This can be achieved by adding a controller to the TextField of type TextEditingController .
Here is how the output is going to look.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter TextField Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter TextField Demo'),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
@override
_MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
String _inputtext;
TextEditingController inputtextField = TextEditingController();
void _processText() {
setState(() {
_inputtext = inputtextField.text;
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(widget.title),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
child: TextField(
controller: inputtextField,
decoration: InputDecoration(
border: OutlineInputBorder(),
labelText: 'Enter some text'
),
),
),
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
child: Text(
'$_inputtext',
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.display1,
),
),
RaisedButton(
onPressed: _processText,
child: Text('Process Text'),
)
],
),
),
);
}
}
Hope this is helpful to you.
