Flutter How to show a message when flutter search filter result no result


I'm using a TextFormField to filter an array of lists using GridView to display the Items. Inside my TextFormField there I used onChanged: onSearchTextChanged, which filters through the array response from the Rest API I created which is in json. The filter works fine but I'm looking for a way around showing no result when the user inputs a filter that is not available inside the filter. Below is my code:

TextFormField is as below:


TextFormField(

         controller: controller,
         keyboardType: TextInputType.text,
         onChanged: onSearchTextChanged,

             decoration: InputDecoration(
               border: InputBorder.none,

               contentPadding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(20.0, 15.0, 20.0, 15.0),
           prefixText: ' ',
           hintText: "Search",
           hintStyle: TextStyle(
               color: Colors.grey,fontWeight: FontWeight.normal,
               fontSize: 15,
               fontFamily:
               'Montserrat'),
           prefixIcon: Container(
               child:Icon(
                 Icons.search,
                 color: Colors.grey,
                   size: 20,
               )),

           suffixIcon: backClear==true?InkWell(
               onTap: () {
                 controller.clear();
                 onSearchTextChanged(
                     '');
               },
               child: Container(
                   child:Icon(
                     Icons.backspace,
                     color: Colors.grey,
                     size: 12,
                   ))): Container(
               child:Icon(
                 Icons.view_list_rounded,
                 color: Colors.grey,
                 size: 15,
               )),


           labelStyle: new TextStyle(color: Colors.grey),

         ),
       )

onSearchTextChanged is as below:


onSearchTextChanged(String text) async {
    _searchResult.clear();
    if (text.isEmpty) {
      setState(() {

        backClear=false;

      });
      return;
    }

    content.forEach((userDetail) {
      if (userDetail.username.toLowerCase().contains(text) || userDetail.username.toString().contains(text) ||
           userDetail.username.toUpperCase().contains(text)||userDetail.fullname.toLowerCase().contains(text) || userDetail.fullname.toString().contains(text) ||
           userDetail.fullname.toUpperCase().contains(text)||userDetail.phone.toLowerCase().contains(text) || userDetail.phone.toString().contains(text) ||
           userDetail.phone.toUpperCase().contains(text)||userDetail.email.toLowerCase().contains(text) || userDetail.email.toString().contains(text) ||
           userDetail.email.toUpperCase().contains(text) ) {
        _searchResult.add(userDetail);
      }

    });

    setState(() {

      backClear=true;


    });


  }

  


For instance if John is not part of the return array list for username, fullname then on the screen it should show a message that says not found.

My gridview is as below:

Container(

      child: _searchResult.length != 0 ||
      controller.text.isNotEmpty
      ?new GridView.builder(
          shrinkWrap: true,
          physics: const NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),

          itemCount: _searchResult == null ? 0 : _searchResult.length,
          gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(crossAxisCount:3),
          itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index){

            return Card(
                elevation: 1,
                semanticContainer: true,
                child:InkWell(
                    onTap: () async {


                    },
                    child: Container(
                        padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
                        child:Column(
                            crossAxisAlignment:
                            CrossAxisAlignment.start,

                              Flexible(

                                  children: <Widget>[

                                    Stack(

                                      alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,

Solution

  • With the suggestion of Dani3le_ to use add below if statement inside my onSearchTextChanged and I declare my bool showNotFoundText = false; above my code

    if (_searchResult.isEmpty) {
          //Do something
          setState(() {
             showNotFoundText = true;
          });
        }
    

    and above my Gridview I added the below to show the No result message find below the code:

    showNotFoundText==true ? Text("No result found!",style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Montserrat',color: Colors.grey, fontSize: 13, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),) : Container(),
    

    But onPress of backspace the No result found still shows even if the input is available on the search list so I add showNotFoundText = false; to setState() so that every time the backspace is pressd it set the state of showNotFoundText back to false as shown below:

    setState(() {
            showNotFoundText = false;
    
     });
