this is the tab bar view which its return the chat page widget so the parent widget is home screen I have created a static variable in my home screen widget
I want to send data from chat page to its parent class which is home screen I'm sure the value of selected value is changing but it needs me a hot reload to update the UI in the app bar if the selected value is true it return some widget else it returns another widget like this :
While the
ChatPageis inside the HomePage, you can another bool to theChatPage. To update this bool from ChatPage, you can use callback method.Now replace the
HomeScreen.selectedwithwidget.isHomeScreenSelectedon_ChatPageState. To update the value calland Use ChatPage like
Make sure to call setState to update the UI.
