I have two screens in my flutter application Screen1
and Screen2
. Screen1
is the home screen. I navigate from Screen1
to Screen2
via
Navigator.of(context).push(PageRouteBuilder<void>(pageBuilder: (context, animation, secondaryAnimation) => Screen2());
and Screen2
to Screen1
via
Navigator.pop(context);
Screen1
is statelesswidget:
class Screen1 extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MultiBlocProvider(
providers: [
BlocProvider<BlocA>(create: (_) => BlocA()),
BlocProvider<BlocB>(create: (_) => BlocB()),
]
child: RaisedButton(
child: Text('Goto Screen 2'),
onPressed: Navigator.of(context).push(PageRouteBuilder<void>(pageBuilder: (context, animation, secondaryAnimation) => Screen2());
),
)
}
}
I would appreciate anyone can provide an answer that will satisfy the following :
Want to access the two bloc initialised in the Screen1
from Screen2
using
BlocProvider.value(value: BlocProvider.of(context), child: ...)
without bringing the initialisation of blocs upto the MaterialApp
widget. Cannot make the MultiBlocProvider
the parent of MaterialApp
. I want the blocs only accessed in Screen1
and Screen2
. It should not be accessed by other screens.
Screen2
to Screen1
, the blocs should not be disposed. Hence, continue to maintain state when popped from Screen2
Navigator
Currently getting following error:
flutter: ══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY WIDGETS LIBRARY ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
flutter: The following assertion was thrown building Screen2(dirty):
flutter: BlocProvider.of() called with a context that does not contain a BlocA.
flutter: No ancestor could be found starting from the context that was passed to
flutter: BlocProvider.of<BlocA>().
flutter:
flutter: This can happen if the context you used comes from a widget above the BlocProvider.
flutter:
flutter: The context used was: Screen2(dirty)
To use the already created bloc instance on new page, you can use BlocProvider.value
.
Like passing BlocX
to next route will be like
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => BlocProvider.value(
value: BlocProvider.of<BlocX>(context),
child: Screen2(),
),
),
);
I might go for repository provider on your case. But to pass multiple instance, you can wrap BlocProvider
two times on route.
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => BlocProvider.value(
value: BlocProvider.of<BlocA>(context),
child: BlocProvider.value(
value: BlocProvider.of<BlocB>(context),
child: Screen2(),
),
),
),
);
Currently, I cannot remember any better option, let me know if you've got any.
Now, your second route Screen2
can access both BlocA
and BlocB
instance.
You can get the instance it like, depend on your code structure.
BlocConsumer<BlocA, BlocAState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state is BlocAInitial) {
return Text(state.name);
}
return Text("un impleneted");
},
listener: (context, state) {},
),
When you create bloc, and like to pass it with
BlocProvider.value(value: BlocProvider.of<BlocA>(context),
, you need to use separate context.

Check the demo, It will clarify, I am using Builder instead of creating new widget for context.
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Screen1(),
);
}
}
class Screen1 extends StatelessWidget {
const Screen1({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MultiBlocProvider(
providers: [
BlocProvider<BlocA>(create: (_) => BlocA()),
BlocProvider<BlocB>(create: (_) => BlocB()),
],
child: Builder(builder: (context) {
return Scaffold(
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () {
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => BlocProvider.value(
value: BlocProvider.of<BlocA>(context),
child: BlocProvider.value(
value: BlocProvider.of<BlocB>(context),
child: Screen2(),
),
),
),
);
},
),
);
}),
);
}
}
class Screen2 extends StatelessWidget {
const Screen2({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: [
BlocConsumer<BlocA, BlocAState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state is BlocAInitial) {
return Text(state.name);
}
return Text("un impleneted");
},
listener: (context, state) {},
),
BlocConsumer<BlocB, BlocBState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state is BlocBInitial) {
return Text(state.name);
}
return Text("un impleneted");
},
listener: (context, state) {},
),
],
),
);
}
}
