Android Studio – Flutter Error – Method 'setState' isn't defined for the type

I need some help, I tried to make a code in flutter that moves the background image with AnimatedPositioned, but I found the following error:

The method ‘setState’ isn’t defined for the type ‘TerceiraRota’. (Documentation) Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named ‘setState’.

Can someone help me?
Tks!


class TerceiraRota extends StatelessWidget {
  double position=0;
  bool isFlipped=false;
  bool isStart=false;


  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Sad Shrek Adventures"),
      ),

      body: Stack(
        children: [
          AnimatedPositioned(
              top: -100,
              left: position,
              height: 660,
              child: Image.asset('imagens/swamp.jpg'),
              duration: Duration(microseconds: 200)),
          Positioned(
            top:470,
            left: 180,
            child: Container(
              height: 120.0,
              width: 120.0,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(
              image:DecorationImage(
                image:AssetImage(
                  "imagens/shrektriste2.png"
                ),
              )
            ),
          ),
         ),
          Positioned(
            top:400,
            left:MediaQuery.of(context).size.width/2-85,
            child: IconButton(
              icon:Icon(Icons.arrow_back_ios),
              onPressed: () {
                setState(() {
                  position -= 40;
                });
              })
          ),],
      ),
    );
  }
} ```

    You need to use a StatefulWidget, in your code above you have extended StatelessWidget. Since the the StatelessWidget can not hold or modify the state of the widget it does not have the function setState, hence the name Stateless.

    Have a look at the documentation, you can find good examples there.

    You create a StatelessWidget.
    StatelessWidget don’t have state, so… setstate don’t work.

    If you want work with state, change your widget to a statefull widget.

    Android Studio and VsCode make this change easy.
    Put your mouse in Stateless word, click in the yellow lamp and choose "Convert to statefull widget".

    You need to use the StatefulWidget instead of StatelessWidget like this:

    class TerceiraRota extends StatefulWidget {
  const TerceiraRota({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<TerceiraRota> createState() => _TerceiraRotaState();
}

class _TerceiraRotaState extends State<TerceiraRota> {
  double position = 0;
  bool isFlipped = false;
  bool isStart = false;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text("Sad Shrek Adventures"),
      ),
      body: Stack(
        children: [
          AnimatedPositioned(
            top: -100,
            left: position,
            height: 660,
            child: Image.asset('imagens/swamp.jpg'),
            duration: const Duration(microseconds: 200),
          ),
          Positioned(
            top: 470,
            left: 180,
            child: Container(
              height: 120.0,
              width: 120.0,
              decoration: const BoxDecoration(
                  image: DecorationImage(
                image: AssetImage("imagens/shrektriste2.png"),
              )),
            ),
          ),
          Positioned(
            top: 400,
            left: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 2 - 85,
            child: IconButton(
              icon: const Icon(Icons.arrow_back_ios),
              onPressed: () {
                setState(() {
                  position -= 40;
                });
              },
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
