I am trying to get the customer number through TextField and just to test displaying it over the next screen, but nothing appears.

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  final searchRecordField = TextFormField(
    autofocus: false,
    keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
    controller: customerNumber,
    textInputAction: TextInputAction.next,
    decoration: InputDecoration(
      prefixIcon: Icon(Icons.phone),
      contentPadding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(20, 15, 20, 15),
      hintText: "Enter Customer Number",
      border: OutlineInputBorder(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10),
      ),
    ),
  );

Code for next screen.

return Scaffold(
    body: Container(
      child: (
        Text("Showing Results for ${customerNumber.text.toString()}",
        style: TextStyle(
          color: Colors.black12, fontSize: 24, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
      ),
    ),
  ),
);

It shows "showing results for" but not the number I entered in the previous screen.

CodePudding user response：

You have to pass the data from the initial screen to the new screen, so that you can render the data.

Here's flutter resource on how to pass data between 2 screens.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      initialRoute: '/home',
      routes: {
        '/home': (context) => const HomePage(),
        '/next': (context) => NextPage(
              ModalRoute.of(context)!.settings.arguments as String,
            ),
      },
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const HomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  final customerNumber = TextEditingController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Pass Args Between Routes Demo'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [

                ))
          ],
        ),
      ),
