[timer] Flutter Countdown Timer

How can I do to put the value passed in the construction, to make a timer that rounds to the first decimal and shows at the child text of my RaisedButton? I've tried but without luck. I manage to make work the callback function with a simple Timer but no periodic and with no update of value in real time in the text...

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:ui';
import 'dart:async';

class TimerButton extends StatefulWidget {
  final Duration timerTastoPremuto;


  TimerButton(this.timerTastoPremuto);

  @override
  _TimerButtonState createState() => _TimerButtonState();
}

class _TimerButtonState extends State<TimerButton> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      margin: EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
      height: 135.0,
      width: 135.0,
      child: new RaisedButton(
        elevation: 100.0,
        color: Colors.white.withOpacity(.8),
        highlightElevation: 0.0,
        onPressed: () {
          int _start = widget.timerTastoPremuto.inMilliseconds;

          const oneDecimal = const Duration(milliseconds: 100);
          Timer _timer = new Timer.periodic(
              oneDecimal,
                  (Timer timer) =>
                  setState(() {
                    if (_start < 100) {
                      _timer.cancel();
                    } else {
                      _start = _start - 100;
                    }
                  }));

        },
        splashColor: Colors.red,
        highlightColor: Colors.red,
        //shape: RoundedRectangleBorder e tutto il resto uguale
        shape: BeveledRectangleBorder(
            side: BorderSide(color: Colors.black, width: 2.5),
            borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(15.0)),
        child: new Text(
          "$_start",
          style: new TextStyle(fontFamily: "Minim", fontSize: 50.0),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Here is my Timer widget, not related to the Question but may help someone.

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class OtpTimer extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _OtpTimerState createState() => _OtpTimerState();
}

class _OtpTimerState extends State<OtpTimer> {
  final interval = const Duration(seconds: 1);

  final int timerMaxSeconds = 60;

  int currentSeconds = 0;

  String get timerText =>
      '${((timerMaxSeconds - currentSeconds) ~/ 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')}: ${((timerMaxSeconds - currentSeconds) % 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')}';

  startTimeout([int milliseconds]) {
    var duration = interval;
    Timer.periodic(duration, (timer) {
      setState(() {
        print(timer.tick);
        currentSeconds = timer.tick;
        if (timer.tick >= timerMaxSeconds) timer.cancel();
      });
    });
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    startTimeout();
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Row(
      mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
      children: <Widget>[
        Icon(Icons.timer),
        SizedBox(
          width: 5,
        ),
        Text(timerText)
      ],
    );
  }
}

You will get something like this

I have created a Generic Timer Widget which can be used to display any kind of timer and its flexible as well.

This Widget takes following properties

1. secondsRemaining: duration for which timer needs to run in seconds
2. whenTimeExpires: what action needs to be performed if timer finished
3. countDownStyle: any kind of style which you want to give to timer
4. countDownFormatter: the way user wants to display the count down timer e.g hh mm ss string like 01 hours: 20 minutes: 45 seconds

you can provide a default formatter ( formatHHMMSS ) in case you don't want to supply it from every place.

// provide implementation for this - formatHHMMSS(duration.inSeconds); or use below one which I have provided.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class CountDownTimer extends StatefulWidget {
  const CountDownTimer({
    Key key,
    int secondsRemaining,
    this.countDownTimerStyle,
    this.whenTimeExpires,
    this.countDownFormatter,
  })  : secondsRemaining = secondsRemaining,
        super(key: key);

  final int secondsRemaining;
  final Function whenTimeExpires;
  final Function countDownFormatter;
  final TextStyle countDownTimerStyle;

  State createState() => new _CountDownTimerState();
}

class _CountDownTimerState extends State<CountDownTimer>
    with TickerProviderStateMixin {
  AnimationController _controller;
  Duration duration;

  String get timerDisplayString {
    Duration duration = _controller.duration * _controller.value;
    return widget.countDownFormatter != null
        ? widget.countDownFormatter(duration.inSeconds)
        : formatHHMMSS(duration.inSeconds);
      // In case user doesn't provide formatter use the default one
     // for that create a method which will be called formatHHMMSS or whatever you like
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    duration = new Duration(seconds: widget.secondsRemaining);
    _controller = new AnimationController(
      vsync: this,
      duration: duration,
    );
    _controller.reverse(from: widget.secondsRemaining.toDouble());
    _controller.addStatusListener((status) {
      if (status == AnimationStatus.completed || status == AnimationStatus.dismissed) {
        widget.whenTimeExpires();
      }
    });
  }

  @override
  void didUpdateWidget(CountDownTimer oldWidget) {
    if (widget.secondsRemaining != oldWidget.secondsRemaining) {
      setState(() {
        duration = new Duration(seconds: widget.secondsRemaining);
        _controller.dispose();
        _controller = new AnimationController(
          vsync: this,
          duration: duration,
        );
        _controller.reverse(from: widget.secondsRemaining.toDouble());
        _controller.addStatusListener((status) {
          if (status == AnimationStatus.completed) {
            widget.whenTimeExpires();
          } else if (status == AnimationStatus.dismissed) {
            print("Animation Complete");
          }
        });
      });
    }
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Center(
        child: AnimatedBuilder(
            animation: _controller,
            builder: (_, Widget child) {
              return Text(
                timerDisplayString,
                style: widget.countDownTimerStyle,
              );
            }));
  }
}

Usage:

 Container(
       width: 60.0,
       padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 3.0, right: 4.0),
         child: CountDownTimer(
           secondsRemaining: 30,
           whenTimeExpires: () {
              setState(() {
                hasTimerStopped = true;
              });
            },
            countDownStyle: TextStyle(
                color: Color(0XFFf5a623),
                fontSize: 17.0,
                height: 1.2),
          ),
        )

example for formatHHMMSS:

String formatHHMMSS(int seconds) {
  int hours = (seconds / 3600).truncate();
  seconds = (seconds % 3600).truncate();
  int minutes = (seconds / 60).truncate();

  String hoursStr = (hours).toString().padLeft(2, '0');
  String minutesStr = (minutes).toString().padLeft(2, '0');
  String secondsStr = (seconds % 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0');

  if (hours == 0) {
    return "$minutesStr:$secondsStr";
  }

  return "$hoursStr:$minutesStr:$secondsStr";
}

If all you need is a simple countdown timer, this is a good alternative instead of installing a package. Happy coding!

countDownTimer() async {
 int timerCount;
 for (int x = 5; x > 0; x--) {
   await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1)).then((_) {
     setState(() {
       timerCount -= 1;
    });
  });
 }
}

Countdown timer in one line

CountdownTimer(Duration(seconds: 5), Duration(seconds: 1)).listen((data){
})..onData((data){
  print('data $data');
})..onDone((){
  print('onDone.........');
});

doesnt directly answer your question. But helpful for those who want to start something after some time.

Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1), () {
            print('yo hey');
          });

I'm using https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_countdown_timer

dependencies: flutter_countdown_timer: ^1.0.0

$ flutter pub get

CountdownTimer(endTime: 1594829147719)

1594829147719 is your timestamp in milliseconds

Little late to the party but why don't you guys try animation.No I am not telling you to manage animation controllers and disposing them off and all that stuff.theres a built-in widget for that called TweenAnimationBuilder.You can animate between values of any type,heres an example with a Duration class

TweenAnimationBuilder<Duration>(
              duration: Duration(minutes: 3),
              tween: Tween(begin: Duration(minutes: 3), end: Duration.zero),
              onEnd: () {
                print('Timer ended');
              },
              builder: (BuildContext context, Duration value, Widget child) {
              final minutes = value.inMinutes;
              final seconds = value.inSeconds % 60;
              return Padding(
                     padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 5),
                     child: Text('$minutes:$seconds',
                            textAlign: TextAlign.center,
                            style: TextStyle(
                            color: Colors.black,
                            fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
                            fontSize: 30)));
              }),

and You also get onEnd call back which notifies you when the animation completes;

here's the output

You can use this plugin timer_builder

timer_builder widget that rebuilds itself on scheduled, periodic, or dynamically generated time events.

Examples

Periodic rebuild

import 'package:timer_builder/timer_builder.dart';

class ClockWidget extends StatelessWidget {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return TimerBuilder.periodic(Duration(seconds: 1),
      builder: (context) {
        return Text("${DateTime.now()}");
      }
    );
  }
  
}

Rebuild on a schedule

import 'package:timer_builder/timer_builder.dart';

class StatusIndicator extends StatelessWidget {

  final DateTime startTime;
  final DateTime endTime;
  
  StatusIndicator(this.startTime, this.endTime);
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return TimerBuilder.scheduled([startTime, endTime],
      builder: (context) {
        final now = DateTime.now();
        final started = now.compareTo(startTime) >= 0;
        final ended = now.compareTo(endTime) >= 0;
        return Text(started ? ended ? "Ended": "Started": "Not Started");
      }
    );
  }
  
}
