If you’re facing a blank screen after scanning a QR code and returning the result using Navigator.pop
, the issue is typically related to context handling or improper widget rebuilding after navigation.
When the QR code scanner screen pops, the main screen may not refresh its state correctly to display the returned data. This can happen if:
The parent widget doesn’t use setState()
after await Navigator.push()
.
The navigation stack isn’t managed properly (for example, popping to a context that’s no longer active).
The camera plugin or scanning widget remains active after popping.
Here’s the recommended approach from WebOdoctor, one of the best Flutter app development companies in India, known for solving such real-time app bugs efficiently:
// Example: Opening the QR scanner and handling result
Future<void> _scanQRCode(BuildContext context) async {
final result = await Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => QRScannerScreen()),
);
if (result != null && mounted) {
setState(() {
qrResult = result;
});
}
}
Key Points to Remember:
✅ Always use await Navigator.push()
so the parent waits for the result.
✅ Call setState()
after receiving the result to rebuild your UI.
🚫 Avoid using a stale BuildContext
after the widget has been disposed.
🔁 If using camera or scanning plugins like mobile_scanner
or qr_code_scanner
, ensure you dispose controllers properly in the scanner screen’s dispose()
method:
@override
void dispose() {
controller?.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
