I have a showModalBottomSheet
like the below, which I understand to inherit from BottomSheet
(right?)
showModalBottomSheet<void>(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return Container(
height: 260.0,
child: Text('I am text')
);
},
);
What I want to do:
I want to know (listen) when the modal is being closed, and act on it.
I've seen this onClosing
callback:
https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/material/BottomSheet/onClosing.html
How can I have a listener attached to the showModalBottomSheet
, and then act accordingly when it fires?
Perhaps it's not the best solution, but showModalBottomSheet return a "Future" so you can used it.
For example:
void _showModal() {
Future<void> future = showModalBottomSheet<void>(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return Container(height: 260.0, child: Text('I am text'));
},
);
future.then((void value) => _closeModal(value));
}
void _closeModal(void value) {
print('modal closed');
}
Old post but anyways, Might be helpful for you or others. So you can also achieve it by use of whenComplete
function of showModalBottomSheet
.
Let's see below code
showModalBottomSheet<void>(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return Container(
height: 260.0,
child: Text('I am text')
);
},
).whenComplete(() {
print('Hey there, I\'m calling after hide bottomSheet');
});
That's it.
Using async / await on showModalBottomSheet() close
You can do this with async / await instead of callbacks.
As per the documentation, showModalBottomSheet()
Returns a Future that resolves to the value (if any) that was passed to Navigator.pop when the modal bottom sheet was closed.
This means that we can "await" the showModelBottomSheet()
to complete, and then use the value returned by the Navigator.pop()
function used to close the sheet.
Because this is "waiting" for the sheet to be closed, your next function won't run until it's closed. In this example, we just call the print()
function, but that could be any function you need. No callbacks are necessary in this case.
Tip: if it's critical that the user tap a "save and close" button to close the bottom sheet (instead of just tapping outside of it), you should use isDismissibile: false
on the sheet.
In this example, we expect the sheet to return a string when it's closed.
Example Button To Open The showModalBottomSheet()
FlatButton(
child: Text("Show Bottom Sheet"),
onPressed: () async {
print("Showing bottom sheet...");
String test = await showModalBottomSheet<String>(
context: context,
isDismissible: false,
builder: (context) => Widget(),
);
print("Modal sheet closed with value: " + test);
},
),
Example Button To Close The sheet, inside Widget()
FlatButton(
child: Text("Save and Close"),
onPressed: () {
print("Closing sheet.");
Navigator.pop(context, "This string will be passed back to the parent",);
},
),
Example Log Outputs
flutter: Showing bottom sheet...
flutter: Closing sheet.
flutter: Modal sheet closed with value: This string will be passed back to the parent
() async {
// Save the bottomsheet in a variable
var bottomSheet = showModalBottomSheet(
context: context,
builder: (context) => Container();
);
// Detect when it closes
await bottomSheet.then((onValue) {
print("value: $onValue");
});
// Do something here
}
showBottomSheet does not return a future, now it returns a PersistentBottomSheetController
var _scaffoldKey = GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
PersistentBottomSheetController persistentBottomSheetController;
persistentBottomSheetController = _scaffoldKey.currentState.showBottomSheet<void>(
(context)=>Container(
)
);
persistentBottomSheetController.closed.then(_closeModal);
void _closeModal(void value) {
print('modal closed');
}
I personally think the accepted answer is not as sleek as it can be. A wiser idea is to do it native Dart way without any extra complexity:
() async {
final result = await showModalBottomSheet(context: context, builder: (_) =>
);
}
It also works with Navigator.of(context).pushNamed()
. result
variable value in my case is defined by the value you pass back on Navigator.of(context).pop({value})
. You can return any kind of object and then make a simple if statement to make sure data is the one you want:
if(result != null && result == true) { ... }
