Is there any method similar to this.finish() in android to finish current flutter activity.
Do you mean close current screen and come back to previous screen?
If that, Navigator.pop(context) should do the work. However, if you are at the entry screen (the first screen of the app and this screen has no parent screen/previous screen), Navigator.pop(context) will return you to a black screen. In this case, we have to use SystemNavigator.pop().
But don't use SystemNavigator.pop() for iOS, Apple says that the application should not exit itself :)
Below code will work on Android for both cases
if (Navigator.canPop(context)) {
Navigator.pop(context);
} else {
SystemNavigator.pop();
}
use Navigator.pushReplacement(BuildContext context, Route<T> newRoute) to open a new route which replace the current route of the navigator
use thie code
Navigator.pushReplacement(context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) {
return AddDemoUnitActivity();
}));

I pushed three screens: ScreenOne > ScreenTwo(1) > ScreenTwo(2)
I'm at the second instance of ScreenTwo now, but I want to remove the first instance of ScreenTwo from the stack, so it should be ScreenOne > ScreenTwo(2).
When launching ScreenTwo(2) I know I shouldn't remove ScreenTwo(1) from the stack yet, so I can't just call Navigator.replace(). I really need to have ScreenOne > ScreenTwo(1) > ScreenTwo(2) for some time, and then remove the first instance of ScreenTwo(1).
How I can handle it? Navigator.pop() and similars only take into account the screen or screens on top of the stack.
If someone needs more context, this is for a phone app. Not an app for phones, but an app that mimics the behavior of a phone. So in reality, we have HomeScreen > CallScreen(Caller1) > CallScreen(Caller2). As the app can handle different calls at a time the first approach has been to map every call to a CallScreen and let every screen handle their own call events, so the first call can finish while the user is talking in the second one.
As discussed in this post:
How can I pop to specific screen in flutter
I quote:
If you didn't define any route in the MaterialApp then you need to define at the time of push.
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) {
return SecondPage();
},
settings: RouteSettings(name: 'SecondPage',),
));
You need to define the same route name
Navigator.of(context).popUntil((route){
return route.settings.name == 'SecondPage';
})
;
Or as an alternative if you did define the routes you can use that:
pushNamedAndRemoveUntil(
'/BottomNavigation', (Route<dynamic> route) => false);
In this case it is most suitable that you go from screen1 > Screen2 > replace previous with Screen3
Use this navigation from screen 2 to screen 3.
Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context,"Third Screen");
I've been building an app that has a back arrow '<-' and cross 'X' in the app bar. Programmatically, I have included various commands, including Navigator.pop(context) and to clear global data stored with a GetX data controller, like so:
onPressed: () {
try {
/// Clear data, so the app is ready to use again
c.updateValue('');
/// Close Screen
Navigator.pop(context);
} catch (e) {
print(
'Error when closing the database input window.');
}
},
In this instance, clearing the value means simply replacing whatever string is stored with an empty string.
Now, this works perfectly when either the back arrow or cross in the app bar are pressed. However, I've noticed on a physical device that when I make use of the phone's back arrow/button, which is outside of the app, whilst it moves the screen, it does not clear any of the data, as per the first statement in my onPressed function above.
My question is, how do I get the same commands to take place when the user makes use of the phone's back button, compared to the app's programmed back button?
Thank you!
Wrap your Scaffold with WillPopScope and execute the same command on the onWillPop like this:
return WillPopScope(
onWillPop: () async{
try {
/// Clear data, so the app is ready to use again
c.updateValue('');
return true; // true allows navigating back
} catch (e) {
print(
'Error when closing the database input window.');
return false; // false prevents navigating back
}
},
child: Scaffold(....),
);
When I press the device back button, it navigate to the homepage but not to the previous page.
I would like to know how to navigate to the previous page using the the device back button.
Thank you
You might have used Navigator.pushReplacement which destroys the previous page and creates the new page.However if you use Navigator.push pressing the back button will navigate you to the previous screen.
Example:
Container(
child: Center(
child: TextButton(child: Text("Next page"),onPressed: (){
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => Page2(),)); // back button will navigate to previous screen
//Navigator.pushReplacement(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => Page2(),)); // back button will not navigate to previous page
},),),),
It was a Materialapp widget problem.
I solved the problem by deleting the Materialapp widget that was in one of the pages.
This occurs because the previous navigation was not saved in the route stack.
What you should do is this:
Widget A
Navigator.push(context, WidgetB());
Inside Widget B, press the device button and you will return to widget A.
It is important that in widget A you are not using replacement or another that removes widget A from the stack.
You can use:
Navigator.pop(context);
or
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/routeName');
I have updated my Sqlite Table in Screen B and want to reflect that change in Screen A Also.
So when Pop back from Screen B> Screen A nothing updated.
In Android, we have onResume() to make changes reflect in Activity A.
I have used Widgets Binding Observer but it works if app background, foreground.
Navigator.of(context).pop();
You can await Navigator.push, when pop is called anything below Navigator.push will be called. Ex:
await Navigator.push(SomePage());
/// This will be called after SomePage cals Navigator.pop();
doSomething();
You can get back from the second page with data like this:
// Second Page
Navigator.pop(context, 'result');
Then by the below code on the first page, you are able to lunch the second page and wait until return from it and get data.
// First Page
var result = await Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SecondPage()),
);
i have app with two screens,one fingerprint screen and another home screen.once
fingerprint is authenticated i will get routed to home screen(using navigator.push()),but if I click back button in phone now it is getting routed to fingerprint screen again.Now how to close the app instead of routing back to finger print screen?
Use Navigator.pushReplacement. It will replace the current topmost widget on the stack with the new one instead of simply pushing it on top.
Example usage -
Navigator.pushReplacement(
context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (BuildContext context) => MyHomePage()));
More documentation about this method can be found here.
put your homepage scaffold inside WillPopScope as a child
WillPopScope(
child: Scaffold(...),
onWillPop: () async {
return false;
},
),
