How To Create Live Cricket Match App In Flutter (Last Part)

 

Step 6: Navigate to a match details screen

Next, let's set up a way for the user to navigate to a screen with more details about a specific cricket match. Create a new file called match_details_screen.dart and add the following code to it:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'api.dart'; class MatchDetailsScreen extends StatefulWidget { final String matchId; MatchDetailsScreen({required this.matchId}); @override _MatchDetailsScreenState createState() => _MatchDetailsScreenState(); } class _MatchDetailsScreenState extends State<MatchDetailsScreen> { Map _matchDetails = {}; @override void initState() { super.initState(); _getMatchDetails(); } Future<void> _getMatchDetails() async { final data = await Api.get('cricketScore?unique_id=${widget.matchId}'); setState(() { _matchDetails = data; }); } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text('Match Details'), ), body: SingleChildScrollView( child: Column( crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch, children: [ Container( padding: EdgeInsets.all(16), color: Colors.grey[300], child: Text( _matchDetails['team-1'] + ' vs ' + _matchDetails['team-2'], style: TextStyle( fontSize: 18, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, ), ), ), Container( padding: EdgeInsets.all(16), child: Column( crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch, children: [ Text( 'Score: ${_matchDetails['score']}',

style: TextStyle( fontSize: 16, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, ), ), SizedBox(height: 16), Text( 'Status: ${_matchDetails['stat']}', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16), ), SizedBox(height: 16), Row( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly, children: [ Column( children: [ Text( _matchDetails['team-1'], style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold), ), SizedBox(height: 8), Image.network( 'https://www.countryflags.io/${_matchDetails['team-1-abbreviation']}/flat/64.png', width: 50, ), ], ), Column( children: [ Text( 'vs', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16), ), SizedBox(height: 8), Text( _matchDetails['team-2'], style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold), ), SizedBox(height: 8), Image.network( 'https://www.countryflags.io/${_matchDetails['team-2-abbreviation']}/flat/64.png', width: 50, ), ], ), ], ), SizedBox(height: 16), Text( 'Cricbuzz Commentary', style: TextStyle( fontSize: 16, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, ), ), SizedBox(height: 16), if (_matchDetails['scorecard'] != null) Column( children: _matchDetails['scorecard'].map<Widget>((card) { return Padding( padding: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 8), child: Row( children: [ Expanded( child: Text( card['title'], style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold), ), ), Expanded( child: Text( card['value'], textAlign: TextAlign.right, ), ), ], ), ); }).toList(), ), ], ), ), ], ), ), ); } }

This code sets up a `MatchDetailsScreen` widget that displays detailed information about a cricket match, including the teams involved, the current score, and live commentary. The `matchId` argument is used to fetch the specific match details from the CricAPI.

Step 7: Add navigation between screens

Now that we have both a `HomeScreen` and a `MatchDetailsScreen`, we need a way for the user to navigate between them. Update the `ListView.builder` in `home_screen.dart` to include a `GestureDetector` that navigates to the `MatchDetailsScreen` when a match is tapped:

```dart

ListView.builder(

  itemCount: _matches.length,

  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {

    final match = _matches[index];

    return GestureDetector(

      onTap: () {

        Navigator.push(

          context,

          MaterialPageRoute(

            builder: (context) => MatchDetailsScreen(matchId: match['unique_id']),

          ),

        );

      },

      child: ListTile(

        leading: SvgPicture.asset(

          'assets/icons/cricket-ball.svg',

          width: 30,

          color: Colors.green,

        ),

        title: Text(match['team-1'] + ' vs ' + match['team-2']),

        subtitle: Text(match['type']),

        trailing: CachedNetworkImage(

          imageUrl: 'https://www.countryflags.io/${match['team-1-abbreviation']}/flat/64.png',

          width: 40,

        ),

      ),

    );

  },

),

This code adds a GestureDetector with an onTap property to each ListTile. When a match is tapped, it creates a new MatchDetailsScreen with the matchId argument set to the corresponding match's unique ID and navigates to it using the Navigator.push method.

Step 8: Test the app

Now that we have a fully functioning live cricket match app, it's time to test it out! To run the app on an emulator or physical device, run the following command in your terminal:

flutter run

This command will build and run the app on the default device or emulator. If you have multiple devices or emulators connected, you can specify which one to use by running flutter run -d <device ID>.

Once the app is running, you should see a list of live cricket matches on the home screen. Tapping on a match should take you to the MatchDetailsScreen where you can view detailed information about the match, including the current score and live commentary.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to create a live cricket match app using Flutter and the CricAPI. We started by setting up a new Flutter project and adding dependencies for networking, caching, and SVG rendering. We then created a HomeScreen widget that fetches live cricket match data from the CricAPI and displays it in a list. Finally, we created a MatchDetailsScreen widget that displays detailed information about a specific cricket match and added navigation between the two screens.

With the knowledge gained from this tutorial, you can apply similar techniques to create apps that display live data for other sports, news, weather, and more. Happy coding!
