My goal is to track routes being presented and dismissed for analytics purposes like described on this article: https://medium.com/flutter-community/how-to-track-screen-transitions-in-flutter-with-routeobserver-733984a90dea
I am pushing a CupertinoPageRoute and passing a Widget to it that implements the RouteAware Mixin.
final RouteObserver<PageRoute> routeObserver = RouteObserver<PageRoute>();
return CupertinoApp(
...
navigatorObservers: [routeObserver],
}
Pushing like so:
Navigator.of(context).push(
CupertinoPageRoute(builder: (context) => MyWidget()),
);
The Widget
class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
MyWidget({Key key}) : super(key: key);
@override
_MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}
class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> with RouteAware {
@override
void didChangeDependencies() {
super.didChangeDependencies();
routeObserver.subscribe(this, ModalRoute.of(context));
}
@override
void dispose() {
routeObserver.unsubscribe(this);
super.dispose();
}
@override
void didPop() {
print('never called');
}
@override
void didPopNext() {
print('never called');
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
child: Column(
children: [
CupertinoNavigationBar(
middle: Text('42'),
),
],
),
);
}
}
The didPop() method is never called when popping a CupertinoPageRoute with the back button unless I push with rootNavigator = true which is not what I want.
How can I fix this?
EDIT: This behavior only happens when pushing routes from a CupertinoTabView, as it creates a new nested navigator.
