Refresh listView from PopUntil - flutter

Question

Just wonder if I use this code to return PageA from PageD, which function will it get called in PageA?
PageD
Navigator.of(context).popUntil(ModalRoute.withName(PageA.ROUTE));
I would like to make the listView on PageA refreshed once it is back from PageD, but I don't know how to achieve it.
I added a then in PageA, but it is not printing anything.
Navigator.pushNamed(context, PageB.ROUTE).then((onValue) {
print("call from Page4");
_refreshListView();
});
Edit
My project flow is Page A > Page B > Page C > Page D > page A.

All you need to do is return data when you pop PageD and await the data when you push.
This code should help:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
initialRoute: '/',
routes: {
'/' : (context) => PageA(),
'/go': (context) => PageD()
},
);
}
}
class PageA extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Page A"),
),
body: Center(
child: ListView(
children: <Widget>[
],
),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () {
_navigateAndDisplaySelection(context);
},
child: Icon(Icons.forward),
),
);
}
_navigateAndDisplaySelection(BuildContext context) async {
final result = await Navigator.pushNamed(
context,
'/go'
);
if(result){
print(result);
//call the refresh ListView here
_refreshListView();
}
}
}
class PageD extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Page D"),
leading: IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back, color: Colors.white,),
onPressed: (){
Navigator.pop(context, true);
},
)
),
body: Center(
child: Text("Press back!!"),
),
);
}
}
As to what you explained in the comments... you have to pass arguments from Page D to A when navigating.
Hope this helps.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
initialRoute: '/',
routes: {
'/': (context) => PageA(),
'/b': (context) => PageB(),
'/c': (context) => PageC(),
'/d': (context) => PageD()
},
);
}
}
class PageA extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final bool shouldRefresh = ModalRoute.of(context).settings.arguments;
if (shouldRefresh != null) {
print(shouldRefresh);
//call the refresh ListView here
_refreshListView();
}
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Page A"),
),
body: Center(
child: ListView(
children: <Widget>[],
),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/b');
},
child: Icon(Icons.forward),
),
);
}
}
class PageB extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Page B"),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
child: Icon(Icons.forward),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/c');
},
),
);
}
}
class PageC extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Page C"),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
child: Icon(Icons.forward),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/d');
},
),
);
}
}
class PageD extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Page D"),
leading: IconButton(
icon: Icon(
Icons.arrow_back,
color: Colors.white,
),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/', arguments: true);
},
)),
body: Center(
child: Text("Press back!!"),
),
);
}
}
If you want to go to Page D when you press back in Page A then use this
class PageA extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final bool shouldRefresh = ModalRoute.of(context).settings.arguments;
print(shouldRefresh);
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Page A"),
leading: IconButton(
icon: Icon(
Icons.arrow_back,
color: Colors.white,
),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pushNamed(
context,
'/d',
arguments: true
);
},
),
),
body: Center(
child: ListView(
children: <Widget>[
],
),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/b');
},
child: Icon(Icons.forward),
),
);
}
}
