[adaptive_scaffold] drawer stays open after selection with no way to close it

[rivasdiaz]

Steps to reproduce

1. create a component using AdaptiveScaffold, leave useDrawer property unset (or set to true)
2. run on desktop or web (as drawer is not used in mobile)
3. make window smaller than smallBreakpoint so drawer is shown.
4. use drawer to click any destination

Expected results

Drawer should close after clicking on a destination.

Actual results

Drawer does not close after clicking on a destination.

Although that seems the right approach for AdaptiveScaffold, it could also provide a closeDrawer method like Scaffold. Sadly, even though AdaptiveScaffold uses a Scaffold internally, using Scaffold.of(context).closeDrawer() does not work when used on onSelectedIndexChange as the Scaffold context is a child of AdaptiveScaffold and so not found on the current context inside the handler.

Code sample

Code sample

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_adaptive_scaffold/flutter_adaptive_scaffold.dart';

const Color darkBlue = Color.fromARGB(255, 18, 32, 47);

void main() {
  runApp(App());
}

class App extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() => HomePageState();
}

class HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  
  int selectedDestination = 0;
  static const List<String> destinationLabels = <String>['Home', 'Settings'];
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return AdaptiveScaffold(
      selectedIndex: selectedDestination,
      destinations: <NavigationDestination>[
        NavigationDestination(
          icon: const Icon(Icons.home),
          label: destinationLabels[0],
        ),
        NavigationDestination(
          icon: const Icon(Icons.settings),
          label: destinationLabels[1],
        ),
      ],
      body: (_) => Center(
        child: Text(destinationLabels[selectedDestination]),
      ),
      onSelectedIndexChange: (newDestination) {
        setState(() {
          selectedDestination = newDestination;
          // The following line does not work as parent context does not contain a scaffold
          // Scaffold.of(context).closeDrawer();
        });
      }
    );
  }
}

The example can be copied to DartPad to reproduce the bug.

Thanks for filing this @rivasdiaz.
I can reproduce this on the latest master and stable channels but this seems to me to be WAI and might pass as a proposal for a change instead.
I'll be labelling for more insights.

stable, master flutter doctor -v

Hi @dam-ease , thanks for your quick response.

Can I ask to please reconsider this issue as a bug instead of intended behavior? According to the material specification (both v2 and v3), modal navigation drawers can be dismissed by selecting an item (https://m3.material.io/components/navigation-drawer/guidelines#:~:text=Selecting%20a%20drawer%20item). This is not possible when using this component.

If not, thanks for leaving it as a proposal.

I agree - We can have a bug fix to dismiss drawer in case of already open for that specific Scaffold. Apparently, I will try to add some fix into this one & lets see how that goes.
