Why is my bottom navigation bar becoming blank upon push? - flutter

Question

When i invoke the loadingDelete method upon deleting a post where the Navigator.push.. takes place, i am directed to the Profile page but with my bottom navigation bar empty (appearing empty where icons(content) are blank).
I keep on encountering this problem when i either upload or delete a post..I tried replacing scaffold with MaterialApp but did't work...
This is where my loadingDelete method resides:
class PostStateless extends StatelessWidget {
final Post post2;
PostStateless(this.post2);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
print("REACHED HERE BEG "+post2.toString());
return new Scaffold(
resizeToAvoidBottomInset: false,
body:PostPage(post2),
);
}
}
class PostPage extends StatefulWidget {
final Post post2;
PostPage(this.post2);
#override
PostPageState createState() => new PostPageState(post2);
}
class PostPageState extends State<PostPage> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
...
..
loadingDelete()
{
if(!loadingDeletePost)
return Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
image: DecorationImage(
image: AssetImage("lib/assets/BackToEarth.jpg"),
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
child: Center(
child: Row(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min, //centered things bil nos
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
CircularProgressIndicator(
valueColor: new AlwaysStoppedAnimation<Color>(Colors.black),
)
]),
/* add child content here */
));
else {
Navigator.of(context).pushAndRemoveUntil(MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) =>
Profile()), (Route<dynamic> route) => false);
//Navigator.push alone redirects me to the profile page with blank nav bar plus arrow back
visible in my app bar(Worse).
}
}
....
}
This is my Profile page structure:
class Profile extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: ProfilePage(),
);
}
}
class ProfilePage extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_ProfilePageState createState() => new _ProfilePageState();
}
class _ProfilePageState extends State<ProfilePage> {
...
...
}
This is the structure of my global bottom nav bar which resides in my mainn dart file under MaterialApp Widget:
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
title: 'Instagram',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
ManageUserModel user;
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
ApiService apiService = ApiService();
List<Widget> pages = [
HomePage(),
SearchPage(),
Post(),
NotificationsPage(),
ProfilePage()
];
saveVariable(ManageUserModel user) async {
// save variable
SharedPreferences sharedUser = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
String userSt=toJson(user);
print("USERST: "+userSt);
sharedUser.setString('user', userSt);
}
#override
void initState() {
apiService.getUsers("beeso").then((result) {
setState(() {
user = result;
print("USERRRR" +user.toString());
saveVariable(user);
});
});
super.initState();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return DefaultTabController(
length: 5,
initialIndex: 0,
child: Scaffold(
body: TabBarView(
children: pages,
),
bottomNavigationBar:
Container(
margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20),
child: new TabBar(
tabs: [
Tab(
icon: Icon(Icons.home),
),
Tab(
icon: Icon(Icons.search),
),
Tab(
icon: Icon(Icons.add),
),
Tab(
icon: Icon(Icons.favorite),
),
Tab(
icon: Icon(Icons.perm_identity),
),
],
unselectedLabelColor: Colors.black,
labelColor: Colors.blue,
indicatorColor: Colors.transparent,
),
),
),
);
}
}
Any help is appreciated!!

Change the navigation to the following code:
Navigator.of(context).popUntil((route) => route.isFirst);
