How do you hide widgets when you are using/tapped into a TextFormField in flutter?

Question

I would like to hide a Text widget when a user is currently tapped into a TextFormField to type. And when they aren't using it, I would like for it to be visible again. Only problem is I don't see a way to accomplish this. Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

The easiest way is to check whether the user is using TextField or not is by detecting whether the keyboard is visible or not. For that follow this stack-overflow post. Once you know whether keyboard is visible or not, you can simply update the state(setState()) and decide whether to hide the widget or not. Follow this stack-overflow post as a reference to hide and un-hide widgets in flutter.
