如何从 flutter 的列表中编辑所选项目

Question

I have been trying to add an edit function to my to do list in which a user can select the item the user wants to edit, then that should pop a dialog where there is a textfield to enter the new value of the selected item and a Button that saves the changes. Currently I have a function that calls the array where the tasks are stored then it is supposed to triger the selected item using index so that at the end that selected value could be given a new value when onPressed, see this edit functionality as instagrams one except it edits text.

The problem comes when calling that function into the dialog's edit button because I am doing it like this onPressed: () => _editToDoItem(_controller.text, index) and since I have to pass 2 parameters there, the error I am getting is Undefined name 'index' . How can this problem be solved to make this edit function work?. By the way, I haven't get to try the edit function because of this error so please correct me if the function or any part of the code is incorrect.

everything to do with the edit function below.

  List<ToDoElement> _toDoItems = [];
  TextEditingController _controller = TextEditingController();

  // this function adds a task to the list
  void _addToDoItem(String task) {
    if(task.isNotEmpty) {
      setState(() {  
        _toDoItems.add(ToDoElement(task, DateTime.now()));
      });
    }
  }

  // this is the function that is supposed to edit the selected index from the _toDoItems array
  void _editToDoItem(String newText, int index) {
    setState(() {
      _toDoItems[index].task = newText;
    });
  }

  _editDialog(BuildContext context) {
    return showDialog(context: context, builder: (context) {
      return Dialog(
        child: Container(
          height: 180,
          width: 100,
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
                Container(
                  height: 60, 
                  child: TextField(
                    controller: _controller,
                    autofocus: true,
                    style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18,),
                  )
                ), 
                Container(
                  height: 65,
                  width: double.infinity,
                  margin: EdgeInsets.only(top: 5,),
                  child: RaisedButton(
                    textColor: Colors.white,
                    color: Colors.red,
                    child: Text('EDIT'),
                    onPressed: () {
                      _editToDoItem(_controller.text, index); // error on index, Undefined name 'index'
                      FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(FocusNode());
                    },
                  ),
                ),                                          
            ],
          ),
        ),

Answer 1

You can copy paste run full code below
You can provide index to _editDialog then _editToDoItem can get index
code snippet

_editDialog(BuildContext context, int index)
...
FlatButton(
      child: Text(
        'Edit',
        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red, fontSize: 16.5),
      ),
      onPressed: () => _editDialog(context, index),
    ),
