I want to display a simple SnackBar inside Flutter's stateful widget. My application creates new instance of MaterialApp with a stateful widget called MyHomePage.
I try to show the SnackBar in showSnackBar() method. But it fails with 'The method 'showSnackBar' was called on null'.
What's wrong with this code?
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter',
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: new MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePage({Key key}) : super(key: key);
@override
_MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
final GlobalKey<ScaffoldState> _scaffoldKey = new GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
showInSnackBar("Some text");
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Padding(
key: _scaffoldKey,
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
child: new Text("Simple Text")
);
}
void showInSnackBar(String value) {
_scaffoldKey.currentState.showSnackBar(new SnackBar(
content: new Text(value)
));
}
}
SOLUTION:
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter',
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: new Scaffold(body: new MyHomePage()),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePage({Key key}) : super(key: key);
@override
_MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
showInSnackBar("Some text");
return new Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
child: new Scaffold(
body: new Text("Simple Text")
)
);
}
void showInSnackBar(String value) {
Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(new SnackBar(
content: new Text(value)
));
}
}
In my case i had code like this (in class state)
final GlobalKey<ScaffoldState> _scaffoldKey = new GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
void showInSnackBar(String value) {
_scaffoldKey.currentState.showSnackBar(new SnackBar(content: new Text(value)));
}
but i didn't setup the key for scaffold. so when i add key: _scaffoldKey
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
key: _scaffoldKey,
body: new SafeArea(
snackbar start to work :)
