxFit.cover,
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ),
          Positioned.fill(
            child: Container(
              padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
              decoration: BoxDecoration(
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(20)),
                gradient: LinearGradient(
                  colors: [
                    Colors.red,
                    Colors.transparent,
                    Colors.transparent,
                    Colors.red
                  ],
                  begin: Alignment.topCenter,
                  end: Alignment.bottomCenter,
                  stops: [0, 0, 0.6, 1],
                ),
              ),

                          ),
                        ),

                    ),
                  ),

                  //display event name, start/end dates times and duration in a column
                  Column(
                    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                    children: [

do something like this for gradient and background image.

Container(
      decoration: BoxDecoration(
          image:
          DecorationImage(image: AssetImage(image), fit: BoxFit.cover)),
      child: Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
            gradient: LinearGradient(colors: [
              Colors.black.withOpacity(.3),
              Colors.black.withOpacity(.3),
            ]
         )
      ),
   )
)
