I tried WillPopScope . It is not entering in onWillPop .

How to solve the problem. My code is shown below.

    void main() => runApp(MyApp());
    class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
    // This widget is the root of your application.
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
            appBar: new AppBar(),
            body: MyAppPage()
        ),
        );
    }
    }

    class MyAppPage extends StatefulWidget{
    MyAppPage({Key key,}):super(key:key);

    @override
    _MyAppPageState createState()=> new _MyAppPageState();
    }

    class _MyAppPageState extends State<MyAppPage>{

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context){
        return new Scaffold(
        body:RaisedButton(onPressed:(){ Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SecondScreen()));},
        child: new Text("got to page 1"),)
        );
    }
    }

page 2

    class SecondScreen extends StatelessWidget{
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
            appBar: new AppBar(),
            body: SecondPage()
        ),
        );
    }
    }

    class SecondPage extends StatefulWidget{
    SecondPage({Key key,}):super(key:key);
    @override
    SecondPageState createState()=> new SecondPageState();
    }

    class SecondPageState extends State<SecondPage>{
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context){
        return new Scaffold(
            body:Column(
            children: <Widget>[
                new Center(
                child: new Text("Page 2"),
                ),
                RaisedButton(onPressed:(){ Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ThirdScreen()));},
                child: new Text("go to third Page 3"),)
            ],
            )
        );
    }
    }

page 3

    class ThirdScreen extends StatelessWidget{
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
            appBar: new AppBar(),
            body: ThirdPage()
        ),
        );
    }
    }

    class ThirdPage extends StatefulWidget{
    ThirdPage({Key key,}):super(key:key);

    ThirdPageState createState()=> new ThirdPageState();
    }

    class ThirdPageState extends State<ThirdPage>{
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context){
        return new WillPopScope(
        child: new Scaffold(
            body:  new Center(
            child: new Text('PAGE 3'),
            ),

You kinda got confused with the Screen and Pages you created. You actually have more Widgets than you need.

This is what you probably want to do.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(home: MyAppPage());
  }
}

class MyAppPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppPageState createState() => _MyAppPageState();
}

class _MyAppPageState extends State<MyAppPage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Page 1")),
      body: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
        children: <Widget>[
          Center(child: Text("got to page 1")),
          RaisedButton(
            child: Text("Go to Page 2"),
            onPressed: () {
              Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SecondPage()));
            },
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

class SecondPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _SecondPageState createState() => _SecondPageState();
}

class _SecondPageState extends State<SecondPage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Page 2")),
      body: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
        children: <Widget>[
          Center(
            child: Text("I'm in Page 2"),
          ),
          RaisedButton(
            onPressed: () {
              Navigator.push(context,
                  MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ThirdPage()));
            },
            child: Text("go to third Page 3"),
          )
        ],
      )
    );
  }
}

class ThirdPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ThirdPageState createState() => _ThirdPageState();
}

class _ThirdPageState extends State<ThirdPage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Page 3")),
      body: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
        children: <Widget>[
          Center(child: Text('PAGE 3')),
          RaisedButton(
            child: Text("aditional back button"),
            onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

Ya I got the answer. I avoid stateless and use stateful. Thanks — Joe, Dec 17 '18 at 12:07
Don't avoid Stateless, it's useful> :) However, if it's a page with a Scaffold, you need that state - and keep the ratio one page x one scaffold, you were nesting many in the same page. — Feu, Dec 17 '18 at 12:11
But I want to write the code in different files. For example I write stateless in page1, Page 2 and page 3 I written in different dart file without stateless. Is it fine? — Joe, Dec 17 '18 at 13:12
you can write all that in multiple files regardless of it being stateless ou stateful! — Feu, Dec 17 '18 at 16:51
Any suggestions if you already have such a simple setup and the back button is still not working? Even using the `WillPopScope` and just putting ` onWillPop: () async => Navigator.of(context).pop()` in there doesn't work? — CularBytes, Mar 08 '20 at 12:19

On your 3rd page, try to use

 onWillPop: () {
    Navigator.of(context).pop();
  },

for my case, I should upgrade the flutter master branch to the latest code.

flutter channel master
flutter upgrade --force
flutter doctor -v
