Save user input with a textformfield in flutter?

Time:06-19

Hi im new to Flutter and coding and tried do build my first to do app. I've created a textformfield to add new todos with a button in a container above. I used the texteditingcontroller to get the userinput and stored the input in a variable. To test the outcome, I simply tried to display the information under the button, but it didnt work. When pressing the button, the text doesn't change. What did I do wrong here?

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

  @override
  State<LandingPage> createState() => _LandingPageState();
}

class _LandingPageState extends State<LandingPage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final _textController = TextEditingController();
    String userInput = "";
    return Scaffold(
      
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Center(child: Text("To-Do-App")),
        backgroundColor: Colors.redAccent,
      ),
      body: SingleChildScrollView(
        child: Column(
          children: [
            const ToDos(),
            Column(
            children:  [
              Padding(
                padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 8.0, left: 20, right: 20, bottom: 20),

                    userInput = _textController.text;

CodePudding user response:

Move these 2 variable declaration outside the build method. The build method is called when you setState and then it rebuilds again. That's the reason its not updated.

final _textController = TextEditingController();
    String userInput = "";
@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
}
