MaterialApp class

An application that uses material design.

A convenience widget that wraps a number of widgets that are commonly required for material design applications. It builds upon a WidgetsApp by adding material-design specific functionality, such as AnimatedTheme and GridPaper.

The MaterialApp configures the top-level Navigator to search for routes in the following order:

  1. For the / route, the home property, if non-null, is used.

  2. Otherwise, the routes table is used, if it has an entry for the route.

  3. Otherwise, onGenerateRoute is called, if provided. It should return a non-null value for any valid route not handled by home and routes.

  4. Finally if all else fails onUnknownRoute is called.

If a Navigator is created, at least one of these options must handle the / route, since it is used when an invalid initialRoute is specified on startup (e.g. by another application launching this one with an intent on Android; see Window.defaultRouteName).

This widget also configures the observer of the top-level Navigator (if any) to perform Hero animations.

If home, routes, onGenerateRoute, and onUnknownRoute are all null, and builder is not null, then no Navigator is created.

Properties

builder → TransitionBuilder
A builder for inserting widgets above the Navigator but below the other widgets created by the WidgetsApp widget, or for replacing the Navigator entirely. [...]
final
checkerboardOffscreenLayers → bool
Turns on checkerboarding of layers rendered to offscreen bitmaps.
final
checkerboardRasterCacheImages → bool
Turns on checkerboarding of raster cache images.
final
color → Color
The primary color to use for the application in the operating system interface. [...]
final
debugShowCheckedModeBanner → bool
Turns on a little "DEBUG" banner in checked mode to indicate that the app is in checked mode. This is on by default (in checked mode), to turn it off, set the constructor argument to false. In release mode this has no effect. [...]
final
debugShowMaterialGrid → bool
Turns on a GridPaper overlay that paints a baseline grid Material apps. [...]
final
home → Widget
The widget for the default route of the app (Navigator.defaultRouteName, which is /). [...]
final
initialRoute → String
The name of the first route to show, if a Navigator is built. [...]
final
locale → Locale
The initial locale for this app's Localizations widget is based on this value. [...]
final
localeListResolutionCallback → LocaleListResolutionCallback
This callback is responsible for choosing the app's locale when the app is started, and when the user changes the device's locale. [...]
final
localeResolutionCallback → LocaleResolutionCallback
null [...]
final
localizationsDelegates → Iterable<LocalizationsDelegate>
The delegates for this app's Localizations widget. [...]
final
A key to use when building the Navigator. [...]
final
The list of observers for the Navigator created for this app. [...]
final
onGenerateRoute → RouteFactory
The route generator callback used when the app is navigated to a named route. [...]
final
onGenerateTitle → GenerateAppTitle
If non-null this callback function is called to produce the app's title string, otherwise title is used. [...]
final
onUnknownRoute → RouteFactory
Called when onGenerateRoute fails to generate a route, except for the initialRoute. [...]
final
routes → Map<String, WidgetBuilder>
The application's top-level routing table. [...]
final
showPerformanceOverlay → bool
Turns on a performance overlay. [...]
final
showSemanticsDebugger → bool
Turns on an overlay that shows the accessibility information reported by the framework.
final
supportedLocales → Iterable<Locale>
The list of locales that this app has been localized for. [...]
final
theme → ThemeData
The colors to use for the application's widgets.
final
title → String
A one-line description used by the device to identify the app for the user. [...]
final
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object. [...]
read-only, inherited
key → Key
Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree. [...]
final, inherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Methods

createState() → _MaterialAppState
Creates the mutable state for this widget at a given location in the tree. [...]
override
createElement() → StatefulElement
Creates a StatefulElement to manage this widget's location in the tree. [...]
inherited
debugDescribeChildren() → List<DiagnosticsNode>
Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children. [...]
@protected, inherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void
Add additional properties associated with the node. [...]

toDiagnosticsNode({String name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle style }) → DiagnosticsNode
Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by toStringDeep. [...]
inherited
toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel: DiagnosticLevel.debug }) → String
Returns a string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne: '', String prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel: DiagnosticLevel.debug }) → String
Returns a string representation of this node and its descendants. [...]
