You can use LayoutBuilder to get sliver AppBar biggest height. When biggest.height = MediaQuery.of(context).padding.top + kToolbarHeight, it actually means sliver appbar is collapsed.
Here is a full example, in this example MediaQuery.of(context).padding.top + kToolbarHeight = 80.0:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(
home: MyApp(),
));
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
var top = 0.0;
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: NestedScrollView(
headerSliverBuilder: (BuildContext context, bool innerBoxIsScrolled) {
return <Widget>[
SliverAppBar(
expandedHeight: 200.0,
floating: false,
pinned: true,
flexibleSpace: LayoutBuilder(
builder: (BuildContext context, BoxConstraints constraints) {
// print('constraints=" + constraints.toString());
top = constraints.biggest.height;
return FlexibleSpaceBar(
centerTitle: true,
title: AnimatedOpacity(
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300),
//opacity: top == MediaQuery.of(context).padding.top + kToolbarHeight ? 1.0 : 0.0,
opacity: 1.0,
child: Text(
top.toString(),
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 12.0),
)),
background: Image.network(

fit: BoxFit.cover,
));
})),
];
},body: ListView.builder(
itemCount: 100,
itemBuilder: (context,index){
return Text("List Item: " + index.toString());
},
),
));
}
}
Final result:
