Navigation in Flutter

Understanding Routing and


Navigation in Flutter Apps
Introduction to Navigation
• Navigation allows users to move between
different screens (routes) in a Flutter app.
• Flutter provides the Navigator class to manage
a stack-based navigation system.
• Common navigation actions include pushing
new screens and popping back to previous ones.
Types of Navigation
• Stack-based navigation (Push/Pop)
• Named routes navigation
• Bottom navigation
• Drawer navigation
Understanding `Navigator` and `Route`

• `Navigator` manages the stack of routes.


• `Route` represents a screen in Flutter.
• `Navigator.push()` adds a new route to the
stack.
• `Navigator.pop()` removes the current route
from the stack.
Using `Navigator.push()` and
`Navigator.pop()`
• `Navigator.push(context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) =>
NewScreen(),),)` moves to a new screen.

• `Navigator.pop(context)` returns to the


previous screen.
Named Routes and `MaterialPageRoute`
Named routes allow navigation without defining
routes inline.
1. Define routes in `MaterialApp`
routes: {
'/home': (context) => HomeScreen(),
'/settings': (context) => SettingsScreen(),
}

2. Navigate using `Navigator.pushNamed(context,


'/settings')`
Assignment
1. Explain the concept of navigation in Flutter and why
it is essential for app development.
2. Differentiate between push and pop navigation
methods in Flutter. Provide code examples.
3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
using named routes over anonymous routes in
Flutter.
4. How does Navigator.pushNamed() differ from
Navigator.push()? When should you use it?
