Recently implemented a tagForm widget at "+" button press, I want to delete those widgets now at "delete" button press, but right now, even when I press the "delete" button, nothing happens.
How can I solve this?
Any help appreciated!
code:

class TodoEdit extends StatefulWidget {
String? doctitle;

String? docimage;
String? docid;
List? doctags;
TodoEdit({Key? key, this.doctitle, this.doctdescription, this.docimage, this.docid,this.doctags}) : super(key: key);
#override

You can't remove anything from the list with objects from tagForm(controller), because these objects are newly created and therefore not the same as in the list (as long as the == operator is not overwritten)
If you still want to have the widgets in a list instead of just storing the controllers and without having to change much, you could remove the widgets like this:
onPressed: (){
setState(() {
controller.dispose();
textEditingControllers.remove(controller);
textformFields.removeWhere((w) => w.controller = controller));
});
},
and change the type of your List: var textformFields = <TextFormField>[]; and of the method TextFormField tagForm(controller).
In general, you can of course optimize the state management, but with this solution it should work for now.
Dont't store Widget, it is bad way. Insteads store there property, render by List then remove by index when you need.
ps: some code syntax can wrong, i write this on browser.
class _TodoEditState extends State<TodoEdit> {
...
var textformFields = <String>[];
...
void _addformWidget([String? initValue]) {
setState(() => textformFields.add(initValue ?? ""));
}
...
Widget tagForm(String value, void Function(String) onChange, void Function() onRemove){
var openEditor = () {
// Open dialog with text field to edit from [value] call onChange with
// new value
OpenDialog().then((newvalue) {
if(newvalue != null) onChange(newvalue);
}
};
var delete = () {
// Open confirm dialog then remove
OpenConfirmDialog("your message").then((continue) {
if(continue) onRemove();
});
};
return InkWell(
onTap: openEditor,
child: Text(value), // render your tag value
);
}
...
#override
void initState() {
...
textformFields = List.filled(widget.doctags ?? 0, ""); // or List.generate/map if you want replace by own value.
}
...
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
...
ListView.builder(
itemCount: textformFields.length,
itemBuilder: (context,index) => tagForm(
textformFields[index],
(newvalue) => setState(() => textformFields[index] = newvalue),
() => setState(() => textformFields = textformFields..removeAt(index));,
),
),
...

I am getting error like this.
The getter 'title' isn't defined for the type 'TextTheme'.
Try importing the library that defines 'title', correcting the name to the name of an existing getter, or defining a getter or field named 'title'.
The body might complete normally, causing 'null' to be returned, but the return type is a potentially non-nullable type.
Try adding either a return or a throw statement at the end.
Please anyone can help me
Flutter changed the names for theme a while ago, fix the first error using this for example, or use titleMedium/titleBig.
TextStyle textStyle=Theme.of(context).textTheme.titleSmall
Fix the 2. error by adding a default value to your last function. Null-Safety forces you to return something non-null from your function, so either make the function nullable, or change the bahaviour to this:
getPriorityAsString(int value) {
String priority = "";
switch (value) {
case 1:
priority = "";
break;
case 2:
priority = "";
break;
}
return priority;
}
I'm trying to create a dynamic form so I used the idea of using a listview builder to create it. I was able to successfully create it but I faced that I cannot discard changes made to the form by popping it off after editing it. The two textFormField Job name and rate per hour were able to discard changes as they were using onsaved but on the checkbox I can't do that as it has onChanged which wraps setstate to change its state.
You can take a look at the video at this link to see how it functions as of now - https://vimeo.com/523847256
As you can see that it is retaining the data even after popping the page and coming back which I don't want it to. I'm looking for a way to prevent that and make the form the same as before if the user didn't press save.
I have tried to reassign the variables() in onpressed of back button but that didn't work. I also tried push replacement to the same page to reset it but that also didn't work. I think the cuprit here is the sublist and the initialValueTextFormField and initialValueCheckbox which are used declared under ListView.builder but I don't know how to fix that without affecting the dynamic list functionality.

And this is the link to the full repository of the whole flutter app in case you want to look at any other part:- https://github.com/brightseagit/dynamic_forms . Thank you.
Note - This is the edited code of this repo - https://github.com/bizz84/starter_architecture_flutter_firebase.
When assigning the list we need to use _subList = List.from(widget.job.subList) instead of _subList = widget.job.subList.
Otherwise, the changes made in _subList will also be made in job.subList .
i want to change the indexvalue (pictogramindex) of one page when we click nextbutton on another screen.I will explain briefly , I have 2 screens in my scenario the first screen contains an image and it's name , a textfield and nextbutton (i have provided a dummy data contains a list of image and it's names) the logic behind this is , when we complete the textfield box and click next button(after validate) the textfield value checks with the correctvalue which i was given in the dummy data and show it's synonym which also provided. when we click the next button we will go to another page which contains the correct answer(passed from first page) and a textfield in this the user can write about the correct answer ( validated) when click next button in this page (till this my applicationworks perfectly) i want to load the first page with it's index updated (+1) which i initialised as 0 (var pictogramindex=0). But in my case when coming back to first page the index is not updating it will automatically stores the initialised value. what i want is i want to update index on the first page when i click next button in the Second page .
my source code of first screen is shown here

If I get it right, you basically want to tell the initial page that it's state is updated(the index) elsewhere. You basically need to make your app "reactive".
As is said in Google Developers Tutorial:
One of the advantages of Flutter is that it uses reactive views, which you can take to the next level by also applying reactive principles to your app’s data model.
Use some sort of state management. You need to choose from and use either Bloc, InheritedWidget and InheritedModel, Provider(ScopedModel), or the like.
Check this article on flutter about state management, or this for a complete list of approaches
I have a Dialog class in which I want to show different designations that could be assigned to an employee.
In the beginning, I tried to use only a RaisedButton to select the desired designations. Within the App, the Button should change Colors. This part is found within a StatefulWidget.
I also tried a modified version, where I created a new StatefulWidget only for the Dialog part but this part did not have any effect, thus I thought to implement a SwitchListTile to do the same thing.
The SwitchListTile gets activated and deactivated although only the true value gets registered. This means that when I deactivate (swipe to left) the code does not go within the following setState:
setState(() { hEnabled[hDesignations[index].designation] = value; });
Also when the hEnabled Map gets changed within the setState method the following code does not re-run to change the color of the container:
color: hEnabled[hDesignations[index].designation] ? Colors.green : Colors.grey,
Part with the Dialog:
Widget buildChooseDesignations(
BuildContext context, List<Designation> hDesignations) {
return Dialog(
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadiusDirectional.circular(8.0),
),
child: _buildDialogChild(context, hDesignations),
);
}
_buildDialogChild(BuildContext context, List<Designation> hDesignations) {
//todo: when editing an employee I need the chosen designations (have to pass a list)
Map<String, bool> hEnabled = new Map<String, bool>();
for (var i = 0; i < hDesignations.length; i++) {
hEnabled[hDesignations[i].designation] = false;
}
return Container(
height: 200.0,
//todo: width not working properly
width: 50,
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: hDesignations.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return Row(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: Container(
width: 10,
color: hEnabled[hDesignations[index].designation]
? Colors.green
: Colors.grey,
padding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 80),
child: Text(hDesignations[index].designation,
style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),),
),
),
Expanded(
child: SwitchListTile(
value: hEnabled[hDesignations[index].designation],
onChanged: (bool value) {
setState(() {
hEnabled[hDesignations[index].designation] =
value;
});
}),
)
],
);
}),
),
SizedBox(
height: 15.0,
),
RaisedButton(
color: Colors.blueGrey,
child: Text(
'set',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
),
onPressed: () {
//todo: save the 'newly' selected designations in a list on set click
},
)
],
),
);
}
The Dialog is called when I click on the Add + FlatButton and looks like this:
ButtonTheme(
height: 30.0,
// child: Container(),
child: FlatButton(
materialTapTargetSize: MaterialTapTargetSize.shrinkWrap,
color: Colors.blueGrey.shade200,
onPressed: () {
//todo add Dialog
// List<Designation> hList = state.designations;
showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (context) => buildChooseDesignations(
context, state.designations));
// DesignationDialog(
// designations:state.designations));
},
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8.0)),
child: Text(
'Add +',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
),
),
),
Found the problem :)
First I did re-write everything into a new StatefulWidget. This I needed since I want that my widget gets re-build after I click on the SwitchListTile to re-color my Container.
Then I had to move my hEnabled (re-named hChecked) map outside the state. The reason was that the widget would re-build all the everything including the initialization of this map, making the user's input useless.
The same applies to the RaisedButton Widget.
Here is my code:
class DesignationDialog extends StatefulWidget {
final List<Designation> designations;
final Map<String, bool> hChecked;
DesignationDialog({Key key, this.designations, this.hChecked}) : super(key: key);
#override
_DesignationDialogState createState() => _DesignationDialogState();
}
class _DesignationDialogState extends State<DesignationDialog> {
_buildDialogChild(BuildContext context, List<Designation> hDesignations) {
//todo: when editing an employee I need the chosen designations (have to pass a list)
// for (var i = 0; i < hDesignations.length; i++) {
// hChecked[hDesignations[i].designation] = false;
// }
return Container(
height: 200.0,
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: hDesignations.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
// return ButtonTheme(
// //todo: fix the width of the buttons is not working
// minWidth: 20,
// child: RaisedButton(
// color: widget.hChecked[hDesignations[index].designation]
// ? Colors.green
// : Colors.grey,
// child: Text(hDesignations[index].designation),
// onPressed: () {
// //todo mark designation and add to an array
// setState(() {
// widget.hChecked[hDesignations[index].designation] =
// !widget
// .hChecked[hDesignations[index].designation];
// });
// },
// ),
// );
// -- With Switch
return Row(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: Container(
child: Text(hDesignations[index].designation),
width: 10,
color: widget.hChecked[hDesignations[index].designation]
? Colors.green
: Colors.grey,
)),
Expanded(
child: SwitchListTile(
value: widget.hChecked[hDesignations[index].designation],
onChanged: (bool value) {
setState(() {
widget.hChecked[hDesignations[index].designation] =
value;
});
}),
)
],
);
// -- end
}),
),
SizedBox(
height: 15.0,
),
RaisedButton(
color: Colors.blueGrey,
child: Text(
'set',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
),
onPressed: () {
//todo: save the 'newly' selected designations in a list on set click
},
)
],
),
);
}
