Flutter DataTable -Tap on entire Row

Question

im new to Flutter. I need help on OnTap in DataCell. For example, instead of tapping one cell, I want the Row.

Heres my codes

DataTable(
     columns: <DataColumn>[
        DataColumn(
          label: Text("Title"),
          ),
        DataColumn(
          label: Text("Contacts"),
          ),
         )
        ],
         rows: contracts.map((contract) => DataRow(
             cells: [
               DataCell(Text(contract.title),
                  onTap: () {
                      Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
                              builder: (context) => List(),),
                           );
                         }),
               DataCell(Text(contract.contacts),
                  onTap: () {
                      Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
                              builder: (context) => List(),),
                           );
                         }),).toList()

i want to click on a specific row and it will route to another page also sends the index value of it.

Solution

Had the same issue, realised you could use the onSelectChanged from the DataRow.

Example from the DataTable

rows: searchList.map((item) {
        return DataRow(
          onSelectChanged: (bool value) {
             // ENTER CALLBACK HERE (It's not restricted to use the bool)
          },
          cells: ...

Note, this will make the Checkbox visible, if you do not require this then make sure you force the showCheckboxColumn to false in the DataTable:

    return DataTable(
      showCheckboxColumn: false,
      columns: [...]

Thanks, but what im trying to do is routing it to another page and sending the index value of that row.

This doesn't work since the property rows of DataTable expects a List<DataRow> so you can't assign a List<GestureDetector> to it.

What I ended up doing was just have the same callback for every cell in the row.
