Flutter Add page specific app bar actions

Question

So i have a main page with scaffold, app bar and drawer. My question is is there a way to add specific app bar actions from the child pages? Or do i have to add them all and conditionally show/hide them on the main page?

Answer 1

Usually, you should use one Scaffold() for each page and you should not nest Scaffolds.

Inside your Scaffold() you have your AppBar(). So you can control each page appbar actions with no problem.

What I mean is that each page, has this kind of code:

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      drawer: MyDrawer(),
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("your screen title"),
        actions: <Widget>[
          IconButton(
            icon: Icon(Icons.security),
            onPressed: () { print("icon pressed"); },
          ),
        ],
      body: Container(),
    );
  }
