When to check for mounted before setting state?












0















The docs here say that:




It is an error to call this method after the framework calls dispose.
You can determine whether it is legal to call this method by checking
whether the mounted property is true.




I have never seen a Flutter example that checks for the mounted property, so which cases should we bother to actually check it?

          when code calls setState() from a timer or an animation callback. The preferred solution is to cancel the timer or stop listening to the animation in the dispose()
          callback. Another solution is to check the "mounted" property of this object before calling setState() to ensure the object is still in the tree.
