how to hide Bottom Navigation Bar on new screen in flutter?

Question

Just like here when I click on the timer, the Bottom navigation bar was disappeared. I want to implement the same thing on flutter. Whenever I click on Bottom Navigation Bar Item, for the new screen the Bottom Navigation Bar should not appear.

Here is my code. My Bottom Navigation Bar has four items and I want to hide the bottom navigation bar when I route to a new screen.

class MyFeedScreen extends StatefulWidget {
     @override
  _MyFeedScreenState createState() => _MyFeedScreenState();
}

class _MyFeedScreenState extends State<MyFeedScreen> {
  int _bottomNavIndex = 0;

  Widget pageCaller(int index) {
    switch (index) {
      case 0:
        {
          return Category();
        }
      case 1:
        {
          return Feed();
        }
      case 3:
        {
          return Settings();
        }
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    SizeConfig().init(context);
    return Scaffold(
      body: pageCaller(_bottomNavIndex),
      bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
        backgroundColor: klogoBlue,
        selectedItemColor: Color(0xfff5f5f5),
        unselectedItemColor: Color(0xfff5f5f5),
        selectedFontSize: 12.0,
        type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
        currentIndex: _bottomNavIndex,
        onTap: (index) {
          setState(() {
            _bottomNavIndex = index;
          });
        },
        items: [
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Padding(
              padding:
                  EdgeInsets.only(top: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Icon(Icons.category),
            ),
            title: Padding(
              padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(
                  vertical: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Text('Category'),
            ),
          ),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Padding(
              padding:
                  EdgeInsets.only(top: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Icon(FontAwesomeIcons.newspaper),
            ),
            title: Padding(
              padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(
                  vertical: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Text('My Feed'),
            ),
          ),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Padding(
              padding:
                  EdgeInsets.only(top: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Icon(Icons.refresh),
            ),
            title: Padding(
              padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(
                  vertical: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Text('Refresh'),
            ),
          ),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Padding(
              padding:
                  EdgeInsets.only(top: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Icon(Icons.settings),
            ),
            title: Padding(
              padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(
                  vertical: SizeConfig.blockSizeVertical * 0.60),
              child: Text('Settings'),
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );

Answer 1

You can copy paste run full code below
You can check onTap index and do Navigator.push for specific button

code snippet

void _onItemTapped(int index) {

    if (index != 2) {
      setState(() {
        _bottomNavIndex = index;
      });

      print(_bottomNavIndex);
    } else {
      Navigator.of(context).push(
        MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => Settings()),
      );
    }

  }

  Widget pageCaller(int index) {
    switch (index) {
      case 0:
        {
          return Category();
        }
      case 1:
        {
          return Feed();
        }
    }
  }

Answer 2

You can try this method

    Navigator.of(context, rootNavigator: true).push(MaterialPageRoute(
              builder: (_) => NewScreen(),
            ),
          );

If we are using multiple routes in single app and want to use top level routes this code is working thanks.
