DirectionalFocusTraversalPolicyMixin mixin

A mixin class that provides an implementation for finding a node in a particular direction.

This can be mixed in to other FocusTraversalPolicy implementations that only want to implement new next/previous policies.

Since hysteresis in the navigation order is undesirable, this implementation maintains a stack of previous locations that have been visited on the policyData for the affected FocusScopeNode. If the previous direction was the opposite of the current direction, then the this policy will request focus on the previously focused node. Change to another direction other than the current one or its opposite will clear the stack.

For instance, if the focus moves down, down, down, and then up, up, up, it will follow the same path through the widgets in both directions. However, if it moves down, down, down, left, right, and then up, up, up, it may not follow the same path on the way up as it did on the way down, since changing the axis of motion resets the history.

Methods

invalidateScopeData(FocusScopeNode node) → void: Clears the data associated with the given FocusScopeNode for this object. [...]
override
changedScope({FocusNode node, FocusScopeNode oldScope}) → void: This is called whenever the given node is re-parented into a new scope, so that the policy has a chance to update or invalidate any cached data that it maintains per scope about the node. [...]
override
findFirstFocusInDirection(FocusNode currentNode, TraversalDirection direction) → FocusNode: Returns the first node in the given direction that should receive focus if there is no current focus in the scope to which the currentNode belongs. [...]
override
inDirection(FocusNode currentNode, TraversalDirection direction) → bool: Focuses the next widget in the given direction in the FocusScope that contains the currentNode. [...]
@mustCallSuper, override
findFirstFocus(FocusNode currentNode) → FocusNode: Returns the node that should receive focus if focus is traversing forwards, and there is no current focus. [...]
inherited
findLastFocus(FocusNode currentNode) → FocusNode: Returns the node that should receive focus if focus is traversing backwards, and there is no current focus. [...]
inherited
next(FocusNode currentNode) → bool: Focuses the next widget in the focus scope that contains the given currentNode. [...]
inherited
previous(FocusNode currentNode) → bool: Focuses the previous widget in the focus scope that contains the given currentNode. [...]
inherited
sortDescendants(Iterable<FocusNode> descendants, FocusNode currentNode) → Iterable<FocusNode>: Sorts the given descendants into focus order. [...]
@protected, inherited
toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel: DiagnosticLevel.info}) → String: Returns a string representation of this object.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
toStringShort() → String: A brief description of this object, usually just the runtimeType and the hashCode. [...]
inherited
toDiagnosticsNode({String name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle style}) → DiagnosticsNode: Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep. [...]
inherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void: Add additional properties associated with the node. [...]

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool: The equality operator. [...]
