I have a screen in my Flutter app that contains a pageview. In that pageview are four stateful widgets. I need to be able to access the members of the first three widgets so I can get the data from them, bring it into the main screen class, and send it to the fourth widget. Below is a model of what I'm trying to accomplish.
I'm thinking that I can do this with methods in each widget's state class but when I create a method there, I can't access it anywhere else even if it's public.
An example of one of the widgets:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class WidgetSample extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_WidgetSampleState createState() => _WidgetSampleState();
}
class _WidgetSampleState extends State<WidgetSample> {
TextEditingController _sampleController = new TextEditingController();
//I want to access this method through an instance of the WidgetSample class
String getTextFromField(){
return _sampleController.text;
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
child: TextField(
controller: _sampleController,
),
);
}
}
I have tried creating a copy of the method in the widget sample class that calls the method in the state class but that hasn't worked.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
