Flutter Countdown Timer

Question

How can I do to put the value passed in the construction, to make a timer that rounds to the first decimal and shows at the child text of my RaisedButton? I've tried but without luck. I manage to make work the callback function with a simple Timer but no periodic and with no update of value in real time in the text...

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:ui';
import 'dart:async';

class TimerButton extends StatefulWidget {
  final Duration timerTastoPremuto;


  TimerButton(this.timerTastoPremuto);

  @override
  _TimerButtonState createState() => _TimerButtonState();
}

class _TimerButtonState extends State<TimerButton> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      margin: EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
      height: 135.0,
      width: 135.0,
      child: new RaisedButton(
        elevation: 100.0,
        color: Colors.white.withOpacity(.8),
        highlightElevation: 0.0,
        onPressed: () {
          int _start = widget.timerTastoPremuto.inMilliseconds;

          const oneDecimal = const Duration(milliseconds: 100);
          Timer _timer = new Timer.periodic(
              oneDecimal,
                  (Timer timer) =>
                  setState(() {
                    if (_start < 100) {
                      _timer.cancel();
                    } else {
                      _start = _start - 100;
                    }
                  }));

        },
        splashColor: Colors.red,
        highlightColor: Colors.red,
        //shape: RoundedRectangleBorder e tutto il resto uguale
        shape: BeveledRectangleBorder(
            side: BorderSide(color: Colors.black, width: 2.5),
            borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(15.0)),
        child: new Text(
          "$_start",
          style: new TextStyle(fontFamily: "Minim", fontSize: 50.0),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Answer 1

Here is an example using Timer.periodic :

Countdown starts from 10 to 0 on button click :

import 'dart:async';

[...]

Timer _timer;
int _start = 10;

void startTimer() {
  const oneSec = const Duration(seconds: 1);
  _timer = new Timer.periodic(
    oneSec,
    (Timer timer) {
      if (_start == 0) {
        setState(() {
          timer.cancel();
        });
      } else {
        setState(() {
          _start--;
        });
      }
    },
  );
}

@override
void dispose() {
  _timer.cancel();
  super.dispose();
}

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return new Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Timer test")),
    body: Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        RaisedButton(
          onPressed: () {
            startTimer();
          },
          child: Text("start"),
        ),
        Text("$_start")
      ],
    ),
  );
}

Result :

You can also use the CountdownTimer class from the quiver.async library, usage is even simpler :

import 'package:quiver/async.dart';

[...]

int _start = 10;
int _current = 10;

void startTimer() {
  CountdownTimer countDownTimer = new CountdownTimer(
    new Duration(seconds: _start),
    new Duration(seconds: 1),
  );

  var sub = countDownTimer.listen(null);
  sub.onData((duration) {
    setState(() { _current = _start - duration.elapsed.inSeconds; });
  });

  sub.onDone(() {
    print("Done");
    sub.cancel();
  });
}

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return new Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Timer test")),
    body: Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        RaisedButton(
          onPressed: () {
            startTimer();
          },
          child: Text("start"),
        ),
        Text("$_current")
      ],
    ),
  );
}

EDIT : For the question in comments about button click behavior

With the above code which uses Timer.periodic, a new timer will indeed be started on each button click, and all these timers will update the same _start variable, resulting in a faster decreasing counter.

There are multiple solutions to change this behavior, depending on what you want to achieve :

• disable the button once clicked so that the user could not disturb the countdown anymore (maybe enable it back once timer is cancelled)
• wrap the Timer.periodic creation with a non null condition so that clicking the button multiple times has no effect

if (_timer != null) {
  _timer = new Timer.periodic(...);
}

• cancel the timer and reset the countdown if you want to restart the timer on each click :

if (_timer != null) {
  _timer.cancel();
  _start = 10;
}
_timer = new Timer.periodic(...);

• if you want the button to act like a play/pause button :

if (_timer != null) {
  _timer.cancel();
  _timer = null;
} else {
  _timer = new Timer.periodic(...);
}

You could also use this official async package which provides a RestartableTimer class which extends from Timer and adds the reset method.

So just call _timer.reset(); on each button click.

Finally, Codepen now supports Flutter ! So here is a live example so that everyone can play with it : https://codepen.io/Yann39/pen/oNjrVOb

Answer 2

I have created a Generic Timer Widget which can be used to display any kind of timer and its flexible as well.

This Widget takes following properties

1. secondsRemaining: duration for which timer needs to run in seconds
2. whenTimeExpires: what action needs to be performed if timer finished
3. countDownStyle: any kind of style which you want to give to timer
4. countDownFormatter: the way user wants to display the count down timer e.g hh mm ss string like 01 hours: 20 minutes: 45 seconds

you can provide a default formatter ( formatHHMMSS ) in case you don't want to supply it from every place.

// provide implementation for this - formatHHMMSS(duration.inSeconds); or use below one which I have provided.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class CountDownTimer extends StatefulWidget {
  const CountDownTimer({
    Key key,
    int secondsRemaining,
    this.countDownTimerStyle,
    this.whenTimeExpires,
    this.countDownFormatter,
  })  : secondsRemaining = secondsRemaining,
        super(key: key);

  final int secondsRemaining;
  final Function whenTimeExpires;
  final Function countDownFormatter;
  final TextStyle countDownTimerStyle;

  State createState() => new _CountDownTimerState();
}

class _CountDownTimerState extends State<CountDownTimer>
    with TickerProviderStateMixin {
  AnimationController _controller;
  Duration duration;

  String get timerDisplayString {
    Duration duration = _controller.duration * _controller.value;
    return widget.countDownFormatter != null
        ? widget.countDownFormatter(duration.inSeconds)
        : formatHHMMSS(duration.inSeconds);
      // In case user doesn't provide formatter use the default one
     // for that create a method which will be called formatHHMMSS or whatever you like
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    duration = new Duration(seconds: widget.secondsRemaining);
    _controller = new AnimationController(
      vsync: this,
      duration: duration,
    );
    _controller.reverse(from: widget.secondsRemaining.toDouble());
    _controller.addStatusListener((status) {
      if (status == AnimationStatus.completed || status == AnimationStatus.dismissed) {
        widget.whenTimeExpires();
      }
    });
  }

  @override
  void didUpdateWidget(CountDownTimer oldWidget) {
    if (widget.secondsRemaining != oldWidget.secondsRemaining) {
      setState(() {
        duration = new Duration(seconds: widget.secondsRemaining);
        _controller.dispose();
        _controller = new AnimationController(
          vsync: this,
          duration: duration,
        );
        _controller.reverse(from: widget.secondsRemaining.toDouble());
        _controller.addStatusListener((status) {
          if (status == AnimationStatus.completed) {
            widget.whenTimeExpires();
          } else if (status == AnimationStatus.dismissed) {
            print("Animation Complete");
          }
        });
      });
    }
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Center(
        child: AnimatedBuilder(
            animation: _controller,
            builder: (_, Widget child) {
              return Text(
                timerDisplayString,
                style: widget.countDownTimerStyle,
              );
            }));
  }
}

Usage:

 Container(
       width: 60.0,
       padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 3.0, right: 4.0),
         child: CountDownTimer(
           secondsRemaining: 30,
           whenTimeExpires: () {
              setState(() {
                hasTimerStopped = true;
              });
            },
            countDownTimerStyle: TextStyle(
                color: Color(0XFFf5a623),
                fontSize: 17.0,
                height: 1.2,
            ),
          ),
        )

example for formatHHMMSS:

String formatHHMMSS(int seconds) {
  int hours = (seconds / 3600).truncate();
  seconds = (seconds % 3600).truncate();
  int minutes = (seconds / 60).truncate();

  String hoursStr = (hours).toString().padLeft(2, '0');
  String minutesStr = (minutes).toString().padLeft(2, '0');
  String secondsStr = (seconds % 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0');

  if (hours == 0) {
    return "$minutesStr:$secondsStr";
  }

  return "$hoursStr:$minutesStr:$secondsStr";
}

Little late to the party but why don't you guys try animation.No I am not telling you to manage animation controllers and disposing them off and all that stuff, there's a built-in widget for that called TweenAnimationBuilder. You can animate between values of any type, here's an example with a Duration class

TweenAnimationBuilder<Duration>(
  duration: Duration(minutes: 3),
  tween: Tween(begin: Duration(minutes: 3), end: Duration.zero),
  onEnd: () {
    print('Timer ended');
  },
  builder: (BuildContext context, Duration value, Widget? child) {
    final minutes = value.inMinutes;
    final seconds = value.inSeconds % 60;
    return Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 5),
      child: Text('$minutes:$seconds',
               textAlign: TextAlign.center,
               style: TextStyle(
               color: Colors.black,
               fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
               fontSize: 30)));
    }),

and You also get onEnd call back which notifies you when the animation completes;

here's the output

Here is my Timer widget, not related to the Question but may help someone.

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class OtpTimer extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _OtpTimerState createState() => _OtpTimerState();
}

class _OtpTimerState extends State<OtpTimer> {
  final interval = const Duration(seconds: 1);

  final int timerMaxSeconds = 60;

  int currentSeconds = 0;

  String get timerText =>
      '${((timerMaxSeconds - currentSeconds) ~/ 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')}: ${((timerMaxSeconds - currentSeconds) % 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')}';

  startTimeout([int milliseconds]) {
    var duration = interval;
    Timer.periodic(duration, (timer) {
      setState(() {
        print(timer.tick);
        currentSeconds = timer.tick;
        if (timer.tick >= timerMaxSeconds) timer.cancel();
      });
    });
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    startTimeout();
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Row(
      mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
      children: <Widget>[
        Icon(Icons.timer),
        SizedBox(
          width: 5,
        ),
        Text(timerText)
      ],
    );
  }
}

You will get something like this

Answer 5

doesnt directly answer your question. But helpful for those who want to start something after some time.

Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1), () {
            print('yo hey');

I've Created a amazing timer without any plugin, here you can also get count down timer. And don't forget to stop the timer on back pressed.

If all you need is a simple countdown timer, this is a good alternative instead of installing a package. Happy coding!

countDownTimer() async {
 int timerCount;
 for (int x = 5; x > 0; x--) {
   await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1)).then((_) {
     setState(() {
       timerCount -= 1;
    });
  });
 }
}

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class CustomTimer extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _CustomTimerState createState() => _CustomTimerState();
}

class _CustomTimerState extends State<CustomTimer> {
  final _maxSeconds = 61;
  int _currentSecond = 0;
  Timer _timer;

  String get _timerText {
    final secondsPerMinute = 60;
    final secondsLeft = _maxSeconds - _currentSecond;

    final formattedMinutesLeft =
        (secondsLeft ~/ secondsPerMinute).toString().padLeft(2, '0');
    final formattedSecondsLeft =
        (secondsLeft % secondsPerMinute).toString().padLeft(2, '0');

    print('$formattedMinutesLeft : $formattedSecondsLeft');
    return '$formattedMinutesLeft : $formattedSecondsLeft';
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _startTimer();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _timer.cancel();
    super.dispose();

I'm using https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_countdown_timer

dependencies: flutter_countdown_timer: ^1.0.0

$ flutter pub get

CountdownTimer(endTime: 1594829147719)

1594829147719 is your timestamp in milliseconds

Answer 10

For showing your total seconds in this format hh:mm:ss, you can use below method:

 String getDuration(int totalSeconds) {
    String seconds = (totalSeconds % 60).toInt().toString().padLeft(2, '0');
    String minutes =
   ((totalSeconds / 60) % 60).toInt().toString().padLeft(2, '0');
   String hours = (totalSeconds ~/ 3600).toString().padLeft(2, '0');

   return "$hours\:$minutes\:$seconds";


}

Answer 11

Many answer already provided. I suggest a shortcut way-

Use this package Custom_timer

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  custom_timer: ^0.0.3 

(use latest version)

and very simple to implement

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("CustomTimer example"),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: CustomTimer(
            from: Duration(hours: 12),
            to: Duration(hours: 0),
            onBuildAction: CustomTimerAction.auto_start,
            builder: (CustomTimerRemainingTime remaining) {
              return Text(
                "${remaining.hours}:${remaining.minutes}:${remaining.seconds}",
                style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30.0),
              );
            },
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

Answer 12

import 'package:rxdart/rxdart.dart';

final BehaviorSubject<int> resendTimeController = BehaviorSubject<int>();
static const timerDuration = 90;
int resendTimer = 0;
Timer? timer;

void startTimer() {
  timer?.cancel();
  resendTimer = timerDuration;

  timer = Timer.periodic(const Duration(seconds: 1), (timer) {
    if (resendTimer > 0) {
      resendTimer--;
      resendTimeController.add(resendTimer);

      if (resendTimer == 0) {
        timer.cancel();
      }
    }
  });
}
and use intl this

StreamBuilder<int>(
  stream: _bloc.resendTimeController,
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    if (!snapshot.hasData) {
      return Container();
    }

    final DateTime date = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(snapshot.data! * 1000);

    return GestureDetector(
      onTap: () {
        if (snapshot.data == 0) {
          _bloc.resendCode();
        }
      },
      child: Text(
        snapshot.data! > 0 ? 'Resend code ${DateFormat('mm:ss').format(date)}' : 'Resend SMS',
      ),
    );
  },
),

Answer 13

import 'package:async/async.dart';
    
late CancelableOperation? cancellableOperation;
int counter = 5;

StatefulBuilder(
   builder: (context, setState) {
              if (counter > 0) {
                cancellableOperation = CancelableOperation.fromFuture(
                  Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 1)),
                  onCancel: () => {},
                );
                cancellableOperation?.value.whenComplete(() => setState(() => counter--));
                return buildButton(
                  text: 'Wait($counter)',
                  textColor: getTextColor,
                  backgroundColor: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.5),
                  onPressed: () {},
                );
              }
              return buildButton(
                text: 'Complete',
                textColor: Colors.green,
                backgroundColor: Colors.greenAccent.withOpacity(0.5),
                onPressed: () {},
              );
            },
          )

I did something like this for my dialog's complete button. It counts for 5 seconds before to show complete button. But do not forget to call cancellableOperation?.cancel() if you close the dialog or page before counting complete.

Answer 14

Countdown timer in one line

CountdownTimer(Duration(seconds: 5), Duration(seconds: 1)).listen((data){
})..onData((data){
  print('data $data');
})..onDone((){
  print('onDone.........');
});
