Currently facing a problem with conditional logic and PageView widget. Let's say that the PageView will dynamically generate 3 pages. In those 3 pages different widgets will be generated. One of the widgets is a button (called "Next"), which is a PageController, but that widget has to be replaced by a button widget that is supposed to submit (called "Submit") the whole form (the PageView is wrapped in a form).
It seems obvious, just write conditional logic that compares the current page of the PageView to the length of the PageView (PageView is populated with a List, so it is easy to get the length). Then switch the widgets when the right conditions meet: when current page equals to 3, change the widget. Unfortunately, the PageView renders the "Next" button on every page. So only when I get to the last page and then click "Next" again will it change to "Submit". It is supposed to be "Submit", when the user gets on the last page.

EDIT 1: This is the updated code I use for the button to populate in the PageView. I am setting a String to initial value "Next" then updating it when _indexOfCarouselItem + 2 == _triviaDataList.length is true. The updated value will be "Submit", when the condition is met.
Widget _triviaControlButton() {
return RaisedButton(
child: Text(buttonText),
onPressed: () {
_pageController.nextPage(
duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 100),
curve: Curves.easeInOut);
if (_indexOfCarouselItem + 2 == _triviaDataList.length) {
setState(() {
buttonText = "Submit";
});
}
if (_indexOfCarouselItem < _triviaDataList.length) {
setState(() {
_start = TRIVIA_STARTING_TIME;
_indexOfCarouselItem += 1;
});
}
print(_indexOfCarouselItem);
print(_triviaDataList.length);
},
);
}
