The ui Looks like thisenter image description here

I am not able to access tasks List that is defined in the task_screen.dart from add_taskScreen.dart . I am getting the below error despite importing the required files

error: Undefined name 'tasks'. (undefined_identifier at [todoey_flutter] lib\add_task_screen.dart:43)

here is my Code

CodePudding user response:

The tasks list does not exist in the child widget. You can access the widget via the callback method you provided. Refactor your FlatButton to look like this:

FlatButton(
  onPressed: () {
    addTaskCallBack(newTaskTitle);
  },
  child: const Text('Add'),
  color: Colors.lightBlueAccent,
)

CodePudding user response:

In task_screen.dart create a function like this

void _handleAddTask(String _name)=>setState(()=>tasks.add(Task(name: _name))));

Then modify showModalBottomSheet to look like this

showModalBottomSheet(builder:(context)=>AddTaskScreen(_handleAddTask,"Add task"), context: context);},),);}}

In add_Task_Screen.dart, modify AddTaskScreen( this.addTaskCallBack, {Key? key}) : super(key: key); to this

AddTaskScreen( this.addTaskCallBack, this.newTaskTitle, {Key? key}) : super(key: key);

create a TextEditingController for your TextField as pass it to it like this

TextField(
              autofocus: true,
controller: _textFieldController,
                autocorrect: true,
              textAlign: TextAlign.center,
              onChanged: (newText){
               newTaskTitle = newText;
              },
            ),

Finally, in the onPress of Add button, modify it to something like this:

            FlatButton(
              onPressed: (){

                print(newTaskTitle);
addTaskCallBack(_textFieldController.text);
              },
              child: const Text('Add'),
              color: Colors.lightBlueAccent,
            )
