What is the main purpose of setState in a StatefulWidget?
답변
setState notifies the Flutter framework that the widget's internal state has changed and it needs to rebuild the widget. When setState is called, Flutter schedules a rebuild of the widget to reflect the new state values. Without calling setState, changes to state variables would not trigger a visual update.
2What happens if a state variable is modified without calling setState?
What happens if a state variable is modified without calling setState?
답변
Without calling setState, Flutter is not notified of the change and does not schedule a rebuild. The variable is modified in memory but the user interface remains unchanged until the next rebuild triggered by another cause. This is a common beginner mistake that leads to hard-to-identify bugs.
