Flutter: Update Widgets On Resume?

You can listen to lifecycle events by doing this for example :

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

class LifecycleEventHandler extends WidgetsBindingObserver {
  final AsyncCallback resumeCallBack;
  final AsyncCallback suspendingCallBack;

  LifecycleEventHandler({
    this.resumeCallBack,
    this.suspendingCallBack,
  });

  @override
  Future<void> didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) async {
    switch (state) {
      case AppLifecycleState.resumed:
        if (resumeCallBack != null) {
          await resumeCallBack();
        }
        break;
      case AppLifecycleState.inactive:
      case AppLifecycleState.paused:
      case AppLifecycleState.detached:
        if (suspendingCallBack != null) {
          await suspendingCallBack();
        }
        break;
    }
  }
}



class AppWidgetState extends State<AppWidget> {
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(
      LifecycleEventHandler(resumeCallBack: () async => setState(() {
        // do something
      }))
    );
  }
  ...
}
