Requirements

• Dart SDK: >=3.0.0
• Flutter: >=3.10.0

Features

See the WEB DEMO.

Two visual variants:

• Bars — classic stacked bars with optional rounded corners, bevelled style, and spacing
• Sector — quarter-circle arc segments with optional rounded caps

Installation

Add this to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  signal_strength_indicator: ^0.5.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

Import in your Dart code:

import 'package:signal_strength_indicator/signal_strength_indicator.dart';

Usage

Bars

SignalStrengthIndicator.bars(
  value: 0.6,
  size: 40,
  barCount: 4,
  spacing: 0.2,
  activeColor: Colors.green,
  inactiveColor: Colors.grey.shade300,
)

Sector

SignalStrengthIndicator.sector(
  value: 0.6,
  size: 40,
  barCount: 4,
  spacing: 0.3,
  rounded: true,
)

Custom value range

SignalStrengthIndicator.bars(
  value: -65,     // e.g. RSSI in dBm
  minValue: -100,
  maxValue: -40,
  size: 40,
)

Threshold-based coloring with levels

levels is a Map<num, Color> mapping absolute thresholds to colors. A bar/segment becomes active and uses the color of the highest threshold that is <= the current value.

SignalStrengthIndicator.bars(
  value: signalValue,
  minValue: 0,
  maxValue: 100,
  size: 40,
  barCount: 3,
  levels: {
    33: Colors.red,
    66: Colors.orange,
    100: Colors.green,
  },
)

Rounded corners and bevelled bars

// Rounded corners
SignalStrengthIndicator.bars(
  value: 0.7,
  size: 40,
  radius: const Radius.circular(4),
)

// Bevelled (each bar steps up at an angle)
SignalStrengthIndicator.bars(
  value: 0.7,
  size: 40,
  bevelled: true,
)
