Semantics class
A widget that annotates the widget tree with a description of the meaning of the widgets.
Used by accessibility tools, search engines, and other semantic analysis software to determine the meaning of the application.
See also:
- MergeSemantics, which marks a subtree as being a single node for accessibility purposes.
- ExcludeSemantics, which excludes a subtree from the semantics tree (which might be useful if it is, e.g., totally decorative and not important to the user).
RenderObject.semanticsAnnotator
, the rendering library API through which the Semantics widget is actually implemented.- SemanticsNode, the object used by the rendering library to represent semantics in the semantics tree.
- SemanticsDebugger, an overlay to help visualize the semantics tree. Can be enabled using WidgetsApp.showSemanticsDebugger or MaterialApp.showSemanticsDebugger.

Creates a semantic annotation using SemanticsProperties. [...]
const
Properties
- container → bool
-
If container is true, this widget will introduce a new
node in the semantics tree. Otherwise, the semantics will be
merged with the semantics of any ancestors (if the ancestor allows that). [...]
final
- excludeSemantics → bool
-
Whether to replace all child semantics with this node. [...]
final
- explicitChildNodes → bool
-
Whether descendants of this widget are allowed to add semantic information
to the SemanticsNode annotated by this widget. [...]
final
- properties → SemanticsProperties
-
Contains properties used by assistive technologies to make the application
more accessible.
final
- child → Widget
-
The widget below this widget in the tree. [...]
final, inherited
- 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
-
createRenderObject(
BuildContext context) → RenderSemanticsAnnotations -
Creates an instance of the RenderObject class that this
RenderObjectWidget represents, using the configuration described by this
RenderObjectWidget. [...]
override
-
debugFillProperties(
DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void -
Add additional properties associated with the node. [...]
override
-
updateRenderObject(
BuildContext context, covariant RenderSemanticsAnnotations renderObject) → void -
Copies the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget to the
given RenderObject, which will be of the same type as returned by this
object's createRenderObject. [...]
override
-
createElement(
) → SingleChildRenderObjectElement -
RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.
inherited
-
debugDescribeChildren(
) → List< DiagnosticsNode> -
Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's
children. [...]
@protected, inherited
-
didUnmountRenderObject(
covariant RenderObject renderObject) → void -
A render object previously associated with this widget has been removed
from the tree. The given RenderObject will be of the same type as
returned by this object's createRenderObject.
@protected, inherited
-
noSuchMethod(
Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
-
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. [...]
inherited
-
toStringShallow(
{String joiner: ', ', DiagnosticLevel minLevel: DiagnosticLevel.debug }) → String -
Returns a one-line detailed description of the object. [...]
inherited
-
toStringShort(
) → String -
A short, textual description of this widget.
inherited
Operators
-
operator ==(
dynamic other) → bool -
The equality operator. [...]
