I need to implement the functionality that the app exits when back button is presses twice.
I am new to flutter programming and am confused where to implement this functionality in the above code.
FYI Android version 14.
Currently on pressing the back button it just re-navivgates the entire flow in the reverse.
Kindly help.

To implement the functionality where the app exits when the back button is pressed twice, you can use the PopScope widget. This widget allows you to intercept the back button press and perform custom actions. Here’s an example of how you can use it:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

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

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

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
bool canPop = false;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return PopScope(
      canPop: canPop,
      onPopInvoked:  (didPop)  {
        if (!canPop) {
          canPop = true;
          ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
            SnackBar(
              content: Text('Press back again to exit'),
            ),
          );
         
        }
        
      },
      child: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Double Back Press to Exit'),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: Text('Press the back button twice to exit'),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Check this code

 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: WillPopScope(
        onWillPop: () async {
          DateTime currentTime = DateTime.now();
          if (_lastPressedAt == null ||
              currentTime.difference(_lastPressedAt!) > Duration(seconds: 2)) {
            _lastPressedAt = currentTime;
            ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
              SnackBar(
                content: Text('Press back again to exit'),
              ),
            );
            return false;
          }
          return true;
        },
        child: Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            title: Text('Title'),
          ),
          body: Container(),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

Try this code

DateTime currentBackPressTime;

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    ...
    body: WillPopScope(child: getBody(), onWillPop: onWillPop),
  );
}

Future<bool> onWillPop() {
    DateTime now = DateTime.now();
    if (currentBackPressTime == null || 
        now.difference(currentBackPressTime) > Duration(seconds: 2)) {
      currentBackPressTime = now;
      ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(const SnackBar(
        content: Text("Press back to exit"),
      ));
      return Future.value(false);
    }
    return Future.value(true);
  }
