I am using CheckboxListTile to show some todo item in flutter(v3.0.4). This is the code looks like:
CheckboxListTile(
controlAffinity: ListTileControlAffinity.leading,
title: Text(element.name,style:element.isCompleted == 1? TextStyle(color: Colors.grey):TextStyle(color: Colors.black)),
value: element.isCompleted == 1?true:false,
checkColor: Colors.green,
selected: element.isCompleted == 1?true:false,
onChanged: (bool? value) {
if(value!){
element.isCompleted = 1;
}else{
element.isCompleted = 0;
}
TodoProvider.updateTodo(element).then((value) => {
TodoProvider.getTodos().then((todos) => {
buildTodoItems(todos)
})
});
},
))
when the user tap the CheckboxListTile item text, I want to show the todo detail information, when the user tap the checkbox, I want to make the todo task changed to complete. Now I am facing a problem is that I could not detect which part the user tap, all the way will trigger onchange event. I have already read the CheckboxListTile source code, seems no api to do this. Am I misssing something? what should I do to detect which part the user select?
You can wrap your title in a GestureDetector(). Now when the title is tapped, only the gesture detector will be run, and not the onChanged().
In this example, if you tap on the text "Checkbox" then you can see the actual checkbox value is not being updated but the GestureDetector is being called, and if you look at the console "tapped" is being printed.
Here is a complete example. I hope you understand:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
home: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: MyWidget(),
),
),
);
}
}
class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
const MyWidget({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
State<MyWidget> createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}
class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> {
var _value = false;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return CheckboxListTile(
title: GestureDetector(
child: Text('Checkbox'),
onTap: () {
print('tapped');
// you can change the value here too
// setState(() {
// _value = !_value;
// });
},
),
value: _value,
onChanged: (bool? value) {
setState(() {
_value = value!;
});
},
);
;
}
}
I have a listview that I want to enable shortcuts like Ctrl+c, Enter, etc this improves user experience.
The issue is after I click/tap on an item, it loses focus and the shortcut keys no longer work.
Is there a fix or a workaround for this?

Tested with Windows 10 and flutter 3.0.1
Using Get State manager.
In Flutter, a ListView or GridView containing a number of ListTile widgets, you may notice that the selection and the focus are separate. We also have the issue of tap() which ideally sets both the selection and the focus - but by default tap does nothing to affect focus or selection.
The the official demo of ListTile selected property https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/ListTile/selected.html
shows how we can manually implement a selected ListTile and get tap() to change the selected ListTile. But this does nothing for us in terms of synchronising focus.
Note: As that demo shows, tracking the selected ListTile needs to
be done manualy, by having e.g. a selectedIndex variable, then setting the
selected property of a ListTile to true if the index matches the
selectedIndex.
Here are a couple of solutions to the problem of to the syncronising focus, selected and tap in a listview.
Solution 1 (deprecated, not recommended):
The main problem is accessing focus behaviour - by default we have no access
to each ListTile's FocusNode.
UPDATE: Actually it turns out that there is a way to access a focusnode, and thus allocating our own focusnodes is not necessary - see Solution 2 below. You use the Focus widget with a child: Builder(builder: (BuildContext context) then you can access the focusnode with FocusScope.of(context).focusedChild. I am leaving this first solution here for study, but recommend solution 2 instead.
But by allocating a focus node for each ListTile item in the
ListView, we then do. You see, normally a ListTile item allocates its own focus
node, but that's bad for us because we want to access each focus node from
the outside. So we allocate the focus nodes ourselves and pass them to the
ListTile items as we build them, which means a ListTile no longer has to
allocate a FocusNode itself - note: this is not a hack - supplying custom
FocusNodes is supported in the ListTile API. We now get access to the
FocusNode object for each ListTile item, and
invoke its requestFocus()
method whenever selection changes.
we also listen in the FocusNode
objects for changes in focus, and update the selection whenever focus
changes.
The benefits of custom focus node which we supply ourselves to each ListTile
are:
We can access the focus node from outside the ListTile widget.
We can use the focus node to request focus.
We can listen to changes in focus.
BONUS: We can wire shortcuts directly into the focus node without the usual Flutter shortcut complexity.
This code synchronises selection, focus and tap behaviour, as well as supporting up and down arrow changing the selection.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
// Enhancements to the official ListTile 'selection' demo
// https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/ListTile/selected.html to
// incorporate Andy's enhancements to sync tap, focus and selected.
// This version includes up/down arrow key support.
void main() => runApp(const MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
static const String _title =
'Synchronising ListTile selection, focus and tap - with up/down arrow key support';
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: _title,
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text(_title)),
body: const MyStatefulWidget(),
),
);
}
}
class MyStatefulWidget extends StatefulWidget {
const MyStatefulWidget({super.key});
#override
State<MyStatefulWidget> createState() => _MyStatefulWidgetState();
}
class _MyStatefulWidgetState extends State<MyStatefulWidget> {
int _selectedIndex = 0;
late List _focusNodes; // our custom focus nodes
void changeSelected(int index) {
setState(() {
_selectedIndex = index;
});
}
void changeFocus(int index) {
_focusNodes[index].requestFocus(); // this works!
}
// initstate
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_focusNodes = List.generate(
10,
(index) => FocusNode(onKeyEvent: (node, event) {
print(
'focusnode detected: ${event.logicalKey.keyLabel} ${event.runtimeType} $index ');
// The focus change that happens when the user presses TAB,
// SHIFT+TAB, UP and DOWN arrow keys happens on KeyDownEvent (not
// on the KeyUpEvent), so we ignore the KeyDownEvent and let
// Flutter do the focus change. That way we don't need to worry
// about programming manual focus change ourselves, say, via
// methods on the focus nodes, which would be an unecessary
// duplication.
//
// Once the focus change has happened naturally, all we need to do
// is to change our selected state variable (which we are manually
// managing) to the new item position (where the focus is now) -
// we can do this in the KeyUpEvent. The index of the KeyUpEvent
// event will be item we just moved focus to (the KeyDownEvent
// supplies the old item index and luckily the corresponding
// KeyUpEvent supplies the new item index - where the focus has
// just moved to), so we simply set the selected state value to
// that index.
if (event.runtimeType == KeyUpEvent &&
(event.logicalKey == LogicalKeyboardKey.arrowUp ||
event.logicalKey == LogicalKeyboardKey.arrowDown ||
event.logicalKey == LogicalKeyboardKey.tab)) {
changeSelected(index);
}
return KeyEventResult.ignored;
}));
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return ListView.builder(
itemCount: 10,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return ListTile(
focusNode: _focusNodes[
index], // allocate our custom focus node for each item
title: Text('Item $index'),
selected: index == _selectedIndex,
onTap: () {
changeSelected(index);
changeFocus(index);
},
);
},
);
}
}
Important Note: The above solution doesn't work when changing the number of items, because all the focusnodes are allocated during initState which only gets called once. For example if the number of items increases then there are not enough focusnodes to go around and the build step will crash.
The next solution (below) does not explicitly allocate focusnodes and is a more robust solution which supports rebuilding and adding and removing items dynamically.
Solution 2 (allows rebuilds, recommended)

Edit:
this works to regain focus, however, the focus starts again from the top widget and not from the widget that was clicked on. I hope this answer still helps
Edit 2 I found a solution, you'll have to create a separate FocusNode() for each element on your listview() and requestFocus() on that in your inkwell. Complete updated working example (use this one, not the one in the original answer):
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class SomeIntent extends Intent {}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.orange,
),
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
MyHomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final myItemModelList = List.generate(10, (index) => Text('${index + 1}'));
final _focusNodes = List.generate(myItemModelList.length, (index) => FocusNode());
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(),
body: myItemModelList.isEmpty
? const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator())
: ListView.builder(
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
final item = myItemModelList[index];
return RawKeyboardListener(
focusNode: _focusNodes[index],
onKey: (event) {
if (event.logicalKey.keyLabel == 'Arrow Down') {
FocusScope.of(context).nextFocus();
}
},
child: Actions(
actions: {
SomeIntent: CallbackAction<SomeIntent>(
// this will not launch if I manually focus on the item and press enter
onInvoke: (intent) => print(
'SomeIntent action was launched for item ${item}'),
)
},
child: InkWell(
focusColor: Colors.blue,
onTap: () {
_focusNodes[index].requestFocus();
},
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Container(
color: Colors.blue,
height: 50,
child: ListTile(
title: myItemModelList[index],
subtitle: myItemModelList[index]),
),
),
),
),
);
},
itemCount: myItemModelList.length,
),
);
}
}
Edit 3:
To also detect the up key you can try:
onKey: (event) {
if (event.isKeyPressed(LogicalKeyboardKey.arrowDown)) {
FocusScope.of(context).nextFocus();
} else if (event.isKeyPressed(LogicalKeyboardKey.arrowUp)) {
FocusScope.of(context).previousFocus();
}
},
Original answer (you should still read to understand the complete answer).
First of all, your adding RawKeyboardListener() within your appBar() don't do that, instead add it to the Scaffold().
Now, create a FocusNode() outside of your Build method:
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
MyHomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
final _focusNode = FocusNode();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {}
...
...
And assing the _focusNode to the RawKeyboardListener():
RawKeyboardListener(focusNode: _focusNode,
...
And here's the key point. Since you don't want to lose focus in the ListView(), in the onTap of your inkWell you'll have to request focus again:
InkWell(
focusColor: Colors.blue,
onTap: () {
_focusNode.requestFocus();
print('clicked item $index');
},
...
That's it.
Here is a complete working example based on your code. (I needed to modify some things, since I don't have all your data):
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class SomeIntent extends Intent {}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.orange,
),
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
MyHomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
final _focusNode = FocusNode();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final myItemModelList = List.generate(10, (index) => Text('${index + 1}'));
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(),
body: myItemModelList.isEmpty
? const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator())
: RawKeyboardListener(
focusNode: _focusNode,
onKey: (event) {
if (event.logicalKey.keyLabel == 'Arrow Down') {
FocusScope.of(context).nextFocus();
}
},
child: ListView.builder(
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
final item = myItemModelList[index];
return Shortcuts(
shortcuts: {
LogicalKeySet(LogicalKeyboardKey.enter): SomeIntent(),
},
child: Actions(
actions: {
SomeIntent: CallbackAction<SomeIntent>(
// this will not launch if I manually focus on the item and press enter
onInvoke: (intent) => print(
'SomeIntent action was launched for item ${item}'),
)
},
child: InkWell(
focusColor: Colors.blue,
onTap: () {
_focusNode.requestFocus();
print('clicked item $index');
},

padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),

I am not able to make RadioListTile works. It isn't selected and unselected on click
Can you help me?
Here is me code
edit
...
final ownedController =TextEditingController();
...
RadioListTile<
String>(
value:'not owned',
groupValue:ownedController.text,
toggleable:true,
title: const Text('Owned'),
onChanged:(String) {
cubit.changeOwned(ownedController.text);
}),
...
cubit
...
bool isOwned = false;
String changeOwned(String owned) {
isOwned = !isOwned;
if (isOwned == true) {
owned = 'owned';
} else {
owned = 'not owned';
}
return owned;
}
...
Here is an example based on the enum it is more flexible and easier to add more objects in the future. Enum values can also be converted to the string and represented your user interface in a readable form.
Just copy and paste into DartPad to play with it:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const App());
}
class App extends StatelessWidget {
const App({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return BlocProvider(
create: (_) => SomeCubit(),
child: const MaterialApp(
home: SomeView(),
),
);
}
}
class SomeView extends StatelessWidget {
const SomeView({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('My App')),
body: BlocBuilder<SomeCubit, SomeStatus>(
builder: (context, state) {
return Column(
children: [
for (var value in SomeStatus.values)
RadioListTile<String>(
title: Text(value.titleByIndex), // <- Title by extension.
value: value.name,
groupValue: state.name,
toggleable: true,
selected: value.name.contains(state.name),
onChanged: context.read<SomeCubit>().onChanged,
),
],
);
},
),
);
}
}
enum SomeStatus { owned, notOwned }
class SomeCubit extends Cubit<SomeStatus> {
SomeCubit() : super(SomeStatus.notOwned);
void onChanged(String? name) {
emit(SomeStatus.values.byName(name ?? state.name));
}
}
extension SomeStatusEx on SomeStatus {
// A useful function for converting value names to UI view.
// List ordering must contain enum values.
String get titleByIndex => ['Owned', 'Not Owned'].elementAt(index);
}
With Dart 2.17 and above:
// Dart 2.17 can convert enum value to any value
// and you do not need to create an extension to put a nicer value name to the view.
enum SomeStatus {
owned('Owned'),
notOwned('Not Owned');
const SomeStatus(this.label);
// View in the user interface "title: Text(value.label)"
final String label;
}
you can avoid using cubit to switch state.
...
final ownedController = TextEditingController();
bool isOwned = false;
String get ownedString => isOwned ? 'owned' : 'not owned';
...
RadioListTile<String>(
value: ownedString,
groupValue: 'owned',
toggleable: true,
title: Text(ownedString),
onChanged: (x) {
setState(() {
isOwned = !isOwned;
ownedController.text = ownedString;
});
},
),
...
you have to fix the toggleGroupe to 'owned' otherwise you'll have wrong display.
I've a dropdown on my screen, which I want to close every time the user minimises the app (Pause State). I looked into the DropDownButton widget, and it seems it uses Navigator.push() method, so ideally it should be dismissed with Navigator.pop(), if I'm not wrong.
Here is what I've tried already -
Use global key to get the context of dropdown widget and implement Navigator.pop(key.currentContext) inside didChangeAppLifecycleState() function.
Use focusNode to implement .unfocus() to remove the focus from the dropdown.
Maintain a isDropdownDialogOpen boolean which I set to true on onTap() and false on onChange(). And then simple pop() if its true on app minimisation. But this approach fails when the user opens the dropdown and then closes it by tapping outside the dropdown dialog. I can't set the boolean to false in that case.
My requirement is that - I've to dismiss the dropdown whenever the user minimises the app, if it was open in the first place.
I've gone through bunch of SO questions and GitHub comments, that are even remotely similar, but couldn't find anything helpful.
Loose Code -
class Auth extends State<Authentication> with WidgetsBindingObserver {
bool isDropdownOpen = false;
GlobalKey _dropdownKey = GlobalKey();
FocusNode _focusNode;
#override
void initState() {
WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(this);
super.initState();
}
#override
void dispose() {
WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);
super.dispose();
}
// To pop the open dropdown dialog whenever app is minimised (and opened back on again)
#override
void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) {

How does it work?
We keep track of the current app state using the didChangeAppLifecycleState method.
Whenever the dropdown is shown the isDropdownMenuShown variable is set to true.
Whenever the dropdown is closed/exited the variable is set to false.
We add a post frame callback (it is called after each rebuild) and we check if the app went into background and if the dropdown is shown. If yes, the dropdown is closed.
You could use FocusManager.instance.primaryFocus?.unfocus();
