how to keep bottom navigation bar in all pages with stateful widget in Flutter


I am able to navigate to multiple different pages with visible bottom navigation bar on all pages but not able to switch between all of them so how can I switch between tabs with bottom bar being there in all pages

I got till here using this Answer but not able to make it work i.e to switch between bottom navigation tabs...

in short I want to add view for my message tab i.e second tab and move to it also without losing my bottom navigation bar for every page i navigate to...

so far my code,

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(home: HomePage()));

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
        backgroundColor: Colors.orange,
        items: [
          BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.call), label: 'Call'),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.message), label: 'Message'),
        ],
      ),
      body: Navigator(
        onGenerateRoute: (settings) {
          Widget page = Page1();
          if (settings.name == 'page2') page = Page2();
          return MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => page);
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

// 1st Page:

class Page1 extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Page1')),
      body: Center(
        child: RaisedButton(
          onPressed: () => Navigator.pushNamed(context, 'page2'),
          child: Text('Go to Page2'),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

// 2nd Page:

class Page2 extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => Scaffold(appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Page2')));
}

Solution

  • Try like this:

    class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
      @override
      State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
    }
    
    class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
      int activeIndex = 0;
      void changeActivePage(int index) {
        setState(() {
          activeIndex = index;
        });
      }
    
      List<Widget> pages = [];
    
      @override
      void initState() {
        pages = [
          Page1(() => changeActivePage(2)),
          Page2(),
          Page3(),
        ];
        super.initState();
      }
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
            bottomNavigationBar: SizedBox(
              width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
              child: Row(
                mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
                children: [
                  IconButton(onPressed: () => changeActivePage(0), icon: Icon(Icons.call)),
                  IconButton(onPressed: () => changeActivePage(1), icon: Icon(Icons.message)),
                ],
              ),
            ),
            body: pages[activeIndex]);
      }
    }
    
    // 1st Page:
    
    class Page1 extends StatelessWidget {
      final Function callback;
    
      const Page1(this.callback);
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Page1')),
          body: Center(
            child: RaisedButton(
              onPressed: () => callback(),
              child: Text('Go to Page3'),
            ),
          ),
        );
      }
    }
    
    // 2nd Page:
    
    class Page2 extends StatelessWidget {
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) =>
          Scaffold(appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Page2')));
    }
    
    // 3rd Page:
    
    class Page3 extends StatelessWidget {
      const Page3();
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Page3')),
          body: Center(child: Text('Page3')),
        );
      }
    }
