Currently I have my password TextFormField
like this:
TextFormField(
decoration: const InputDecoration(
labelText: 'Password',
icon: const Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 15.0),
child: const Icon(Icons.lock),
)),
validator: (val) => val.length < 6 ? 'Password too short.' : null,
onSaved: (val) => _password = val,
obscureText: true,
);
I want a button like interaction which will make password visible and invisible. Can I do it inside TextFormField
? Or I will have to make a Stack
widget to get my required UI. And how will the condition be made regarding obscureText
true/false?
First make you widget StatefulWidget
if it is a StatelessWidget
.
Then have a variable bool _obscureText
and pass it to your TextFormField
. The toggle it with setState
as required.
Example:
class _FormFieldSampleState extends State<FormFieldSample> {
// Initially password is obscure
bool _obscureText = true;
String _password;
// Toggles the password show status
void _toggle() {
setState(() {
_obscureText = !_obscureText;
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("Sample"),
),
body: new Container(
child: new Column(
children: <Widget>[
new TextFormField(
decoration: const InputDecoration(
labelText: 'Password',
icon: const Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 15.0),
child: const Icon(Icons.lock))),
validator: (val) => val.length < 6 ? 'Password too short.' : null,
onSaved: (val) => _password = val,
obscureText: _obscureText,
),
new FlatButton(
onPressed: _toggle,
child: new Text(_obscureText ? "Show" : "Hide"))
],
),
),
);
}
}
