Can't get button press to work in flutter

Question

Ok I\'m pretty new to flutter/ dart so go easy on me. I\'m just trying to make a very simple app where when you press a button some text updates telling you how many times

Answer 1

Added a Material App and rewired the RaisedButton a little. I think it was how you had onPressed wired up.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

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

class Buttonz extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ButtonBeingPressed createState() => new _ButtonBeingPressed();
}

class _ButtonBeingPressed extends State {
  int _timesPressed = 0;
  _buttonWasPressed() {
    setState(() {
      _timesPressed++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return  new Column(
      children: [
        new Text(
            'The button was pressed $_timesPressed times'),
        new RaisedButton(
          child: const Text('Press meh'),
          onPressed: () {
            _buttonWasPressed();
          },
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}
