The method addListener() of the TextEditingController get called multiple times after executing the clear() method, this will only happen if we are clearing it.

TextEditingController _pinPutController = TextEditingController();
  @override
  void initState() {
    _pinPutController.addListener(() {
      if (_pinPutController.text.length > 4) {
          print("Hello world");
          _pinPutController.clear();
      }
  });
}

When the condition in the if statement is true, the body is executed twice.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

bool isClear = false;

TextField(
  controller: _pinPutController,
  decoration: InputDecoration(
    hintText: "Enter a message",
    suffixIcon: IconButton(
      onPressed: () => (isClear)?_pinPutController.clear(): null,
      icon: Icon(Icons.clear),
    ),
  ),
)

Change the code you wrote by adding isClear into it

TextEditingController _pinPutController = TextEditingController();
  @override
  void initState() {
    _pinPutController.addListener(() {
      if (_pinPutController.text.length > 4) {
          setState(() {
            isClear = true;
          });
      }
  });
}
