I have a method in state class, but I need to access that method in outside using its widget class reference,
class TestFormState extends StatefulWidget {
#override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
return _testState();
}
}
class _testFormState extends State<TestFormState> {
int count = 1;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: Container(
color: Colors.green,
child: Text("Count : $count"),
),
);
}
clickIncrease(){
setState(() { count += 1; });
}
}
and I need to access the above widget`s clickIncrease in another widget, like below code,
class TutorialHome extends StatelessWidget {
TestFormState test;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// Scaffold is a layout for the major Material Components.
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: <Widget>[
test = TestFormState(),
FlatButton(
child: Text("Increase"),
onPressed: (){
test.state.clickIncrease(); // This kind of thing I need to do
},
),
]
),
);
}
I wrote above code just for demostrate the issue.
I have a trick, but I don't know if it is a bad practice or not.
class TestFormState extends StatefulWidget {
_TestFormState _testFormState;
#override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
_testFormState = _TestFormState();
return _testFormState;
}
}
class _TestFormState extends State<TestFormState> {
int count = 1;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: Container(
color: Colors.green,
child: Text("Count : $count"),
),
);
}
clickIncrease(){
setState(() { count += 1; });
}
}
Now, you can access it here :
class TutorialHome extends StatelessWidget {
TestFormState test;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// Scaffold is a layout for the major Material Components.
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: <Widget>[
TextButton(
child: Text("Increase"),
onPressed: () {
test._testFormState
.clickIncrease(); // This is accessable
},
),
]
),
);
}
}
I suggest taking a look at ValueNotifier
I think there is a better way to manage your app state in an easy way and I agree that using provider could be effective.
Provide the model to all widgets within the app. We're using
ChangeNotifierProvider because that's a simple way to rebuild
widgets when a model changes. We could also just use Provider, but
then we would have to listen to Counter ourselves.
Read Provider's docs to learn about all the available providers.
Initialize the model in the builder. That way, Provider can own
Counter's lifecycle, making sure to call dispose when not needed
anymore.
void main() {
runApp(
ChangeNotifierProvider(
create: (context) => Counter(),
child: MyApp(),
),
);
}
Simplest possible model, with just one field. ChangeNotifier is a
class in flutter:foundation. Counter does not depend on Provider.
class Counter with ChangeNotifier {
int count = 1;
void clickIncrease() {
count += 1;
notifyListeners();
}
}
Consumer looks for an ancestor Provider widget and retrieves its
model (Counter, in this case). Then it uses that model to build
widgets, and will trigger rebuilds if the model is updated.
You can access your providers anywhere you have access to the context.
One way is to use Provider<Counter>.of(context).
The provider package also defines extension methods on context itself.
You can call context.watch<Counter>() in a build method of any
widget to access the current state of Counter, and to ask Flutter to
rebuild your widget anytime Counter changes.
You can't use context.watch() outside build methods, because that
often leads to subtle bugs. Instead, you should use
context.read<Counter>(), which gets the current state but doesn't
ask Flutter for future rebuilds.
Since we're in a callback that will be called whenever the user taps
the FloatingActionButton, we are not in the build method here. We
should use context.read().
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// Scaffold is a layout for the major Material Components.
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Flutter Demo Home Page'),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Text('Count:'),
Consumer<Counter>(
builder: (context, counter, child) => Text(
'${counter.value}',
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
),
),
],
),
),
// I've change the button to `FloatingActionButton` for better ui experience.
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
// Here is the implementation that you are looking for.
onPressed: () {
var counter = context.read<Counter>();
counter.increment();
},
tooltip: 'Increment',
child: Icon(Icons.add),
),
);
}
}
Complete code:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
void main() {
runApp(
ChangeNotifierProvider(
create: (context) => Counter(),
child: MyApp(),
),
);
}
class Counter with ChangeNotifier {
int count = 1;
void clickIncrease() {
count += 1;
notifyListeners();
}
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,

home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(

Text('Count:'),

There is a built in method findAncestorStateOfType to find Ancestor _MyAppState class of the Parent MyApp class.
Here is the Code
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
static void setLocale(BuildContext context, Locale locale) {
_MyAppState? state = context.findAncestorStateOfType<_MyAppState>();
state!.setLocale(locale);
}
#override
_MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}
// ignore: use_key_in_widget_constructors
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
// const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key)
late Locale _locale;
void setLocale(Locale value) {
setState(() {
_locale = value;
});
}
}
class TestForm extends StatelessWidget {
final int _count;
TestForm(int count) : _count = count;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: Container(
color: Colors.green,
child: Text('Count : $_count'),
),
);
}
}
class TutorialHome extends StatefulWidget {
#override

#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Column(

I'm trying to start a new screen within an onTap but I get the following error:
Navigator operation requested with a context that does not include a
Navigator.
The code I am using to navigate is:
onTap: () { Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('/settings'); },
I have set up a route in my app as follows:
routes: <String, WidgetBuilder>{
'/settings': (BuildContext context) => new SettingsPage(),
},
I've tried to copy the code using the stocks sample application. I've looked at the Navigator and Route documentation and can't figure out how the context can be made to include a Navigator. The context being used in the onTap is referenced from the parameter passed into the build method:
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
SettingsPage is a class as follows:
class SettingsPage extends Navigator {
Widget buildAppBar(BuildContext context) {
return new AppBar(
title: const Text('Settings')
);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: buildAppBar(context),
);
}
}
TLDR: Wrap the widget which needs to access to Navigator into a Builder or extract that sub-tree into a class. And use the new BuildContext to access Navigator.
This error is unrelated to the destination. It happens because you used a context that doesn't contain a Navigator instance as parent.
How do I create a Navigator instance then ?
This is usually done by inserting in your widget tree a MaterialApp or WidgetsApp. Although you can do it manually by using Navigator directly but less recommended. Then, all children of such widget can access NavigatorState using Navigator.of(context).
Wait, I already have a MaterialApp/WidgetsApp !
That's most likely the case. But this error can still happens when you use a context that is a parent of MaterialApp/WidgetsApp.
This happens because when you do Navigator.of(context), it will start from the widget associated to the context used. And then go upward in the widget tree until it either find a Navigator or there's no more widget.
In the first case, everything is fine. In the second, it throws a
Navigator operation requested with a context that does not include a Navigator.
So, how do I fix it ?
First, let's reproduce this error :
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Center(
child: RaisedButton(
child: Text("Foo"),
onPressed: () => Navigator.pushNamed(context, "/"),
),
),
);
}
}
This example creates a button that attempts to go to '/' on click but will instead throw an exception.
Notice here that in the
onPressed: () => Navigator.pushNamed(context, "/"),
we used context passed by to build of MyApp.
The problem is, MyApp is actually a parent of MaterialApp. As it's the widget who instantiate MaterialApp! Therefore MyApp's BuildContext doesn't have a MaterialApp as parent!
To solve this problem, we need to use a different context.
In this situation, the easiest solution is to introduce a new widget as child of MaterialApp. And then use that widget's context to do the Navigator call.
There are a few ways to achieve this. You can extract home into a custom class :
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: MyHome()
);
}
}
class MyHome extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: RaisedButton(
child: Text("Foo"),
onPressed: () => Navigator.pushNamed(context, "/"),
),
);
}
}
Or you can use Builder :
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Builder(
builder: (context) => Center(
child: RaisedButton(
child: Text("Foo"),
onPressed: () => Navigator.pushNamed(context, "/"),
),
),
),
);
}
}
Hy guys, i have the same problem. This is occur for me. The solution what i found is very simple. Only what i did is in a simple code:
void main() {
runApp(MaterialApp(
home: YOURAPP() ,
),
);
}
I hope was useful.
Make sure your current parent widget not with same level with MaterialApp
Wrong Way
class HomeScreen extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
centerTitle: true,
title: Text('Title'),
),
body: Center(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 8.0, horizontal: 16.0),
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
//wrong way: use context in same level tree with MaterialApp
Navigator.push(context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ScanScreen()));
},
child: const Text('SCAN')),
)),
),
);
}
}
Right way
void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(
title: "App",
home: HomeScreen(),
));
class HomeScreen extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
centerTitle: true,
title: Text('Title'),
),
body: Center(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 8.0, horizontal: 16.0),
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
//right way: use context in below level tree with MaterialApp
Navigator.push(context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ScanScreen()));
},
child: const Text('SCAN')),
)),
);
}
}
Just like with a Scaffold you can use a GlobalKey. It doesn't need context.
final _navKey = GlobalKey<NavigatorState>();
void _navigateToLogin() {
_navKey.currentState.popUntil((r) => r.isFirst);
_navKey.currentState.pushReplacementNamed(LoginRoute.name);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
navigatorKey: _navKey,
...
);
}
I set up this simple example for routing in a flutter app:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(new MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
home: new MyHomePage(),
routes: <String, WidgetBuilder>{
'/settings': (BuildContext context) => new SettingsPage(),
},
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text('TestProject'),
),
body: new Center(
child: new FlatButton(
child: const Text('Go to Settings'),
onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('/settings')
)
)
);
}
}
class SettingsPage extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text('SettingsPage'),
),
body: new Center(
child: new Text('Settings')
)
);
}
}
Note, that the SettingsPage extends StatelessWidget and not Navigator. I'm not able to reproduce your error.
Does this example help you in building your app? Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
You should rewrite your code in main.dart
FROM:
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
TO
void main() {
runApp(MaterialApp(
title: 'Your title',
home: MyApp(),));}
The point is to have the home property to be your first page
this worked for me, I hope it will help someone in the future
A complete and tested solution:
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:my-app/view/main-view.dart';
class SplashView extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: Builder(
builder: (context) => new _SplashContent(),
),
routes: <String, WidgetBuilder>{
'/main': (BuildContext context) => new MainView()}
);
}
}
class _SplashContent extends StatefulWidget{
#override
_SplashContentState createState() => new _SplashContentState();
}
class _SplashContentState extends State<_SplashContent>
with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
var _iconAnimationController;
var _iconAnimation;
startTimeout() async {
var duration = const Duration(seconds: 3);
return new Timer(duration, handleTimeout);
}
void handleTimeout() {
Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, "/main");
}
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_iconAnimationController = new AnimationController(
vsync: this, duration: new Duration(milliseconds: 2000));
_iconAnimation = new CurvedAnimation(
parent: _iconAnimationController, curve: Curves.easeIn);
_iconAnimation.addListener(() => this.setState(() {}));
_iconAnimationController.forward();
startTimeout();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Center(
child: new Image(
image: new AssetImage("images/logo.png"),
width: _iconAnimation.value * 100,
height: _iconAnimation.value * 100,
)
);
}
}
As per this comment If your navigator is inside Material context navigator push will give this error. if you create a new widget and assign it to the material app home navigator will work.
This won't work
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("Title"),
),
body: new Center(child: new Text("Click Me")),
floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
child: new Icon(Icons.add),
backgroundColor: Colors.orange,
onPressed: () {
print("Clicked");
Navigator.push(
context,
new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new AddTaskScreen()),
);
},
),
),
);
}
}
This will work
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: new HomeScreen());
}
}
class HomeScreen extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("Title"),
),
body: new Center(child: new Text("Click Me")),
floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
child: new Icon(Icons.add),
backgroundColor: Colors.orange,
onPressed: () {
print("Clicked");
Navigator.push(
context,
new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new AddTaskScreen()),
);
},
),
);
}
}
I was facing the same problem and solved by removing home from MaterialApp and use initialRoute instead.
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
initialRoute: '/',
routes: {
'/': (context) => MyApp(),
'/settings': (context) => SettingsPage(),
},
);
And
onTap: () => {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, "/settings")
},
It is Simple
instead using this normal code
`runApp(BasicBankingSystem());`
wrap it with MaterialApp
runApp(MaterialApp(home: BasicBankingSystem()));
It happens because the context on the widget that tries to navigate is still using the material widget.
The short answer for the solution is to :
extract your widget
that has navigation to new class so it has a different context when calling the navigation
When your screen is not navigated from other screen,you don't initially have access to the navigator,Because it is not instantiated yet.So in that case wrap your widget with builder and extract context from there.This worked for me.
builder: (context) => Center(
child: RaisedButton(
child: Text("Foo"),
onPressed: () => Navigator.pushNamed(context, "/"),
),
You ca use this plugin
https://pub.dev/packages/get/versions/2.0.2
in The MaterialApp assign property navigatorKey: Get.key,
MaterialApp(
navigatorKey: Get.key,
initialRoute: "/",
);
you can access Get.toNamed("Your route name");
Change your main function example:
void main() {
runApp(
MaterialApp(
title: 'Your title',
home: MyApp(),
)
);
}
use this
void main() {
runApp(MaterialApp(debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, home: MyApp()),);
}
instead of this
void main() {runApp(MyApp());}
Wrap with materialapp
reproduce code
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
// reproduce code
runApp(MyApp());
// working switch //
// runApp(
//
// MaterialApp(debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, home: MyApp()),);

Here, all you need is to make MaterialApp the parent of your Build. This is because the context that you've used to navigate to a different screen is finding a MaterialApp or a WidgetApp as a parent of the build.
And Since in your case, the situation is the opposite, therefore you need to modify it by either calling a new Stateless widget the parent of is the MaterialApp or by simply using a Builder as home: Builder in MaterialApp.
Hope this would help!
