in this widget there is call to setState but it gives me error because this is a global widget where i am just passing the required data i also want to pass the state so it can access the setState method how can i achieve that ?? Thanks in Advance....

Answer 1

pass a function which executes when the button is pressed

  userDrawer((){setState(){});

in the global class

  userDrawer(Function onPressed){
    return FlatButton(onPressed: onPressed, child: Text('Click'));
  }

or if you want set a value

  userDrawer(Function onPressed){
    return FlatButton(onPressed: (){
      value = newValue;
      onPressed();
    }, child: Text('Click'));
  }

Answer 2

okay for passing state you have to pass this to the global widget.

For example:

Calling from stateful class:

userDrawer(this);

This is global class:

userDrawer(var state){ 
return Container( 
child: RaisedButton(
child: Text("Click"), 
onPressed:(){ 
state.setState(() { 
value = newValue;
}) }
)
