How can I do contextless navigation in order to move to a maintenance screen in Flutter?-CodePudding

I have a Maintenance controller, that initializez an observable variable, and whenever that variable is true, it navigates to a maintenance screen, and when the variable gets set to false it navigates back as follows:

class MaintenanceController extends GetxController {
  RxBool isMaintenance = false.obs;

  @override
  onInit() {
    super.onInit();
    ever(
        isMaintenance,
        (_) => {
              if (isMaintenance.value) {Get.offNamed(Routes.maintenance)} else {Get.offNamed(Routes.splash)}
            });
  }
}

Everything works fine, but I get the following exception in the logs:

flutter: You are trying to use contextless navigation without
a GetMaterialApp or Get.key.
If you are testing your app, you can use:
[Get.testMode = true], or if you are running your app on
a physical device or emulator, you must exchange your [MaterialApp]
for a [GetMaterialApp].

app.dart:

GetMaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      locale: Get.find<LocalizationController>().deviceLocale,
      getPages: Routes.routes,
      localizationsDelegates: AppLocalizations.localizationsDelegates,
      supportedLocales: AppLocalizations.supportedLocales,
      unknownRoute: Routes.getNotFound,
      initialRoute: GetPlatform.isWeb ? Routes.initial : Routes.splash,
      theme: Get.find<ThemeController>().themeData,
      navigatorKey: NavigationService.navigatorKey,
    );

I tried to add the navigatorKey: Get.key and use navigatorKey.currentState!.pushNamed(routeName); to navigate, but the currentState is always null. Any advice?

CodePudding user response：

You have to use GetMaterialApp instead of MaterialApp for the contextless navigation to work in GetX.

Replace

MaterialApp(home: somePage());

with

GetMaterialApp(home: somePage());

CodePudding user response：

Adding navigatorKey: Get.key to the GetMaterialApp and continuing to use Get.offNamed(...) instead of navigatorKey.currentState!.pushNamed(routeName); worked.
