Transition from the "active" to the "inactive" lifecycle state.
mustCallSuper">@mustCallSuperinherited
deactivateChild(Element child) → void

debugDeactivated() → void
Called, in debug mode, after children have been deactivated (see deactivate).

debugVisitOnstageChildren(ElementVisitor visitor) → void
Calls the argument for each child considered onstage.
inherited
dependOnInheritedElement(InheritedElement ancestor, {Object? aspect}) → InheritedWidget
Registers this build context with ancestor such that when ancestor's widget changes this build context is rebuilt.
inherited
dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType<T extends InheritedWidget>({Object? aspect}) → T?
Obtains the nearest widget of the given type T, which must be the type of a concrete InheritedWidget subclass, and registers this build context with that widget such that when that widget changes (or a new widget of that type is introduced, or the widget goes away), this build context is rebuilt so that it can obtain new values from that widget.
inherited
describeElement(String name, {DiagnosticsTreeStyle style = DiagnosticsTreeStyle.errorProperty}) → DiagnosticsNode
Returns a description of the Element associated with the current build context.
inherited
describeMissingAncestor({required Type expectedAncestorType}) → List<DiagnosticsNode>
Adds a description of a specific type of widget missing from the current build context's ancestry tree.
inherited
describeOwnershipChain(String name) → DiagnosticsNode
Adds a description of the ownership chain from a specific Element to the error report.
inherited
describeWidget(String name, {DiagnosticsTreeStyle style = DiagnosticsTreeStyle.errorProperty}) → DiagnosticsNode
Returns a description of the Widget associated with the current build context.
inherited
detachRenderObject() → void
Remove renderObject from the render tree.
inherited
didChangeDependencies() → void
Called when a dependency of this element changes.
mustCallSuper">@mustCallSuperinherited
dispatchNotification(Notification notification) → void
Start bubbling this notification at the given build context.
inherited
doesDependOnInheritedElement(InheritedElement ancestor) → bool
Returns true if dependOnInheritedElement was previously called with ancestor.

findAncestorRenderObjectOfType<T extends RenderObject>() → T?
Returns the RenderObject object of the nearest ancestor RenderObjectWidget widget that is an instance of the given type T.
inherited
findAncestorStateOfType<T extends State<StatefulWidget>>() → T?
Returns the State object of the nearest ancestor StatefulWidget widget that is an instance of the given type T.
inherited
findAncestorWidgetOfExactType<T extends Widget>() → T?
Returns the nearest ancestor widget of the given type T, which must be the type of a concrete Widget subclass.
inherited
findRenderObject() → RenderObject?
The current RenderObject for the widget. If the widget is a RenderObjectWidget, this is the render object that the widget created for itself. Otherwise, it is the render object of the first descendant RenderObjectWidget.
inherited
findRootAncestorStateOfType<T extends State<StatefulWidget>>() → T?
Returns the State object of the furthest ancestor StatefulWidget widget that is an instance of the given type T.
inherited
forgetChild(Element child) → void

inherited
getElementForInheritedWidgetOfExactType<T extends InheritedWidget>() → InheritedElement?
Obtains the element corresponding to the nearest widget of the given type T, which must be the type of a concrete InheritedWidget subclass.
inherited
inflateWidget(Widget newWidget, Object? newSlot) → Element

inherited
performRebuild() → void
Calls the StatelessWidget.build method of the StatelessWidget object (for stateless widgets) or the State.build method of the State object (for stateful widgets) and then updates the widget tree.
inherited
reassemble() → void
Called whenever the application is reassembled during debugging, for example during hot reload.
mustCallSuper">@mustCallSuperprotected">@protectedinherited
rebuild() → void
Cause the widget to update itself. In debug builds, also verify various invariants.
inherited
toDiagnosticsNode({String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) → DiagnosticsNode
Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.

toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) → String

visitChildElements(ElementVisitor visitor) → void
Wrapper around visitChildren for BuildContext.
inherited
visitChildren(ElementVisitor visitor) → void
Calls the argument for each child. Must be overridden by subclasses that support having children.
