ActionListener class

A helper widget for making sure that listeners on an action are removed properly.

Listeners on the Action class must have their listener callbacks removed with Action.removeActionListener when the listener is disposed of. This widget helps with that, by providing a lifetime for the connection between the listener and the Action, and by handling the adding and removing of the listener at the right points in the widget lifecycle.

If you listen to an Action widget in a widget hierarchy, you should use this widget. If you are using an Action outside of a widget context, then you must call removeListener yourself.

This example shows how ActionListener handles adding and removing of the listener in the widget lifecycle.

Constructors

ActionListener({Key? key, required ActionListenerCallback listener, required Action<Intent> action, required Widget child})
Create a const ActionListener.
const

Properties

action → Action<Intent>
The Action that the callback will be registered with.
final
child → Widget
This widget can only have one child. To lay out multiple children, let this widget's child be a widget such as Row, Column, or Stack, which have a children property, and then provide the children to that widget.
final
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
key → Key?
Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
listener → ActionListenerCallback
The ActionListenerCallback callback to register with the action.
final
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
