I'm building an app for training in Flutter and I'm actually stuck in the filter functionality.
I have a ListView where I fetch data from TheMovieDB API and a ModalBottomSheet with three FilterChips for selecting the filter criteria (popular, top rated and latest movies).
And here's where I'm stuck. I want to call the "_loadNextPage()" method when the user presses the "Done" button in the ModalBottomSheet through "performUpdate()" but I can't do it because they're not in the same class.
I'll post the code down below for better understanding.
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
RequestProvider _requestProvider = new RequestProvider();
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("FluttieDB"),
actions: <Widget>[
IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.filter_list),
onPressed: () => buildFilterBottomSheet(),
)
],
),
body: MovieList(_requestProvider, _currentFilter),
);
}
void buildFilterBottomSheet() {
showModalBottomSheet(
context: context,
builder: (builder) {
return Container(
height: 150.0,
decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.white),
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
buildFilterTitle(context),
Expanded(
child: _FilterChipRow(),
),
],
),
);
});
}
Widget buildFilterTitle(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 12.0, vertical: 6.0),
alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
height: 46.0,
decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.blue),
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
children: <Widget>[
Text(
"Filter by",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 20.0),
),
OutlineButton(
onPressed: () => performUpdate(context),
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
shape: const StadiumBorder(),
child: Text(
"Done",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
),
),
],
),
);
}
void performUpdate(BuildContext context) {
MovieList _movieList = new MovieList(_requestProvider, _currentFilter);
_movieList.createState()._loadNextPage();
Navigator.pop(context);
}
}
class MovieList extends StatefulWidget {
MovieList(this.provider, this.currentFilter, {Key key}) : super(key: key);
final RequestProvider provider;
final String currentFilter;
@override
_MovieListState createState() => new _MovieListState();
}
class _MovieListState extends State<MovieList> {
List<Movie> _movies = List();
int _pageNumber = 1;
LoadingState _loadingState = LoadingState.LOADING;
bool _isLoading = false;
_loadNextPage() async {
_isLoading = true;
try {
var nextMovies = await widget.provider
.provideMedia(widget.currentFilter, page: _pageNumber);
setState(() {
_loadingState = LoadingState.DONE;
_movies.addAll(nextMovies);
_isLoading = false;
_pageNumber++;
});
} catch (e) {
_isLoading = false;
if (_loadingState == LoadingState.LOADING) {
setState(() => _loadingState = LoadingState.ERROR);
}
}
}
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_loadNextPage();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
switch (_loadingState) {
case LoadingState.DONE:
return ListView.builder(
itemCount: _movies.length,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
if (!_isLoading && index > (_movies.length * 0.7)) {
_loadNextPage();
}
return MovieListItem(_movies[index]);
});
case LoadingState.ERROR:
return Center(
child: Text("Error retrieving movies, check your connection"));
case LoadingState.LOADING:
return Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
default:
return Container();
}
}
}
As you can see, I did some experiments in the performUpdate() but it doesn't refresh the ListView with the selected option in the filters and I don't think it's the best way to achieve what I want.
Thanks and sorry if the question is a bit dumb. I'm a little bit newbie in Flutter.
