How to navigate to different pages through dropdown menu

Time:08-02

When clicked on the menu item, I want it to redirect to a different page. For example, if I am clicking on 'First', it should redirect to a separate page and similarly for all other items in the list. Basically, I want all the items in the dropdown menu list to be clickable such that they redirect the user to a different page (navigating through dropdown button) so how can this be done?

                                      gradient: LinearGradient(colors: [

It would be better to use the onChanged method and remove that onTap on the individual Widgets.

        onChanged: (String? newValue) {
            if (newValue != dropdownValue) {
              switch (newValue) {
                case '          First       ':
                  Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/firstRoute');
                  break;
                case '       Second       ':
                  Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/secondRoute');
                  break;
                case '         Third       ':
                  Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/thirdRoute');
                  break;
                case '       Fourth       ':
                  Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/fourthRoute');
                  break;
              }
            }

            setState(() {
              dropdownValue = newValue!;
            });
          },
