i want to code a POS for german ‘Fischbrötchen’. My problem is that the "View" of the Ordertabel dosn’t update. I tried man things but nothing worked… can someone help me to point out my Problem ?
So when i click a button a Order should add to the Orders List and then update the View to display the order.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {

There is so many problems here, that I cannot list them one by one.
The basic underlying problem here is that you think having a global variable is a good method to keep your state. It is not. Never has been. In no programming language in the last quarter of a century.
To hold your state (in your case I guess it’s
orders
) use one of the state management patterns.I suggest taking a look at
Provider
first. Not because it’s the best, but because it is the easiest and explains your problem clearly:Simple app state management
Once your applications get larger, my personal preference is BLoC, but that is a little to complex for this problem.
Deleted my previous answer and tested your code… and got it working now.
I see you have a Function named update() and you’re even using it there, but should use it somewhere else as a callback Function. A callback Function helps you to edit values in your "previous" Widget that called this Widget. Read more here:
How to pass callback in Flutter
Also you have setState() in initState. Don’t see the reason to have this there either. You should use setState in initState only for some kind of asyncronus reason, as explained here: Importance of Calling SetState inside initState
Call setState in "previous" Widget on button press after adding your item by using a callback Function (for short keeping, here is only the modified code):
