Make cards with texts and buttons dynamically - dart

I'm making Notes app. I made cards with text and buttons dynamically (Create by clicking the button). But I have problem with Changing Text on CURRENT card. For example, I have 3 cards with own texts and buttons and I want to change text on 2nd card but text is changing on the 3rd card. How can I solve this problem?
3 cards with texts and buttons
Change Text Page
In the past, I've tried making list to collect texts, but i dont know how to identify current card.

Okay, so you happen to make some common mistakes, one of which is critical.
most importantly don't use global variables! As you do with count, titlecard and textcard.
there is a practice to name stateful widgets with PascalCase and corresponding states just like the widget but prefixed with an underscore (_) to make it private and suffixed by the State word.
The correct approach for this (or one of them) would be to have a widget that would be your screen with a form to edit stuff and it would pop some struct with user values on submit:
class ChangeTextScreen extends StatefulWidget {
_ChangeTextScreenState createState() => _ChangeTextScreenState();
}
class _ChangeTextScreenState extends State<ChangeTextScreen> {
void _submit() {
setState(() {
formkey.currentState.save();
Navigator.pop(ChangeTextResult(title: titleController.text, text: textController.text));
});
}
// Rest of your code...
}
class ChangeTextResult {
final String title;
final String text;
ChangeTextResult({#required this.title, #required this.text});
}
You should also have a place where you store your notes in some kind of a list. Your main screen looks like a good place for it. Once your app will be bigger, think about using scoped_model or Redux or something.
So let's add a Note class and a list with your notes to your main screen:
class Note {
String title;
String text;
Note(this.title, this.text);
}
class HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
List<Note> _notes = [Note('Test', 'Some test note')];
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
ListView cards = ListView.builder(
itemCount: _notes.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) => MyCard(
title: _notes[index].title,
text: _notes[index].text,
onEdit: (title, text) => setState(() { // We'll get back to that later
_notes[index].title = title;
_notes[index].text = text;
})
));
// (...)
Your MyCard widget (try to use better names next time) should contain some kind of information about its content, one of the best approaches would be to pass this info to its constructor, just like that:
class MyCard extends StatefulWidget {
final String title;
final String text;
final Function onEdit;
MyCard({Key key, #required this.title, #required this.text, #required this.onEdit}) : super(key: key);
#override
_MyCardState createState() => _MyCardState();
}
Having this Key parameter is a good practice.
And use those parameters in your _MyCardState class (I renamed it from _myCard):
// (...)
children: <Widget>[
ListTile(
leading: Icon(Icons.album),
title: Text(widget.title),
subtitle: Text(widget.text),
),
// (...)
Returning to the moment where you open your ChangeTextScreen, you should assign the result of Navigation.push() to a variable. This is your result, you can deal with it (once we check it for null, the user could have returned from this screen and then the result would be null).
void click() {
setState(() {
final ChangeTextResult result = Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => ChangeTextScreen())
);
if (result != null) {
widget.onEdit(result.title, result.text);
}
});
}
Do you remember that onEdit parameter (I mentioned it in a comment in the code above)? We call that parameter here.
That's it I think. I could have mixed some concepts of your app, but I think you'll manage to get my point anyways.
I quite rewrote all of your code. I think it will be easier for you to start again from scratch and have those tips in mind. Also, try to Google some similar things (like a simple Todo application) or do Getting started from flutter.io with part two! That should give you a nice idea on how to resolve that common problem in Flutter.
And also, read about good practises in Flutter and Dart. Things like correctly formatting your code are really important.
BTW that's my longest answer on Stack Overflow so far. I hope you'll appreciate that.

how to get key from build Widget

I want to get value key which contains in Widget build(), but it says 'Undefined'. Also, I need to get this value to another class. How can I do it?
I`ve tried to just take this value, but it says undefined error
String newValue = s; // It says Undefined
I also tried to get this value to another class but this method gives more errors :c
myCard c = myCard();
String classValue = c.s; // It says 'Only static members can be accessed in initializers' and 'The getter 's' isn`t defined for the class 'myCard' '
Here`s part of main.dart file
class MyCard extends StatefulWidget {
#override

Since you're just listening for values, one way of doing this is by listening to the value using Streams. You can initialize the class where the value can be Streamed and access it anywhere. Do note that once the Stream has been closed, you can only create a new Stream.
Here's a sample.
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class SampleStream extends StatefulWidget {
const SampleStream({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
#override
State<SampleStream> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<SampleStream> {
Counter counter = Counter();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return StreamBuilder<int>(
stream: counter.showCount,
builder: (context, AsyncSnapshot<int> snapshot) {
int count = snapshot.hasData ? snapshot.data! : 0;
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(widget.title),
),
body: Center(
child: Text(
'You clicked the button $count times'),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
child: const Icon(Icons.plus_one),
onPressed: () {
counter.setCount(++count);
},
),
);
});
}
#override
void dispose() {
super.dispose();
counter.disposeCount();
}
}
class Counter {
final _count = StreamController<int>.broadcast();
Stream<int> get showCount => _count.stream;
setCount(int count) {
debugPrint('Stream sink: $count');
_count.sink.add(count);
}
disposeCount() {
_count.close();
}
}
In this demo, Counter was initialized in _MyHomePageState and can only be accessed in the same class. Calling counter.setCount(int) updates the stream and the stream value can be listened to using StreamBuilder to fetch the snapshot.

How to Conditionally Route Using One Button? (Flutter)

I have a scene (collections.dart) that takes an index of several other scenes/files in a PageView.builder. You can swipe between scenes from the collections.dart file. Also in collections.dart is a button.
I want it to be the case that if you click on the button, and the current scene being shown through collections.dart is, for example, FirstScreen, then I can route to a table I have built specifically for first.dart, with the same being true for all other scenes in the index.
I have tried to accomplish this by a conditional statement in the onPressed argument, but no success yet. There is no error, it just takes no action. Here is the code in its entirety for collections.dart (including the unsuccessful conditional statement for onPressed):
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:circle_indicator/circle_indicator.dart';
import 'first.dart';
import 'second.dart';
import 'third.dart';
import 'fourth.dart';
import 'fifth.dart';
import 'sixth.dart';
import 'seventh.dart';
import 'eighth.dart';
import 'ninth.dart';
import 'tenth.dart';
class CollectionsScreen extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context){
return Collections();
}
}
class Collections extends StatefulWidget {
#override
CollectionsState createState() => CollectionsState();
}
class CollectionsState extends State<Collections> {
FirstScreen one;
SecondScreen two;
ThirdScreen three;
FourthScreen four;
FifthScreen five;
SixthScreen six;
SeventhScreen seven;
EighthScreen eight;
NinthScreen nine;
TenthScreen ten;
List<Widget> pages;
#override
void initState() {
one = FirstScreen();
two = SecondScreen();
three = ThirdScreen();
four = FourthScreen();
five = FifthScreen();
six = SixthScreen();
seven = SeventhScreen();
eight = EighthScreen();
nine = NinthScreen();
ten = TenthScreen();
pages = [one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten];
super.initState();
}
final PageController controller = new PageController();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context){
return new Stack(
children: <Widget>[
new Scaffold(
body: new Container(
child: new PageView.builder( //Swipe Between Pages
controller: controller,
itemCount: 10,
itemBuilder: (context, index){
return pages[index];
}
),
),
),
new Container( //CircleIndicator
child: new CircleIndicator(controller, 10, 8.0, Colors.white70, Colors.white,),
alignment: Alignment(0.0, 0.9),
),
new Container( //Button
alignment: Alignment(0.0, 0.65),
child: new Row(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
children: <Widget>[
new Container(
child: new RaisedButton(
elevation: 4.0,
child: new Text(
'SHOW ME',
style: new TextStyle(
fontWeight: FontWeight.w900,
fontSize: 22.0,
),
),
color: Color(0xFF70E0EF),
shape: new RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(7.5)
),
//This is the conditional statement I'm talking about
onPressed: () {
new PageView.builder(
controller: controller,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
if (pages[index] == one){
Navigator.push(
context,
new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new FirstTable()),
);
}
else if (pages[index] == two){
Navigator.push(
context,
new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new SecondTable()),
);
}
else {
Navigator.push(
context,
new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new ThirdTable()),
);
}
}
);
},
),
width: 150.0,
height: 60.0,
),
],
),
),
],
);
}
}
The "Table" classes I'm referring to in the conditional statement are in the files for first.dart, second.dart, etc. Here is the file for first.dart. For the moment, the code is identical between all these files (first.dart, second.dart, etc.):
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class FirstScreen extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new First();
}
}
class First extends StatefulWidget {
#override
FirstState createState() => FirstState();
}
class FirstState extends State<First>{
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
double fontSize = MediaQuery.of(context).size.height;
double fontSizeFractional = fontSize * 0.07;
return Scaffold(
body: new Stack(
fit: StackFit.passthrough,
children: [
new Container( //Background
decoration: new BoxDecoration(
image: new DecorationImage(
image: new AssetImage('assets/FirstBG.png'),
fit: BoxFit.cover
),
),
),
new Container( //Title
margin: EdgeInsets.all(40.0),
alignment: new Alignment(0.0, -0.70),
child: new Text(
'FIRST',
style: new TextStyle(
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
fontSize: fontSizeFractional,
color: Colors.white,
fontFamily: 'baron neue',
),
),
),
],
),
);
}
}
class FirstTable extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Table();
}
}
class Table extends StatefulWidget {
#override
TableState createState() => TableState();
}
class TableState extends State<Table>{
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: new RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
},
child: new Text(
'Go Back',
),
),
),
);
}
}
I have a theory that the reason it isn't working is that collections.dart isn't actually caching any data as to what page of the index it is on (that could be totally wrong, though). Curious to hear your ideas!
Your problem is that you should directly use controller.page inside the onPressed of your button. instead of instantiating a widget.
Although ultimately you should hide an abstract layer between your gallery class and the list of items.
To do that you can create a custom class which will hols all informations about a gallery item :
#immutable
class GalleryItem {
final Widget content;
final Widget details;
GalleryItem({#required this.content, this.details}) : assert(content != null);
}
Your gallery will then take a list of such class as parameter. And do it's job with these.
Ideally you want to use your gallery like this :
Gallery(
items: [
GalleryItem(
content: Container(
color: Colors.red,
),
details: Text("red"),
),
GalleryItem(
content: Container(
color: Colors.blue,
),
details: Text("blue"),
),
],
),
The code of such gallery would be :
class Gallery extends StatefulWidget {
final List<GalleryItem> items;
Gallery({#required this.items, Key key})
: assert(items != null),
super(key: key);
#override
_GalleryState createState() => _GalleryState();
}
class _GalleryState extends State<Gallery> {
final PageController pageController = PageController();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: PageView(
children: widget.items.map((item) => item.content).toList(),
controller: pageController,
),
),
RaisedButton(
onPressed: showContentDetails,
child: Text("More info"),
)
],
);
}
void showContentDetails() {
final index = pageController.page.round();
if (widget.items[index]?.details != null) {
showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (_) =>
GalleryItemDetails(details: widget.items[index].details),
);
}
}
}
class GalleryItemDetails extends StatelessWidget {
final Widget details;
GalleryItemDetails({#required this.details, Key key})
: assert(details != null),
super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Dialog(
child: details,
);
}
}

Maintain state for StatefulWidget during build in Flutter

I have a list of stateful widgets where the user can add, remove, and interact with items in the list. Removing items from the list causes subsequent items in the list to rebuild as they shift to fill the deleted row. This results in a loss of state data for these widgets - though they should remain unaltered other than their location on the screen. I want to be able to maintain state for the remaining items in the list even as their position changes.
Below is a simplified version of my app which consists primarily of a list of StatefulWidgets. The user can add items to the list ("tasks" in my app) via the floating action button or remove them by swiping. Any item in the list can be highlighted by tapping the item, which changes the state of the background color of the item. If multiple items are highlighted in the list, and an item (other than the last item in the list) is removed, the items that shift to replace the removed item lose their state data (i.e. the background color resets to transparent). I suspect this is because _taskList rebuilds since I call setState() to update the display after a task is removed. I want to know if there is a clean way to maintain state data for the remaining tasks after a task is removed from _taskList.
void main() => runApp(new TimeTrackApp());
class TimeTrackApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: 'Time Tracker',
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: new TimeTrackHome(title: 'Task List'),
);
}
}
class TimeTrackHome extends StatefulWidget {
TimeTrackHome({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
#override
_TimeTrackHomeState createState() => new _TimeTrackHomeState();
}
class _TimeTrackHomeState extends State<TimeTrackHome> {
TextEditingController _textController;
List<TaskItem> _taskList = new List<TaskItem>();
void _addTaskDialog() async {
_textController = TextEditingController();
await showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (_) => new AlertDialog(
title: new Text("Add A New Task"),
content: new TextField(
controller: _textController,
decoration: InputDecoration(
border: InputBorder.none, hintText: 'Enter the task name'),
),
actions: <Widget>[
new FlatButton(
onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
child: const Text("CANCEL")),
new FlatButton(
onPressed: (() {
Navigator.pop(context);
_addTask(_textController.text);
}),
child: const Text("ADD"))
],
));
}
void _addTask(String title) {
setState(() {
// add the new task
_taskList.add(TaskItem(
name: title,
));
});
}

if (index < _taskList.length) {
return Dismissible(

onDismissed: (direction) {
if(this.mounted) {
setState(() {
_taskList.removeAt(index);
});
}
},
child: _taskList[index],
);
}
}),
),
floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: _addTaskDialog,
tooltip: 'Click to add a new task',
child: new Icon(Icons.add),
),
);
}
}
class TaskItem extends StatefulWidget {
final String name;
TaskItem({Key key, this.name}) : super(key: key);
TaskItem.from(TaskItem other) : name = other.name;
#override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() => new _TaskState();
}
class _TaskState extends State<TaskItem> {
static final _taskFont =
const TextStyle(fontSize: 26.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold);
Color _color = Colors.transparent;
void _highlightTask() {
setState(() {
if(_color == Colors.transparent) {
_color = Colors.greenAccent;
}
else {
_color = Colors.transparent;
}
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(children: <Widget>[
Material(
color: _color,

title: Text(
widget.name,

textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
onTap: () {
_highlightTask();
},
),
),
Divider(
height: 0.0,
),
]);
}
}
I ended up solving the problem by creating an intermediate class which contains a reference to the StatefulWidget and transferred over all the state variables. The State class accesses the state variables through a reference to the intermediate class. The higher level widget that contained and managed a List of the StatefulWidget now access the StatefulWidget through this intermediate class. I'm not entirely confident in the "correctness" of my solution as I haven't found any other examples of this, so I am still open to suggestions.
My intermediate class is as follows:
class TaskItemData {
// StatefulWidget reference
TaskItem widget;
Color _color = Colors.transparent;
TaskItemData({String name: "",}) {
_color = Colors.transparent;
widget = TaskItem(name: name, stateData: this,);
}
}
My StatefulWidget and its corresponding State classes are nearly unchanged, except that the state variables no longer reside in the State class. I also added a reference to the intermediate class inside my StatefulWidget which gets initialized in the constructor. Previous uses of state variables in my State class now get accessed through the reference to the intermediate class. The modified StatefulWidget and State classes is as follows:
class TaskItem extends StatefulWidget {
final String name;
// intermediate class reference
final TaskItemData stateData;
TaskItem({Key key, this.name, this.stateData}) : super(key: key);
#override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() => new _TaskItemState();
}
class _TaskItemState extends State<TaskItem> {
static final _taskFont =
const TextStyle(fontSize: 26.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold);
void _highlightTask() {
setState(() {
if(widget.stateData._color == Colors.transparent) {
widget.stateData._color = Colors.greenAccent;
}
else {
widget.stateData._color = Colors.transparent;
}
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(children: <Widget>[
Material(
color: widget.stateData._color,
child: ListTile(
title: Text(
widget.name,
style: _taskFont,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
onTap: () {
_highlightTask();
},
),
),
Divider(
height: 0.0,

]);
}
}
The widget containing the List of TaskItem objects has been replaced with a List of TaskItemData. The ListViewBuilder child now accesses the TaskItem widget through the intermediate class (i.e. child: _taskList[index], has changed to child: _taskList[index].widget,). It is as follows:
class _TimeTrackHomeState extends State<TimeTrackHome> {
TextEditingController _textController;
List<TaskItemData> _taskList = new List<TaskItemData>();
void _addTaskDialog() async {
_textController = TextEditingController();
await showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (_) => new AlertDialog(
title: new Text("Add A New Task"),
content: new TextField(
controller: _textController,
decoration: InputDecoration(
border: InputBorder.none, hintText: 'Enter the task name'),
),
actions: <Widget>[
new FlatButton(
onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
child: const Text("CANCEL")),
new FlatButton(
onPressed: (() {
Navigator.pop(context);
_addTask(_textController.text);
}),
child: const Text("ADD"))
],
));
}
void _addTask(String title) {
setState(() {
// add the new task
_taskList.add(TaskItemData(
name: title,
));
});
}
#override
void initState() {
_taskList = List<TaskItemData>();
super.initState();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text(widget.title),
),
body: new Align(
alignment: Alignment.topCenter,
child: ListView.builder(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
itemExtent: 60.0,
itemCount: _taskList.length,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
if (index < _taskList.length) {
return Dismissible(
key: ObjectKey(_taskList[index]),
onDismissed: (direction) {
if(this.mounted) {
setState(() {
_taskList.removeAt(index);
});
}
},
child: _taskList[index].widget,
);
}
}),
),
floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: _addTaskDialog,
tooltip: 'Click to add a new task',
child: new Icon(Icons.add),
),
);
}
}

Show a text field dialog without being covered by keyboard?

I'm trying to create a SimpleDialog that allows the user to enter their name. But when it is displayed the dialog is half hidden by the on-screen keyboard:
How can I get the Dialog to be fully visible?
Edit: I find it strange that the homepage widget (FocusVisibilityDemo) recognises the reduced height and therefore adjusts the position of the 'Push Me' button to remain in the center. Unfortunately the dialog doesn't behave the same way.
Here is my code:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class FocusVisibilityDemo extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_FocusVisibilityDemoState createState() => new _FocusVisibilityDemoState();
}
class _FocusVisibilityDemoState extends State<FocusVisibilityDemo> {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(title: new Text('Text Dialog Demo')),
body: new Center(
child: new RaisedButton(
onPressed: _showDialog,
child: new Text("Push Me"),
),
),
);
}
_showDialog() async {
await showDialog<String>(
context: context,
child: new AlertDialog(
contentPadding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
content: new Row(
children: <Widget>[
new Expanded(
child: new TextField(
autofocus: true,
decoration: new InputDecoration(
labelText: 'Full Name', hintText: 'eg. John Smith'),
),
)
],
),
actions: <Widget>[
new FlatButton(
child: const Text('CANCEL'),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
}),
new FlatButton(
child: const Text('OPEN'),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
})
],
),
);
}
}
void main() {
runApp(new MaterialApp(home: new FocusVisibilityDemo()));
}
If your use case is to add multiple TextFields inside your Dialog so your main Form does not get crowded, I think it is better if you build something more customizable than AlertDialog and SimpleDialog as they are used for simple activities (confirmations, radios..etc).
Otherwise, why do you want to use a Dialog for a single TextField ?
When we add multiple TextFields we should be careful about our design choices since other people will interact with this view to fill in the data, in this case I prefer to use fullscreenDialog property of PageRoute class. I am not sure if SimpleDialog can be suitable for that in Flutter.
Here is a quick example on how to use a FullScreenDialog, I hope this help and you should be able to modify it the way you want:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(new MaterialApp(home: new MyApp(),));
}
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
#override
MyAppState createState() => new MyAppState();
}
class MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
FullScreenDialog _myDialog = new FullScreenDialog();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("Fill this form"),
),
body: new Column(
children: <Widget>[
new TextField(controller: new TextEditingController(
text: "Add a single text field"),),
new Card(child: new ListTile(
title: new Text("Click to add your top 3 amazing skills"),
subtitle: new Text(
"${_myDialog._skillOne} ${_myDialog._skillTwo} ${_myDialog
._skillThree}"),
onTap: () {
Navigator.push(context, new MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (BuildContext context) => _myDialog,
fullscreenDialog: true,
));
},
),
),
],
)
);
}
}
class FullScreenDialog extends StatefulWidget {
String _skillOne = "You have";
String _skillTwo = "not Added";
String _skillThree = "any skills yet";
#override
FullScreenDialogState createState() => new FullScreenDialogState();
}
class FullScreenDialogState extends State<FullScreenDialog> {
TextEditingController _skillOneController = new TextEditingController();
TextEditingController _skillTwoController = new TextEditingController();
TextEditingController _skillThreeController = new TextEditingController();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("Add your top 3 skills"),
),
body: new Padding(child: new ListView(
children: <Widget>[
new TextField(controller: _skillOneController,),
new TextField(controller: _skillTwoController,),
new TextField(controller: _skillThreeController,),
new Row(
children: <Widget>[
new Expanded(child: new RaisedButton(onPressed: () {
widget._skillThree = _skillThreeController.text;
widget._skillTwo = _skillTwoController.text;
widget._skillOne = _skillOneController.text;
Navigator.pop(context);
}, child: new Text("Save"),))
],
)
],
), padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 20.0),)
);
}
}
EDIT
After doing some research, it seems that this is a bug in the current Flutter version, the temporary fix is also documented in this issue.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(new MaterialApp(home: new FocusVisibilityDemo()));
}
class FocusVisibilityDemo extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_FocusVisibilityDemoState createState() => new _FocusVisibilityDemoState();
}
class _FocusVisibilityDemoState extends State<FocusVisibilityDemo> {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(title: new Text('Text Dialog Demo')),
body: new Center(
child: new RaisedButton(
onPressed: _showDialog,
child: new Text("Push Me"),
),
),
);
}
_showDialog() async {
await showDialog<String>(
context: context,
child: new _SystemPadding(child: new AlertDialog(
contentPadding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
content: new Row(
children: <Widget>[
new Expanded(
child: new TextField(
autofocus: true,
decoration: new InputDecoration(
labelText: 'Full Name', hintText: 'eg. John Smith'),
),
)
],
),
actions: <Widget>[
new FlatButton(
child: const Text('CANCEL'),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
}),
new FlatButton(
child: const Text('OPEN'),
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
})
],
),),
);
}
}
class _SystemPadding extends StatelessWidget {
final Widget child;
_SystemPadding({Key key, this.child}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
var mediaQuery = MediaQuery.of(context);
return new AnimatedContainer(
padding: mediaQuery.viewInsets,
duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 300),
child: child);
}
}

Flutter - Radio Animation is not showing up on showDialog

I'm trying to create a Radio in a showDialog, however the animation that occurs on Radio does not appear in showDialog.
For example: when tapped in foo2 nothing happens, and when you exit in showDialog and go back to it, foo2 is selected.
Below is the code and a gif showing what is happening:
import "package:flutter/material.dart";
void main() {
runApp(new ControlleApp());
}
class ControlleApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: "My App",
home: new HomePage(),
);
}
}
class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
#override
HomePageState createState() => new HomePageState();
}
enum _RadioGroup {
foo1,
foo2
}
class HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
_RadioGroup _itemType = _RadioGroup.foo1;
void changeItemType(_RadioGroup type) {
setState(() {
_itemType = type;
});
}
void showDemoDialog<T>({ BuildContext context, Widget child }) {
showDialog<T>(
context: context,
child: child,
);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context){
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(backgroundColor: new Color(0xFF26C6DA)),
body: new Container(
child: new Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new InkWell(
onTap: (){
showDemoDialog<String>(
context: context,
child: new SimpleDialog(
title: const Text("show"),
children: <Widget>[
new Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new Radio<_RadioGroup>(
groupValue: _itemType,
value: _RadioGroup.foo1,
onChanged: changeItemType
),
const Text("foo1"),
new Radio<_RadioGroup>(
groupValue: _itemType,
value: _RadioGroup.foo2,
onChanged: changeItemType
),
const Text("foo2"),
],
)
],
)
);
},
child: new Container(
margin: new EdgeInsets.only(top: 16.0, bottom: 8.0),
child: new Text("Show"),
),
)
],
),
)
);
}
}
Remember that components are immutable.
When you call showDialog, the content of that dialog won't change even if HomePage does.
The solution is easy. You need to refactor a bit your code to something like :
showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (context) => MyForm()
)
and instead of changing the state of HomePage, you instead change the state of MyForm.
example :
class Test extends StatelessWidget {
void onSubmit(String result) {
print(result);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () => showDialog(context: context, builder: (context) => MyForm(onSubmit: onSubmit)),
child: Text("dialog"),
),
),
);
}
}
typedef void MyFormCallback(String result);
class MyForm extends StatefulWidget {
final MyFormCallback onSubmit;
MyForm({this.onSubmit});
#override
_MyFormState createState() => _MyFormState();
}
class _MyFormState extends State<MyForm> {
String value = "foo";
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return SimpleDialog(
title: Text("My form"),
children: <Widget>[
Radio(
groupValue: value,
onChanged: (value) => setState(() => this.value = value),
value: "foo",
),
Radio(
groupValue: value,
onChanged: (value) => setState(() => this.value = value),
value: "bar",
),
FlatButton(
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
widget.onSubmit(value);
},
child: new Text("submit"),
)
],
);
}
}
