Flutter: dynamically add tabs and keep state with AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin
I'm trying to create a form with tabs. In each tab I have TextFormField. Tabs have AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin to keep their State. Tabs can be created dynamically. When new tab is created, it is inserted in the middle of the tabs list.
Problem: when new tab is inserted, its TextFormField keep state of the next tab and so on. It seems states keeps in order from 1 to n. Is there any way to keep the right state for tabs?
Thanks in advance.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class TabTesting extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_TabTestingState createState() => _TabTestingState();
}
class _TabTestingState extends State<TabTesting> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
List<MyTab> _tabs = [
MyTab(TabData("1", "1")),
MyTab(TabData("3", "3")),
];
TabController _tabController;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_tabController = new TabController(vsync: this, length: _tabs.length);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("TabTesting"),
bottom: TabBar(
controller: _tabController,
labelPadding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16.0),
tabs: _tabs.map((tab) => Text(tab.tabData.name)).toList(),
),
),
body: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(32.0),
child: TabBarView(
controller: _tabController,
children: _tabs,
),
),
persistentFooterButtons: <Widget>[
RaisedButton(
child: Text("Add tab"),
onPressed: () {
final newTab = MyTab(TabData("2", "2"));
final newTabs = _tabs;
newTabs.insert(1, newTab);
final index = _tabController.index;
setState(() {
_tabs = newTabs;
_tabController = TabController(
vsync: this,
length: newTabs.length,
initialIndex: index);
});
},
),
],
);
}
}
class MyTab extends StatefulWidget {
final tabData;
MyTab(this.tabData);
@override
_MyTabState createState() => _MyTabState();
}
class _MyTabState extends State<MyTab> with AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin {
@override
bool get wantKeepAlive => true;
@override
