You forgot to call _controller.forward() and no need to add setState in the listener as the animation is handled by AnimatedBuilder — Afridi Kayal, Jan 14 '21 at 05:05

Try this:

initState() {
    ....... // Your code
    _startAnimation();
}

void _startAnimation() {
    try {
        _controller.forward().orCancel;
    } on TickerCanceled { }
}

You forgot to use the AnimatedBuilders child in its builder callback (the third parameter). Only the widget returned by builder is shown, child is used to specify some widgets that don’t depend on the animation, it you still have to include it in whatever you make in the builder. That is:

AnimatedBuilder(
  animation: animation,
  builder: (context, animation, child) => Container(
    width: animation.value,
    child: child,
  ),
  child: TheWidgetThatWillGoIntoTheContainer(),

It also looks like you wanted to use _animation.value for the Container with instead of _controller.value.

Like the other answer said, you’ll have to start the animation with _controller.forward(); probably in initState. And you don’t want to do setState in the listener, because that will rebuild the whole statefull widget, instead of just the builder of AnimatedBuilder.

Btw, there is also AnimatedContainer, which is a bit more limited but also simpler.
