I am trying with https://github.com/flutter/codelabs/blob/master/startup_namer/step6_add_interactivity/lib/main.dart everything works fine but
when i keep debugging point in the onTab function( At line number 61) and breakpoint in ListView.Builder( At line number 38 ).
OnTab method is getting called first after that only ListView is getting called but i'm not able to understand how the index are correctly calculated in onTap method because th actual logic for index is placed at ListView.

ListView

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ListView.builder(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
      itemBuilder: (context, i) {
        if (i.isOdd) return const Divider();

        final index = i ~/ 2;
        if (index >= _suggestions.length) {
          _suggestions.addAll(generateWordPairs().take(10));
        }
    final alreadySaved = _saved.contains(_suggestions[index]);

OnTap

  onTap: () {
    setState(() {
      if (alreadySaved) {
        _saved.remove(_suggestions[index]);
      } else {
        _saved.add(_suggestions[index]);
      }
    });

Please explain how the index is getting calculated onTap.

The favorite item is storing Set.

 final _saved = <WordPair>{};

Once you click on favorite button, it checks whether it is already on _saved

final alreadySaved = _saved.contains(_suggestions[index]);

Now if alreadySaved is true, it remove from the current tap item from the set.

if (alreadySaved) {
  _saved.remove(_suggestions[index]);
}

If it alreadySaved is false mean , _saved doesnt contain the item, it add it.

 else {
  _saved.add(_suggestions[index]);
}

It is not storing the index, it is storing items value

And _suggestions is holding all generated item.
