Show alert dialog on app main screen load automatically in flutter

问题

I want to show alert dialog based on a condition. Not based on user interaction such as button press event.

If a flag is set in app state data alert dialog is shown otherwise its not.

Below is the sample alert dialog which I want to show

  void _showDialog() {
    // flutter defined function
    showDialog(
      context: context,
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        // return object of type Dialog
        return AlertDialog(
          title: new Text("Alert Dialog title"),
          content: new Text("Alert Dialog body"),
          actions: <Widget>[
            // usually buttons at the bottom of the dialog
            new FlatButton(
              child: new Text("Close"),
              onPressed: () {
                Navigator.of(context).pop();
              },
            ),
          ],
        );
      },
    );
  }

I tried to call that method inside main screen widget's build method but it gives me error -

 The context used to push or pop routes from the Navigator must be that of a widget that is a descendant of a Navigator widget.
E/flutter ( 3667): #0      Navigator.of.<anonymous closure> (package:flutter/src/widgets/navigator.dart:1179:9)
E/flutter ( 3667): #1      Navigator.of (package:flutter/src/widgets/navigator.dart:1186:6)
E/flutter ( 3667): #2      showDialog (package:flutter/src/material/dialog.dart:642:20)

Problem is I don't know from where I should call that _showDialog method?

回答1:

I would place it in initState of a State (of a StatefulWidget).

Placing it in the build method of a Stateless widget is tempting, but that will trigger your alert multiple times.

In this example below, it displays an alert when the device is not connected to the Wifi, showing a [try again] button if it's not.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:connectivity/connectivity.dart';

void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(title: "Wifi Check", home: MyPage()));

class MyPage extends StatefulWidget {
    @override
    _MyPageState createState() => _MyPageState();
}

class _MyPageState extends State<MyPage> {
    bool _tryAgain = false;

    @override
    void initState() {
      super.initState();
      _checkWifi();
    }

    _checkWifi() async {
      // the method below returns a Future
      var connectivityResult = await (new Connectivity().checkConnectivity());
      bool connectedToWifi = (connectivityResult == ConnectivityResult.wifi);
      if (!connectedToWifi) {
        _showAlert(context);
      }
      if (_tryAgain != !connectedToWifi) {
        setState(() => _tryAgain = !connectedToWifi);
      }
    }

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      var body = Container(
        alignment: Alignment.center,
        child: _tryAgain
          ? RaisedButton(
              child: Text("Try again"),
              onPressed: () {
                _checkWifi();
            })
          : Text("This device is connected to Wifi"),
      );

      return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Wifi check")),
        body: body
      );
    }

    void _showAlert(BuildContext context) {
      showDialog(
          context: context,
          builder: (context) => AlertDialog(
            title: Text("Wifi"),
            content: Text("Wifi not detected. Please activate it."),
          )
      );
    }
}

You have to wrap the content inside another Widget (preferably Stateless).

Example:

Change From:

  import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

  void main() {
    runApp(new MyApp());
  }

  class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return MaterialApp(
          title: 'Trial',
          home: Scaffold(
              appBar: AppBar(title: Text('List scroll')),
              body: Container(
                child: Text("Hello world"),
              )));
    }
  }

to this:

  import 'dart:async';
  import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

  void main() {
    runApp(new MyApp());
  }

  class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return MaterialApp(
          title: 'Trial',
          home: Scaffold(
              appBar: AppBar(title: Text('List scroll')), body: new MyHome()));
    }
  }

  class MyHome extends StatelessWidget { // Wrapper Widget
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      Future.delayed(Duration.zero, () => showAlert(context));
      return Container(
        child: Text("Hello world"),
      );
    }

    void showAlert(BuildContext context) {
      showDialog(
          context: context,
          builder: (context) => AlertDialog(
                content: Text("hi"),
              ));
    }
  }

Note: Refer here for wrapping show alert inside Future.delayed(Duration.zero,..)

I solved it using a package developed by Flutter Community. here https://pub.dev/packages/after_layout

Add this to your pubspec.yaml

after_layout: ^1.0.7+2

And try below example

import 'package:after_layout/after_layout.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class DialogDemo extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _DialogDemoState createState() => _DialogDemoState();
}

class _DialogDemoState extends State<DialogDemo>
    with AfterLayoutMixin<DialogDemo> {
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  void afterFirstLayout(BuildContext context) {
    _neverSatisfied();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SafeArea(
      child: Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.red),
      ),
    );
  }

  Future<void> _neverSatisfied() async {
    return showDialog<void>(
      context: context,
      barrierDismissible: false, // user must tap button!
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        return AlertDialog(
          title: Text('Rewind and remember'),
          content: SingleChildScrollView(
            child: ListBody(
              children: <Widget>[
                Text('You will never be satisfied.'),
                Text('You\’re like me. I’m never satisfied.'),
              ],
            ),
          ),
          actions: <Widget>[
            FlatButton(
              child: Text('Regret'),
              onPressed: () {
                Navigator.of(context).pop();
              },
            ),
          ],
        );
      },
    );
  }
}
