Flutter - setState not updating inner Stateful Widget

问题

Basically I am trying to make an app whose content will be updated with an async function that takes information from a website, but when I do try to set the new state, it doesn't reload the new content. If I debug the app, it shows that the current content is the new one, but after "rebuilding" the whole widget, it doesn't show the new info.

Edit: loadData ( ) method, basically read a URL with http package, the URL contains a JSON file whose content changes every 5 minutes with new news. For example a .json file with sports real-time scoreboards whose scores are always changing, so the content should always change with new results.

class mainWidget extends StatefulWidget
{    
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() => new mainWidgetState();
}

class mainWidgetState extends State<mainWidget>
{

  List<Widget> _data;
  Timer timer;

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
     return new ListView(
              children: _data);
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    timer = new Timer.periodic(new Duration(seconds: 2), (Timer timer) async {
      String s = await loadData();
      this.setState(() {
        _data = <Widget> [new childWidget(s)];
      });
      });
  }
}

class childWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  childWidget(String s){
    _title = s;
  }

  Widget _title;

  createState() => new childState();
}

class childState extends State<gameCardS> {

  Widget _title;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new GestureDetector(onTap: foo(),
       child: new Card(child: new Text(_title));

  }

  initState()
  {
    super.initState();
    _title = widget._title;
  }
}

This should sort your problem out. Basically you always want your Widgets created in your build method hierarchy.

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(new MaterialApp(home: new Scaffold(body: new MainWidget())));

class MainWidget extends StatefulWidget {
    @override
    State createState() => new MainWidgetState();
}

class MainWidgetState extends State<MainWidget> {

    List<ItemData> _data = new List();
    Timer timer;

    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return new ListView(children: _data.map((item) => new ChildWidget(item)).toList());
    }

    @override
    void initState() {
        super.initState();
        timer = new Timer.periodic(new Duration(seconds: 2), (Timer timer) async {
            ItemData data = await loadData();
            this.setState(() {
                _data = <ItemData>[data];
            });
        });
    }


    @override
    void dispose() {
        super.dispose();
        timer.cancel();
    }

    static int testCount = 0;

    Future<ItemData> loadData() async {
        testCount++;
        return new ItemData("Testing #$testCount");
    }
}

class ChildWidget extends StatefulWidget {

    ItemData _data;

    ChildWidget(ItemData data) {
        _data = data;
    }

    @override
    State<ChildWidget> createState() => new ChildState();
}

class ChildState extends State<ChildWidget> {

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return new GestureDetector(onTap: () => foo(),
            child: new Padding(
                padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 12.0, horizontal: 24.0),
                child: new Card(
                    child: new Container(
                        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
                        child: new Text(widget._data.title),
                    ),
                ),
            )
        );
    }

    foo() {
        print("Card Tapped: " + widget._data.toString());
    }
}

class ItemData {
    final String title;

    ItemData(this.title);

    @override
    String toString() {
        return 'ItemData{title: $title}';
    }
}

回答2:

don't use a future within a future; use different function that will return each future individually like this

 List<Requests> requestsData;
 List<DocumentSnapshot> requestsDocumentData;
 var docId;



  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    getRequestDocs();
  }

  Future<FirebaseUser> getData() {
    var _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
    return _auth.currentUser();
  }

  getRequestDocs() {
    getData().then((FirebaseUser user) {
      this.setState(() {
        docId = user.uid;
      });
    });

    FireDb()
        .getDocuments("vendorsrequests")
        .then((List<DocumentSnapshot> documentSnapshots) {
      this.setState(() {
        requestsDocumentData = documentSnapshots;
      });
    });

    for (DocumentSnapshot request in requestsDocumentData) {
      this.setState(() {
        requestsData.add(Requests(
            request.documentID,
            request.data['requests'],
            Icons.data_usage,
            request.data['requests'][0],
            "location",
            "payMessage",
            "budget",
            "tokensRequired",
            "date"));
      });
    }
  }

you can create individual functions for

  FireDb().getDocuments("vendorsrequests")
            .then((List<DocumentSnapshot> documentSnapshots) {
          this.setState(() {
            requestsDocumentData = documentSnapshots;
          });
        });

and

  for (DocumentSnapshot request in requestsDocumentData) {
          this.setState(() {
            requestsData.add(Requests(
                request.documentID,
                request.data['requests'],
                Icons.data_usage,
                request.data['requests'][0],
                "location",
                "payMessage",
                "budget",
                "tokensRequired",
                "date"));
          });
        }

I found that the use of

with setState is must

This was really giving me headache and no Google results were working. What finally worked was so simple. In your child build() assign the value to the local variable before you return. Once I did this everything worked with subsequent data loads. I even took out the initState() code.

Many thanks to @Simon. Your answer somehow inspired me to try this.

In your childState:

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
_title = widget._title; // <<< ADDING THIS HERE IS THE FIX
return new GestureDetector(onTap: foo(),
   child: new Card(child: new Text(_title));

}

Hopefully this works in your code. For me, I use a Map for the entire JSON record passed in, rather than a single String, but that should still work.
