I know there is already a similar question, but i couldn't really solve mine from its answers. So I have a FutureBuilder which won't update when the data is loaded and I cant figure out why. The way I understand it, after the 2 second delay the Widget should be rebuild ("Data Arrived" should be printed). Why is this not happening?
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class NewQRPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_NewQRPageState createState() => _NewQRPageState();
}
class _NewQRPageState extends State<NewQRPage> {
Future link;
@override
void initState() {
link = getLink();
super.initState();
}
getLink() async{
Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds: 2000),(){
print("Data Returned");
return "hello";
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
child: FutureBuilder(
future: link,
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if(snapshot.hasData){
print("Data Arrived");
return Text(snapshot.data);
}
else if(snapshot.hasError){
print("Error");
return Text("Error");
}
else {
print("No Data");
return Text("No Data");
}
},
),
);
}
}
And the Console Output is:
Performing hot restart...
Syncing files to device LYA L29...

I/flutter (22206): No Data
I/flutter (22206): No Data
I/flutter (22206): Data Returned
You shouldn't return "Hello"
in your lamda i.e (){}
Try
Future<String> getLink() async{
await Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds: 2000));
print("Data Returned");
return "hello";
}
