I have a flutter app with 2 widgets/pages namely:
- Loading widget/page (Comes up right on startup of the app)
- Home widget/page
I want to launch the home page after loading page has completed loading. Basically my question is - How can I get to know when my widget has finished loading?
Following is my code:
// My main.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:routes/pages/home.dart';
import 'package:routes/pages/loading.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
routes: {
'/': (context) => Loading(),
'/home': (context) => Home(),
},
);
}
}
class Loading extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_LoadingState createState() => _LoadingState();
}
class _LoadingState extends State<Loading> {
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
// Below line of code causes problem. How can I call to route to new page after current widget has completed loading
launchAnotherWidgetAfterDoingSomething();
}
void launchAnotherWidgetAfterDoingSomething() {
// Do some necessary logic....
Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/home');
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Loading screen'),
),
);
}
}
You can try this
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
// ...
_gotoHome();
}
// ...
void _gotoHome() {
Future.delayed(Duration.zero, () {
Navigator.of(context).pushReplacementNamed('/home')
});
}
Edit
To trigger an actio after every widget is built in your page add this in your initState
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
// do what you want here
});
