Visual Studio Code – Why is setState function in flutter not working?

I am working with APIs and using a delete method to delete an item with a unique id from a list. The delete method is working but I need to reload the page everytime I want to see the results. I tried to add a setState() function inside a button and call the delete method from there but it is not working. I am not getting any errors however.

Delete method:

Future <void> deleteData(todo) async {
var urlToUpdate = Uri.parse('https://todoapp-api.apps.k8s.gu.se/todos/${todo.id}?key=${testKey}');

try {
  await http.delete(urlToUpdate, headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"}, body: jsonEncode({
    "id": todo.id,
    "title": todo.title,
    "done": todo.done

  }));

} catch (err) {
  print(err);
}

}

setState method:

                child: IconButton(
                  onPressed: () {
                   setState(() {
                   var deleteTodo = TodoItem(id: id, title: '', done: false);
                   deleteData(deleteTodo);
                });
              },

I can’t provide the whole code because it is too large but the delete method comes right after :

class _TodoListState extends State {

and before initState and Widget build.

My TodoItemsList works like this:

 Future fetchPosts() async {
try {
  await getKey();
  final response = await HTTP.get(Uri.parse('${url}${todos}${testKey}'));
  final jsonData = jsonDecode(response.body);


  setState(() {
    TodoItemsList = jsonData;
  });
  

  print(jsonData);

} catch (err) {
  print('Error');
}

}

This empty list is just above the Widget build

 List TodoItemsList = [];

This widget is inside by body property:

    Widget getBody() {
return ListView.builder(
  itemCount: TodoItemsList.length,
  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
  return getCard(TodoItemsList[index]);
});

}

    setState method is used to reflect any change of data over some widget, if you need to remove a element from a list need has that element linked to a widget

    example:
    If you has

    listOfMovie = ['Avatar, Avengers', 'Dune', 'Hulk'];

    ListView.builder(
                itemCount: listOfMovie.length,
                itemBuilder: (_, index) => Text(listOfMovie[index],
));

    then

    child: IconButton(
                  onPressed: () {
                   setState(() {
                   listOfMovie = ['Avatar, Avengers'];                   
                });
              },

    If you notice listOfMovie is linked to ListView widget

    you should wait until the deleteData finished.

    After that, remove the local TodoItem from the list by yourself.

    child: IconButton(
  onPressed: () async {
    var deleteTodo = TodoItem(id: id, title: '', done: false);
    await deleteData(deleteTodo);
    setState(() {
      => remove TodoItem from the local list =<
    });
  }

    Because network request usually takes times. You should display something like CircularProgressIndicator when deleteData is running. But that’s another story.
