Habit Tracker: Delete a Habit

Part of the Projects section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 34 of 36.

Habits end too. Press and hold a card to delete it. A whole week of ticks is a lot to lose by accident, so the app asks first.

An InkWell inside the card catches the press with onLongPress and draws the ripple. The day circles keep their own taps: a quick tap still reaches the GestureDetector, and only a long press goes to the card.

The question is a dialog that pops true or false, as in the last lesson. Its title names the habit, so you know what you are deleting:

final delete = await showDialog<bool>(
  context: context,
  builder: (context) => AlertDialog(
    title: Text('Delete ${habit.name}?'),
    ...
  ),
);
if (delete != true) return;

The card hands the long press up with a third callback, onLongPress, the same way it hands up taps on days.

Challenge

Medium

Delete habits:

  • write Future<void> _deleteHabit(Habit habit) async: an AlertDialog titled Delete Stretch? (with the habit's name), the line Its ticks for this week go with it., a Cancel TextButton and a Delete FilledButton; on Delete, remove the habit
  • give HabitCard a required VoidCallback onLongPress, and pass () => _deleteHabit(habit)
  • in the card, put an InkWell with that onLongPress around the Padding, and give the Card clipBehavior: Clip.antiAlias
