How to create Flutter route for Stateful Widget?


I'm getting the Navigator operation requested with a context that does not include a Navigator. error log for my Flutter app. All the examples I see are for "Stateless" widgets so I think this may be the issue or my code? How can I route to my LoginPage? Here is my code without any Navigator or route...

 void main() {
      runApp(new MyApp());
    }

    final googleSignIn = new GoogleSignIn();
    final fb = FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference();
    final auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;

    class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
      @override
      _MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
    }

    class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
      String _platformVersion = 'Unknown';

      @override
      initState() {
        super.initState();
        initPlatformState();
      }

      // Platform messages are asynchronous, so we initialize in an async method.
      initPlatformState() async {
        String platformVersion;
        // Platform messages may fail, so we use a try/catch PlatformException.
        try {
          platformVersion = await Myfavkpopflutter.platformVersion;
        } on PlatformException {
          platformVersion = 'Failed to get platform version.';
        }

        // If the widget was removed from the tree while the asynchronous platform
        // message was in flight, we want to discard the reply rather than calling
        // setState to update our non-existent appearance.
        if (!mounted) return;

        setState(() {
          _platformVersion = platformVersion;
        });
      }

      void MyFavAction() {
        setState(() {
          print("MYFAV");

    //      fb.child("messages").orderByValue().onChildAdded.listen((Event event) {
    //        print('Child added: ${event.snapshot.value}');
    //      });
        });
      }

      void SearchAction() {
        setState(() {
          print("Search");
        });
      }



      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        if (auth.currentUser == null) {
          return new MaterialApp(
            routes: <String, WidgetBuilder>{
            '/settings': (BuildContext context) => new LoginPage(),
            },
            home: new Scaffold(

}

**** EDIT Here is the error log I'm getting...

══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY GESTURE ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The following assertion was thrown while handling a gesture: Navigator operation requested with a context that does not include a Navigator.

Solution

  • You stated in the title that your problem is navigating to a StatefulWidget while in your post you are asking about how to navigate to a StatelessWidget LoginPage.

    Anyhow, you should be able to implement navigating the same way regardless of the state matter.

    Try to follow the following flow which is taken from an app I am working on.

    //Local Imports
    //MyTabs.dart is where I define my home page which is a StatefulWidget with TabBarView 
    import 'MyTabs.dart' as first;
    

    .....

    //My main function where I start my app
    
        void main() {
          runApp( new MaterialApp(
            home: new SignIn(),
            routes: <String, WidgetBuilder>{
              "/mytabs" : (BuildContext context)=> new first.MyTabs(),
              //add more routes here
            },
    
          ));
        }
    

    My app starts with a SignIn page, I have created a simpler one than I have to show the idea

    class SignIn extends StatelessWidget {
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return new Scaffold(
        appBar: new AppBar(
          title: new Text("Sign In"),
        ),
        body: new IconButton(icon: new Icon(Icons.arrow_forward), onPressed: (){Navigator.of(context).pushNamed("/mytabs");}),
      )
    

    I hope I was of any help, try to follow this flow in your code and let me know how it went.
