How change the Icon of an IconButton when it is pressed

Question

I want to know how I can change the Icon of an IconButton when it is pressed. (Favorite_border to Favorite). I tried somethings but it doesn't works. Maybe it is easy but I am a beginner and I don't understand very well how it is works.

Update

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:cached_network_image/cached_network_image.dart';
import '../recyclerview/data.dart';
import 'package:watch/constants.dart';

int itemCount = item.length;
List<bool> selected = new List<bool>();

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  initState() {
    for (var i = 0; i < itemCount; i++) {
    selected.add(false);
    }
    super.initState();
  }
 
  Icon notFavorite = Icon(Icons.favorite_border, size: 25,);
  Icon inFavorite = Icon(Icons.favorite, size: 25,);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
         title: Text('Accueil', style: kAppBarStyle,),
          //backgroundColor: Colors.white,  
          elevation: 0,
      ),
      body:  ListView.builder(
        itemCount: itemCount,
        itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
      return Container(
        child: new Row(
          children: <Widget>[
            //Image
            new Container(
              margin: new EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
              child: new CachedNetworkImage(
                imageUrl: item[index].imageURL,
                height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 4,
                width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 2,
                fit: BoxFit.cover,
              ),
            ),
            //Text
            Expanded(
              child: new Row(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
              crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
              mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
              children: <Widget>[
                Spacer(),               
                //Titre
                Container(
                  padding: const EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 75.0, top: 10.0 ),
                  child: Text(
                    item[index].title,
                    style: kItemTitle,
                  ),
                ),
                //Decription
                Container(
                  padding: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0, top: 10.0),
                  child:Text(
                    item[index].description,
                    style: kItemDescription,
                  ),
                ),
                //Favoris
                Spacer(),
                GestureDetector(
                  child: Container(
                    padding: const EdgeInsets.only(right: 10.0, top: 3.0),
                    child: selected.elementAt(index) ? inFavorite : notFavorite,
                  ),
                  onTap: () {
                    setState(() {
                      selected[index] = !selected.elementAt(index);
                    });
                    },
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
    }
    )
  );
}
}

It is a ListView with Images, Texts and the Favorite Button and it works fine.

Solution 1

custom radio button (some IconButton in ListView that change their icons):

main.dart file :

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'my_home_page.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        visualDensity: VisualDensity.adaptivePlatformDensity,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

my_home_page.dart file:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

int itemCount = 5;
List<bool> selected = new List<bool>();

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {

   @override
   initState() {
     for (var i = 0; i < itemCount; i++) {
        selected.add(false);
     }
     super.initState();
   }

  Icon firstIcon = Icon(
    Icons.radio_button_on, // Icons.favorite
    color: Colors.blueAccent, // Colors.red
    size: 35,
  );
  Icon secondIcon = Icon(
    Icons.radio_button_unchecked, // Icons.favorite_border
    color: Colors.grey,
    size: 35,
  );

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: ListView.builder(
            itemCount: itemCount,
            itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
              return IconButton(
                icon: selected.elementAt(index) ? firstIcon : secondIcon,
                onPressed: () {
                  try {
                    // your code that you want this IconButton do
                    setState(() {
                      selected[index] = !selected.elementAt(index);
                    });
                    print('tap on ${index + 1}th IconButton ( change to : ');
                    print(selected[index] ? 'active' : 'deactive' + ' )');
                  } catch (e) {
                    print(e);
                  }
                },
              );
            }),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Solution 2

Copy paste the code and it will work :)

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      theme: ThemeData.dark(),
      home: HomeApp(),
    );
  }
}

class HomeApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeAppState createState() => _HomeAppState();
}

class _HomeAppState extends State<HomeApp> {
  // Using a Bool
  bool addFavorite = false;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Flutter App :)"),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: IconButton(
            icon: Icon(addFavorite ? Icons.favorite : Icons.favorite_border),
            onPressed: () {
              // Setting the state
              setState(() {
                addFavorite = !addFavorite;
              });
            }),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Updating the Code for ListView

class _HomeAppState extends State<HomeApp> {
  // Using a Bool List for list view builder
  List<bool> addFavorite = List<bool>();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Flutter App :)"),
      ),
      body: ListView.builder(
          itemCount: 10,
          itemBuilder: (context, index) {
            // Setting a bool initially
            addFavorite.add(false);
            return IconButton(
                icon: Icon(addFavorite.elementAt(index)
                    ? Icons.favorite
                    : Icons.favorite_border),
                onPressed: () {
                  // Setting the state
                  setState(() {
                    // Changing icon of specific index
                    addFavorite[index] =
                        addFavorite[index] == false ? true : false;
                  });
                });
          }),
    );
  }
}

Solution 3

the IconButton must be in StatefulWidget and use a flag for unselected icon and selected icon:

. . .

bool selected = false;
Icon first_icon = Icon(...);
Icon second_icon = Icon(...);

. . .

 IconButton(
    icon: selected
            ? first_icon 
            : second_icon,
    onPressed: () {
         try {
            // your code that you want this IconButton do
            setState(() {
                selected  = !selected;
            });
         } catch(e) {
             print(e);
         }  
    }),

---

for use in ListView:

. . .

List<bool> selected =  new List<bool>();
Icon first_icon = Icon(...);
Icon second_icon = Icon(...);

. . .

ListView.builder(
     controller: scrollController,
     primary: true,
     ...
     itemCount: _yourListViewLength,
     itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int i) {
        selected.add(false);
        IconButton(
            icon: selected.elementAt(i)
                ? first_icon 
                : second_icon,
           onPressed: () {
             try {
                // your code that you want this IconButton do
                setState(() {
                    selected.elementAt(i) = !selected.elementAt(i);
                });
             } catch(e) {
                 print(e);
             }  
           }),
     },
 )

i hope this help you
