build method

  1. @override
Widget build(
  1. BuildContext context
)
override

Describes the part of the user interface represented by this widget.

The framework calls this method when this widget is inserted into the tree in a given BuildContext and when the dependencies of this widget change (e.g., an InheritedWidget referenced by this widget changes). This method can potentially be called in every frame and should not have any side effects beyond building a widget.

The framework replaces the subtree below this widget with the widget returned by this method, either by updating the existing subtree or by removing the subtree and inflating a new subtree, depending on whether the widget returned by this method can update the root of the existing subtree, as determined by calling Widget.canUpdate.

Typically implementations return a newly created constellation of widgets that are configured with information from this widget's constructor and from the given BuildContext.

The given BuildContext contains information about the location in the tree at which this widget is being built. For example, the context provides the set of inherited widgets for this location in the tree. A given widget might be built with multiple different BuildContext arguments over time if the widget is moved around the tree or if the widget is inserted into the tree in multiple places at once.

The implementation of this method must only depend on:

If a widget's build method is to depend on anything else, use a StatefulWidget instead.

Implementation

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return GestureDetector(
    // GestureDetector allows the user to tap the button and trigger an action
    onTap: () {
      // Find the index of the current speed in the playbackSpeeds list
      int currentIndex = playbackSpeeds.indexOf(currentSpeed);

      // Determine the next index (looping back to the start when the end is reached)
      int nextIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % playbackSpeeds.length;

      // Get the next playback speed
      double nextSpeed = playbackSpeeds[nextIndex];

      // Set the new playback speed using the provided callback
      setSpeed(nextSpeed);
    },
    child: Container(
      // Container to wrap the button, providing styling and interaction effects
      padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8.0, vertical: 4.0),
      decoration: BoxDecoration(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8.0), // Rounded corners
        color: backgroundColor ??
            iconColor.withAlpha((0.2 * 255)
                .round()), // Background color, defaulting to a translucent version of iconColor
      ),
      child: Text(
        // Display the current playback speed (e.g., '1.0x', '1.5x')
        '${currentSpeed}x',
        style: TextStyle(
            color: iconColor,
            fontSize: 14), // Text style with icon color and font size
      ),
    ),
  );
