I want to keep the user logged in after the user successfully logsin in flutter. I am using a REST API to retrieve the user name and password of the user. But I want to save those details so that the user can stay logged in. My current situation is i can successfully log the user in but when i restart the app i have to login again so i need to save the details of the user in a shared preference so that the user can stay logged for the entire session until logout.But i am unable to do that so please help me with it. Thanks in advance
This is the code i have for my login page. I have removed the UI contents which should be inside the listview as those are not that relevant.
