How To Implement Persistent Stopwatch In Flutter?

I am implementing a timer in flutter .Here is the structure of the app. Page A (Contains some lists where user clicks and takes it to timer Page). Page B formats ,runs the timer .I

Solution 1:

Here is a minimal working solution. Key points:

• Introduction of a TimerService class that isolates the timer functionality
• TimerService implements ChangeNotifier, which you can subscribe to to receive changes.
• An InheritedWidget is used to provide the service to all widgets of your app. This inherited widget wraps your app widget.
• AnimatedBuilder is used to receive changes from the ChangeNotifier. Subscriptions are handles automatically (no manual addListener/removeListener).

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  final timerService = TimerService();
  runApp(
    TimerServiceProvider( // provide timer service to all widgets of your app
      service: timerService,
      child: MyApp(),
    ),
  );
}

class TimerService extends ChangeNotifier {
  Stopwatch _watch;
  Timer _timer;

  Duration get currentDuration => _currentDuration;
  Duration _currentDuration = Duration.zero;

  bool get isRunning => _timer != null;

  TimerService() {
    _watch = Stopwatch();
  }

  void _onTick(Timer timer) {
    _currentDuration = _watch.elapsed;

    // notify all listening widgets
    notifyListeners();
  }

  void start() {
    if (_timer != null) return;

    _timer = Timer.periodic(Duration(seconds: 1), _onTick);
    _watch.start();

    notifyListeners();
  }

  void stop() {
    _timer?.cancel();
    _timer = null;
    _watch.stop();
    _currentDuration = _watch.elapsed;

    notifyListeners();
  }

  void reset() {
    stop();
    _watch.reset();
    _currentDuration = Duration.zero;

    notifyListeners();
  }

  static TimerService of(BuildContext context) {
    var provider = context.inheritFromWidgetOfExactType(TimerServiceProvider) as TimerServiceProvider;
    return provider.service;
  }
}

class TimerServiceProvider extends InheritedWidget {
  const TimerServiceProvider({Key key, this.service, Widget child}) : super(key: key, child: child);

  final TimerService service;

  @override
  bool updateShouldNotify(TimerServiceProvider old) => service != old.service;
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Service Demo',
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    var timerService = TimerService.of(context);
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(),
      body: Center(
        child: AnimatedBuilder(
          animation: timerService, // listen to ChangeNotifier
          builder: (context, child) {
            // this part is rebuilt whenever notifyListeners() is called
            return Column(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
              children: <Widget>[
                Text('Elapsed: ${timerService.currentDuration}'),
                RaisedButton(
                  onPressed: !timerService.isRunning ? timerService.start : timerService.stop,
                  child: Text(!timerService.isRunning ? 'Start' : 'Stop'),
                ),
                RaisedButton(
                  onPressed: timerService.reset,
                  child: Text('Reset'),
                )
              ],
            );
          },
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
