How to navigate without context in flutter app?
I have an app that recieves push notification using OneSignal. I have made a notification opened handler that should open specific screen on click of the notification. How can i navigate to a screen without context. or how can I open specific screen on app startup. My code:
OneSignal.shared.setNotificationOpenedHandler((notification) {
var notify = notification.notification.payload.additionalData;
if (notify["type"] == "message") {
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => DM(user: notify['id']),
),
);
}
if (notify["type"] == "user") {
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => Profileo(notify["id"]),
),
);
}
if (notify["type"] == "post") {
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => ViewPost(notify["id"]),
),
);
}
});
I am able to achieve this when the app is opened for the first time but It only opens the homepage If i close the app and even if I re-open it. I guess that is because the context is changed.
Please Help!!
Look at this here: https://github.com/brianegan/flutter_redux/issues/5#issuecomment-361215074
You can set a global key for your navigation:
final GlobalKey<NavigatorState> navigatorKey = GlobalKey<NavigatorState>();
Pass it to MaterialApp:
new MaterialApp(
title: 'MyApp',
onGenerateRoute: generateRoute,
navigatorKey: navigatorKey,
);
Push routes:
navigatorKey.currentState.pushNamed('/someRoute');
You can use this wonderful plugin: https://pub.dev/packages/get
Description from the package: A consistent navigation library that lets you navigate between screens, open dialogs, and display snackbars from anywhere in your code without context.
Get.to(NextScreen()); // look at this simplicity :)
Get.back(); // pop()
Get.off(NextScreen()); // clears the previous routes and opens a new screen.
