Change Text Widget Text Dynamically on Button Click

Question

Here is my code. I am fetching the value TotalVotes from Firebase and showing its value in a Text-widget and I wanted to increase TotalVotes count when anyone hit button and update the Text widget. But I'm not able to update the Text-widget, and the value of the Text-widget updates only after refreshing the page.

Row(
  children: <Widget>[
    Text("Total Votes: $TotalVotes",
        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 12)),
    SizedBox(width: 30),
    FadeAnimation(
      2,
      Container(
          decoration: BoxDecoration(
              color: Color(0xFFF1f94aa).withOpacity(.6),
              borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8)),
          child: Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
            child: FadeAnimation(
                3,
                InkWell(
                  child: ItemIcon(Icons.favorite_border, "  Vote"),
                  onTap: () {
                    DatabaseReference database = FirebaseDatabase
                        .instance
                        .reference()
                        .child("Vote")
                        .child(Name);

                    database.once().then((DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                      print(dataSnapshot.value['TotalVotes']);
                      String totalvote = (int.parse(
                                  dataSnapshot.value['TotalVotes']) +
                              1)
                          .toString();
                      database.child("TotalVotes").set(totalvote);
                      setState(() {
                        TotalVotes = totalvote;
                      });
                      Fluttertoast.showToast(
                          msg: 'Voted Successfully');
                    });
                  },
                )),
          )),
    ),
  ],
),

Whole Widget Code

                          DatabaseReference database = FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference()
                              .child("VoteForTomorrow").child(Name);

                          database.once().then((DataSnapshot dataSnapshot){

                                  print(dataSnapshot.value['TotalVotes']);
                                  String totalvote = (int.parse(dataSnapshot.value['TotalVotes'])+1).toString();

                                  setState(() {
                                    TotalVotes = totalvote;  <--------------------------
                                  });
                                  Fluttertoast.showToast(msg: 'Voted Successfully');



                          });
                      },

                    )
                    ),
                  )),
              ),
            ],
          )
    ])
    )

        ],
      ),

      ) );
  }

Fade Animation


class FadeAnimation extends StatelessWidget {
  final double delay;
  final Widget child;

  FadeAnimation(this.delay, this.child);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final tween = MultiTrackTween([
      Track("opacity").add(Duration(milliseconds: 500), Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 1.0)),
      Track("translateY").add(
        Duration(milliseconds: 500), Tween(begin: -130.0, end: 0.0),
        curve: Curves.easeOut)
    ]);

    return ControlledAnimation(
      delay: Duration(milliseconds: (500 * delay).round()),
      duration: tween.duration,
      tween: tween,
      child: child,
      builderWithChild: (context, child, animation) => Opacity(
        opacity: animation["opacity"],
        child: Transform.translate(
          offset: Offset(0, animation["translateY"]), 
          child: child
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Here is TotalVotes

  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    DatabaseReference postRef = FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference().child("Category");
    DatabaseReference postRef2 = FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference().child("VoteForTomorrow");
    postRef2.once().then((DataSnapshot dataSnapshot2){
      var Keys = dataSnapshot2.value.keys;
      var Datas = dataSnapshot2.value;

      voteForTomorrowList.clear();
      for(var individualKey in Keys)
        {
          VoteForTomorrow voteForTomorrow = new VoteForTomorrow(
            Datas[individualKey]['ImageUrl'],
            Datas[individualKey]['Name'],
            Datas[individualKey]['Price'],
            Datas[individualKey]['TotalVotes'],

          );
          voteForTomorrowList.add(voteForTomorrow);
        }

      setState(() {

      });
    });

And this is how I'm calling the votefortommorow

VoteForTomorrowUi(voteForTomorrowList[index].ImageUrl, voteForTomorrowList[index].Name, voteForTomorrowList[index].Price, voteForTomorrowList[index].TotalVotes);

what is Name in the second child of your firebase query is it a variable it looks like a class cause its starts with a capital letter — wcyankees424

hey @wcyankees424 actually Name is variable which stores the name of the object in database. — dartKnightRises

I figured that it is convention to name variable in lower camel case to avoid confusion but you can name them however you like — wcyankees424
– wcyankees424, Commented Apr 12, 2020 at 21:00
So just to double check in firebase 'TotalVotes' is a direct child of what ever variable Name holds right so it would like this {Name: TotalVotes: xxx } where xxx is the value you are trying to access — wcyankees424

Yes @wcyankees424, the database structure you drawn is correct. I'm able to fetch the TotalVotes and even I'm able to increase its value in database at the same time but I wanted its value to be increased in the TextWidget as well, which only happens after refreshing the page. — dartKnightRises

With out seeing your code as a whole I might be still a little confused but im using your widget and a FutureBuilder and this works

 @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: FutureBuilder<DataSnapshot>(
          future: FirebaseDatabase.instance
              .reference()
              .child("VoteForTomorrow")
              .child('Name')
              .child('TotalVotes')
              .once(),
          builder:
              (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<DataSnapshot> snapshot) {
            return Center(
              child: VoteForTomorrowUi(
                'https://static.photocdn.pt/images/articles/2017/11/29/articles/2017_8/iStock-641093712-min.jpg',
                'Name',
                'Price',
                snapshot.data.value,
              ),
            );
          }),
    );
  }
}

I just put some dummy data in for the other values but the widget is the same the only thing I can think of is if you are reading and writing all your data properly you must be re-initializing TotalVotes every time the widget builds which is why you get the same value
