使用页面视图和底部导航更改页面时停止计时器

Question

I use the BottomNavigationBar that switches between the display of 5 different pages. Changing the pages is done with the help of PageController together with the PageView widget.

Within the pages, there are timers that run when entering and exiting the page and pull data from the server every X time by using Timer.periodic .

Because of the use of PageView , the pages are built at the same time and all the timers are running, how can the timers be canceled when moving from page to page through each page by itself?

Answer 1

you could listen to the PageController and stop the timer. Like this

pageController.addListener(() { 
      if(controller.page == 1){
        timer.cancel();
      }
    });
