Flutter Navigation pop to index 1

Question

I am recursively adding routes to the navigator. There could be 20 views or more. Pop works as advertised, but I would like to pop to index 1 and remove all push history.

Answer 1

I tried other answers in this post, and somehow they causing the following exception.

To safely refer to a widget's ancestor in its dispose() method, save a reference to the ancestor by calling dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType() in the widget's didChangeDependencies() method.

The relevant error-causing widget was
    MaterialApp 
lib/main.dart:72
When the exception was thrown, this was the stack
#0      Element._debugCheckStateIsActiveForAncestorLookup.<anonymous closure> 
package:flutter/…/widgets/framework.dart:3781
#1      Element._debugCheckStateIsActiveForAncestorLookup 
package:flutter/…/widgets/framework.dart:3795
#2      Element.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType 
package:flutter/…/widgets/framework.dart:3837
#3      Theme.of 
package:flutter/…/material/theme.dart:128
#4      XXxxXX.build.<anonymous closure> 
package:xxx/widgets/xxx.dart:33
...

The following answer fixed the issue. https://stackoverflow.com/a/52048127/2641128

Navigator.pushNamedAndRemoveUntil(context, '/', (_) => false);

Answer 2

For me I used this when pushing a new page:

widget = MyWidget();
Route route = CupertinoPageRoute(builder: (context) => widget, settings:RouteSettings(name: widget.toStringShort()));
Navigator.push(context, route);

Then to go back to specific page:

Navigator.of(context).popUntil((route) => route.settings.name == "MyWidget");

//========================================================
          new ListTile(
            title: new RaisedButton(
              child: new Text("POP until"),
              onPressed: () {
                var route = new MaterialPageRoute(
                  builder: (BuildContext context) =>
                      new NextPage3(value:"hi there from 3"),
                );
               //Navigator.pop(context, ModalRoute.withName('/'));
                Navigator.popUntil(context,ModalRoute.withName('/'));                
              },
            ),
          ),
//========================================================

replace .pop with .popUntil, actually works very elegantly.
