I have been working with flutter just a while now but I have never experienced such a weird problem. basically I'm checking if there is a logged on username show them the main page and if not show them the signup page. after the user signs up (and logs in at the same time) I want to take him to my main page. even though I return a new Scaffold the mobile screen doesn't change at all. not with a hot load or anything. but after stopping the program and running it again (because the user is logged in) it automatically goes to my main page (which I want to do without having to stop the program and running it again. any ideas why this is happening couldn't find anything related to this.

Just in case I will add the PagesData Code but I don't think it is related to that.

That is not the way you navigate to a new page in Flutter.
In Flutter, the way to navigate between pages is with Navigator, which is a widget that manages a set of child widgets with a stack discipline. That is, Navigator has everything ready for you to navigate between pages easily. When you create an app with MaterialApp, Flutter attaches a Navigator to the top of the widget tree for you under the hood. This way, you can access the Navigator in your widget tree via context, by calling Navigator.of(context).
In your case, when the user taps the sign up button in your sign up page, you should do something like:
Navigator.of(context).pushReplacement(MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => PageData()));
This way, your app will navigate to PageData when the user signs in.
Check out this Flutter.dev article on navigating pages for more details on the topic.
You have to call SetState() so your build method is called again.
You could add a VoidListener to your SignIn(onLogin:(){setState(() {});})

I have several TextFormField on a screen. If I tap one of the fields the keyboard opens as expected however if I then select a new screen from the Drawer menu the keyboard closes and as soon as the new screen finishes loading the keyboard automatically opens again. More than that if I type something the text field is updated in the background if I return to the screen with the TextFormField it shows the correct input.
I would expect the screen/widget to be disposed of when navigating to another screen(widget) from the navigation menu, and I definitely should not be able to update the content of a widget's text field while in another widget.

Use TextEditingController for every TextFormField to solve this problem.
A controller for an editable text field.
First Whenever the user modifies a text field with an associated TextEditingController, the text field updates value and the controller notifies its listeners. Listeners can then read the text and selection properties to learn what the user has typed or how the selection has been updated.
Second, remember to dispose of the TextEditingController inside dispose() when it is no longer needed. This will ensure we discard any resources used by the object.
To close keyboard from screen
you can use GesterDetector widget.
FocusManager.instance.primaryFocus?.unfocus();
or use can below for hot fix
FocusScope.of(context).unfocus();
Example is given below
class MyStatefulWidget extends StatefulWidget {
const MyStatefulWidget({super.key});
#override
State<MyStatefulWidget> createState() => _MyStatefulWidgetState();
}
class _MyStatefulWidgetState extends State<MyStatefulWidget> {
final TextEditingController _controller = TextEditingController();
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_controller.addListener(() {
final String text = _controller.text.toLowerCase();
_controller.value = _controller.value.copyWith(
text: text,
selection:
TextSelection(baseOffset: text.length, extentOffset: text.length),
composing: TextRange.empty,
);
});
}
#override
void dispose() {
_controller.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Container(
alignment: Alignment.center,
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(6),
child: TextFormField(
controller: _controller,
decoration: const InputDecoration(border: OutlineInputBorder()),
),
),
);
}
}
When you navigate to a new page, you are not really disposing of the previous page. The new page is simply added on top of the previous page. You could try wrapping the entire scaffold in a GestureDetector with the following onTap function:
FocusScope.of(context).unfocus();
This will make sure the keyboard is dismissed when you push a new page with user taps.
I have a TabBarView with two tabs in main widget. First tab includes gridview with cards. Cards use parent widget (MyHomePage) as listener to listen in-card button clicks.
When i click on button in some card, listener impl. must open second Tab and pass selected Excursion to it. But when I do it, at first iteration, ExcursionEditor(currentExcursion) says, that argument is null, but parent build says, that it is not. If I resize my browser, it calls global rebuild and currentExcursion reach last build value.
So, i cant understand, why MyHomePage build doesn't affect on TabBarView content with arguments passed by constructor

Log of first launch and card click build sequence:
HOME PAGE BUILD currentExcursion = null
HOME PAGE BUILD currentExcursion = {id: 1}
INIT EDITOR widget.excrusion = null
BUILD EDITOR excursion = null
After browser window resize
HOME PAGE BUILD currentExcursion = {id: 1}
BUILD EDITOR excursion = {id: 1}
BUILD EDITOR excursion = {id: 1}
HOME PAGE BUILD currentExcursion = {id: 1}
BUILD EDITOR excursion = {id: 1}
After screen resize problem still appear, just replacing null value in editor with old Excursion. New clicks on cards doesn't have effect, setState in callback still not update.
I've tried to bind it on static stream listeners, on TabController listener - it just look like TabBarView late for 1 build cycle of arguments update. Maybe there are some similar questions, but i've done all from thouse answers and got nothing
I am not really sure, but it seems like race condition between setState and _tabController.animateTo(1); because they both try to rebuild the child ExcursionEditor(currentExcursion)
If you print the excursion in ExcursionEditor constructor, you will see the updated value. But at the end the value not reach the build function.
The simple workaround is changing editExcursion to the async function and add a small delay between this 2 actions. Otherwise you can try to use other way to pass data between widgets (like provider)
#override
Future editExcursion(Excursion excursion) async {
setState(() {
currentExcursion = excursion;
});
await Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds:50));
tabController.animateTo(1);
}
I am into flutter to port my android app from java. One thing that is evident in flutter is widgets. Now my biggest obstacle to make my app work as it was on android is starting an async task to request data from the server. I have a custom progress dialog that can be shown or hidden.
class MySelection extends StatefulWidget {
#override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
return MySelectionState();
}
}
class MySelectionState extends State<MySelection> {
final globalKey = new GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
ProgressDialog progressDialog = ProgressDialog.getProgressDialog("Loading books ...");
List<Book> books;
void requestData() async {
EventObject eventObject = await getBooks();
books = eventObject.object;
populateData();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if (books == null) {
books = List<Book>();
requestData();
}
var appBar = AppBar();
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Set up your Collection'),
actions: <Widget>[
IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.refresh),
onPressed: () {
books = List<Book>();
requestData();
},
),
],
),
body: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Stack(
Container(
height: (MediaQuery.of(context).size.height - (appBar.preferredSize.height * 2)),
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10),
margin: EdgeInsets.only(top: 50.0),
child: ListView.builder(
physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(),
itemCount: books.length,
itemBuilder: bookListView,
),
),
Container(
height: (MediaQuery.of(context).size.height),
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10),
child: progressDialog,
),
],
),
),
}
}
Now, this code works well when I don't call the progress dialog unlike when I try to do that by calling my progressdialog widget.
if (books == null) {
progressDialog.showProgress();
books = List<Book>();
requestData();
}
It throws the error that
The method 'showProgress' was called on null. Receiver: null Tried
calling: showProgress()
Of course, the reason is that I am calling this before its widget is even created. Now my question is how can I do this because I can't afford to put a button for the user to click. I just want this to work on its own once the user is on this particular screen.
import 'package:flutter/scheduler.dart';
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
SchedulerBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((timeStamp) {
// add your code which you want to execute after your build is complete
});
}
Thanks.

List<Excercise> excercises;
}
excercise.dart
class Excercise {
int id;
Excercise(this.id,this.name, this.restBetweenSetsInSeconds);
String name;
int restBetweenSetsInSeconds;
}
How to reproduce the faulty behavior to get the exception:
Click on the bottom-right floating action button to create an excercise test stub which is added to the only existing workout.
Click the newly added excercise
The ExcerciseDetailsWidget is loaded
Click Save in the ExcerciseDetailsWidget
Navigation goes back to the Initial screen and the Exception hits you in the face bam!
Exception
FlutterError (setState() called after dispose(): _ExcerciseWidgetState#bccdb(lifecycle state: defunct, not mounted)
This error happens if you call setState() on a State object for a widget that no longer appears in the widget tree (e.g., whose parent widget no longer includes the widget in its build). This error can occur when code calls setState() from a timer or an animation callback.
The preferred solution is to cancel the timer or stop listening to the animation in the dispose() callback. Another solution is to check the "mounted" property of this object before calling setState() to ensure the object is still in the tree.
This error might indicate a memory leak if setState() is being called because another object is retaining a reference to this State object after it has been removed from the tree. To avoid memory leaks, consider breaking the reference to this object during dispose().)
Question
Why is the formerly added and clicked ExcerciseWidget`s State disposed when I returned from the ExcerciseDetailsWidget ?
Check for is mounted and then call setState is no solution because in any case the excercise should NOT be disposed because I have to update it with the new excercise name.
If you know a flutter online site where I can put the project I will do so please let me know!
I am a flutter beginner maybe I do something completely wrong bear that in mind :-)
UPDATE
What I have done to workaround the problem is:
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) =>
ExcerciseDetailsWidget(excercise: widget.excercise)));
do not await the result of the Navigator.
Instead I do this in the Screen2:
onPressed: () {
if (_formKey.currentState.validate()) {
// WHY can I set here the new text WITHOUT setState but when I navigated back the new excercise name is reflected in the list of excercises. Actually that should not be the case right? That confuses me totally.
widget.excercise.name =
excerciseNameTextController.value.text;
Navigator.pop(context);
}
},
but this is really just a workaround that works in this special EDIT use case.
When I have an ADD use case I need to return something to add it to the list of excercises...
Could it be that the problem is that I await the result inside the excercise?
I guess I will try to await the result excercise on the context/level of the ExercerciseListWidget not inside the ExcerciseWidget.
UPDATE 2
Reading more about the navigator it seems or could be that when I am navigating back to the former route which is my initial/root that all the knowledge about the clicked excercise is gone? Do I need therefore kind of nested routing? like "/workouts/id/excercises/id" ?
Despite the downvotes, this is a legitimate question. After poking around a little bit, the reason seems to be the ReorderableListView. For some reason, even if you are providing keys to each child of the list, when the ReorderableListView is rebuilt, all of its children are disposed and reinitialized. Because of this, when you navigate back from ExcerciseDetailsWidget, you are calling setState within a state that has been disposed - this is why you are getting that specific exception.
Frankly, your current code makes it very difficult to figure out whether it's something you've done wrong or a bug related to ReorderableListView. The only thing that can be said for sure is that replacing the ReorderableListView with a regular ListView will fix it.
I highly recommend cleaning up your code first - my IDE lit up like a Christmas tree when I copied your code in. Get rid of the new keyword. Use const constructors. Fix the Excercise typo that repeats itself 60 times in 250 rows of code.
And most importantly, given that you are mutating and displaying a data object across multiple stateful widgets, start using Provider for state management.
I have a ScreenA with 2 buttons. Button 1 pushes ScreenB(snapshot) and is received as ScreenB(this.snapshot). Button 2 pushes ScreenB(null). Depending on wether snapshot is null or not in ScreenB, different methods are triggered in ScreenB initState.
Now, If I first press Button 2, i.e. ScreenB(null), snapshot is indeed null in ScreenB. But If I press Button1, i.e. ScreenB(snapshot), then pop ScreenB, then press Button2, I would expect snapshot to be null in ScreenB, but it's not.
Am I missing something here? Appreciate some enlightment.
Test Code added as requested:
ScreenA:
import 'screen_b.dart';
import "package:flutter/material.dart";
import 'mock_data.dart';
List < MockData > snapshot = List < MockData > ();
class ScreenA extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
snapshot.add(MockData("1", "title", "description"));
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("ScreenA"),
centerTitle: true,
),
body: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(12.0),
child: ListView(
children: < Widget > [
Center(child: FlatButton(
child: Text("Goto ScreenB with null", style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0, color: Colors.blue)),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ScreenB(null)));
},
), ),
SizedBox(height: 20.0), Center(child: FlatButton(
child: Text("Goto ScreenB with data", style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0, color: Colors.blue)),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ScreenB(snapshot[0])));
},
), ),
],
),
), );
}
}
ScreenB:
import "package:flutter/material.dart";
import 'mock_data.dart';
bool editing = false;
class ScreenB extends StatefulWidget {
ScreenB(this._snapshot);
final MockData _snapshot;
#override
_ScreenBState createState() => _ScreenBState();
}
class _ScreenBState extends State < ScreenB > {
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
if (widget._snapshot != null) {
editing = true;
}
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("ScreenB"),
centerTitle: true,
),
body: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(30.0),
child: Center(child: Text("Is Editing: $editing ",
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0, color: Colors.red)),
),
), );
}
}
MockData Class:
class MockData {
String id;
String title;
String description;
MockData(this.id, this.title, this.description);
}
To test:
1. run ScreenA and tap button "Goto ScreenB with null". Text on ScreenB shows "Is Editing: false" as expected.
Hit back arrow on appBar to pop ScreenB, then tap "Goto ScreenB with data". Text on ScreenB shows "Is Editing: true" as expected.
Repeat 1 and now Text on ScreenB shows "Is Editing: true" as NOT expected.
Is the snaphot that you mentioned here of type AsyncSnapshot , if yes then the data snapshot is never null, the data field of snapshot is what is null
snapshot.data == null
Let me know if this helps.
Ended up doing:
#override
void dispose() {
editing = false;
super.dispose();
}
in ScreenB. Still puzzled though why the variable keeps the last value, even after the screen has been popped.
