I need to show an alert dialog before user navigates away from current route by pressing Back
button on Android devices. I tried to intercept back button behavior by implementing WidgetsBindingObserver
in widget state. There is an closed issue on GitHub regarding same topic. However my code is not working as the method didPopRoute() was never called. Here is my code below:
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class NewEntry extends StatefulWidget {
NewEntry({Key key, this.title}) :super(key: key);
final String title;
@override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() => new _NewEntryState();
}
class _NewEntryState extends State<NewEntry> with WidgetsBindingObserver {
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(this);
}
@override
void dispose() {
WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);
super.dispose();
}
@override
Future<bool> didPopRoute() {
return showDialog(
context: context,
child: new AlertDialog(
title: new Text('Are you sure?'),
content: new Text('Unsaved data will be lost.'),
actions: <Widget>[
new FlatButton(
onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(true),
child: new Text('No'),
),
new FlatButton(
onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(false),
child: new Text('Yes'),
),
],
),
);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text(widget.title),
),
floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
child: new Icon(Icons.edit),
onPressed: () {},
),
);
}
}
