Hello DevTeam,
I have a strange problem in my application I have a signup page with several textformfields inside a ListView and the ListView is a child to the Form.
when i reach the last formfield inside the ListView i need to scroll up the screen to actually see what i am typing inside the field. When i do scroll up the textformfields which go out of focus are losing the entered text and are initialised as null. I am not sure what i am missing or do i have to use some other way to make sure i retain the TextFormField values. I have tried to use the controller in every TextFormField then it is retaining the value even if I scroll up. But, the properties of the object e.g, hostelData.hostelName are only updated first time and the changes are not reflected in the object property from the second time. I am not so sure what i am missing? Please can someone help me in solving this.
Please excuse my mistakes in posting as i am new to programming and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have posted the code below so that you can reproduce the same problem.
