Keeping a Widget Always Visible While Navigating in Flutter

In the world of Flutter app development, creating a seamless user experience is paramount. One common challenge developers face is maintaining certain widgets, like an AppBar, visible and functional while navigating through different pages in an app. If you're using Navigator.pushNamed, you might find that your app's UI resets or re-renders, causing the loss of important UI elements. In this guide, we will explore how to keep a widget persistent across multiple screens without redesigning your entire app layout.

Understanding the Problem

When navigating between pages in Flutter, developers typically use the Navigator class, which allows for convenient page transitions. However, a common downside is that any widgets that are not housed within a parent Scaffold will need to be recreated each time a new page is loaded. This means if you have a widget, such as a navigation bar, that you want to keep visible, it can be frustrating to lose its state or visibility each time you switch pages.

Solution: Using the Builder Property of MaterialApp

To tackle this issue effectively, you can utilize the builder property of the MaterialApp widget. This approach allows you to wrap your pages with a common widget structure, ensuring certain elements remain visible no matter which page is being displayed. Here’s how you can implement this solution:

Step-by-Step Code Example

Set Up Your Application Structure

Start by creating a new Flutter project and replacing the main.dart file with the following code:

Explanation of Key Components

The home property of MaterialApp is set to Page1(), which acts as the initial screen of your application.

The builder property of MaterialApp allows you to wrap your pages (child) with a Scaffold that includes a persistent AppBar. This means whenever you navigate to a new page, the existing AppBar remains intact.

Handling Navigation

In Page1, an ElevatedButton is used to navigate to Page2. This button demonstrates how you can seamlessly transition between pages while keeping the AppBar persistent.

Result

By utilizing the builder property as shown, your AppBar (or any widget you wish to keep visible) will remain consistent and user-friendly across different pages, enhancing the overall user experience.

Conclusion

Maintaining a persistent widget while navigating through different pages in a Flutter application is not only achievable but also enhances your app's usability. By leveraging the builder property of the MaterialApp, you can easily wrap your pages with a common Scaffold. This solution keeps vital UI components intact through transitions without the need for significant restructuring of your code.

Now that you know how to keep your widgets visible, you can focus on enhancing your app functionality and user experience with less hassle! Happy coding!
