How to prevent TextFormField redirecting to previous screen?

Time:03-17

I am trying to create form. I managed to create every widget in it, but every time I try to open TextFormField I get redirected back to my MainMenuScreen without any error.

I am using BLoC and routes. I think that issue might be related with using named routes. Issue was not spotted before changing to named routes

MainMenuScreen fragment:

           CategoryCard(
              categoryName: 'Main dishes',
              assetPath: 'assets/images/main_dish.png',
              onPressed: () => Navigator.pushReplacement(context,
                  MaterialPageRoute(builder: (BuildContext context) {
                return BlocProvider.value(
                  value: BlocProvider.of<RecipesBloc>(context)
                    ..add(LoadRecipesEvent())
                    ..category = 'main_dish',
                  child: RecipesScreen(),
                );
              })),
            ),

From MainMenuScreen I redirect to RecipesScreen

Fragment of RecipesScreen with redirect to RecipeCreateForm:

      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () => Navigator.pushReplacement(
          context,
          MaterialPageRoute(builder: (BuildContext context) {
            return RecipeCreateForm();
          }),
        ),

and then I redirect to RecipeCreateForm where I'm using TextFormFields. Whenever I try to use TextFormField I get redirected back to MainMenuScreen.

class RecipeCreateForm extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _RecipeCreateFormState createState() => _RecipeCreateFormState();
}

class _RecipeCreateFormState extends State<RecipeCreateForm> {
  final _recipeNameController = TextEditingController();
  final _imageUrl = TextEditingController();
  String? _difficultyValue;
  late int _ingredientsQuantity;
  late int _preparationStepsQuantity;
  late List<Ingredient> _ingredientsValues;
  late List<PreparationStep> _preparationStepsValues;
  late double _preparationTime;
  String? _portions;

  @override
  void initState() {
    _ingredientsQuantity = 1;
    _preparationStepsQuantity = 1;
    _ingredientsValues = [];
    _preparationStepsValues = [];
    _preparationTime = 0;
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      resizeToAvoidBottomInset: true,
      appBar: AppBar(
        leading: IconButton(
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();

            Icons.arrow_back,

Issue

EDIT: Issue is not related with form. I have replaced whole form with only one field without any logic and issue remains. It is probably related to named routes.

CodePudding user response:

As I was thinking, issue was related with usage of named routes. I managed to bypass this issue with using Future.delayed and pushNamedAndRemoveUntil

In main_menu_screen I have created method which I later used to redirect to categories.

void redirectToCategory(BuildContext context, String categoryName) {
Future.delayed(Duration.zero, () {
  Navigator.pushNamedAndRemoveUntil(
    context,
    '/recipeScreen',
    (_) => false,
    arguments: BlocProvider.value(
      value: BlocProvider.of<RecipesBloc>(context)
        ..add(LoadRecipesEvent())
        ..category = categoryName,
      child: RecipesScreen(),
    ),
  );
});
