Flutter - 有状态小部件在切换选项卡时不会保存计数器状态

我正在学习 flutter，正在使用 tabBars，但在保存状态时遇到问题。我在下面列出了我的问题的一个小工作示例。基本上，有一个按钮和一个状态计数器。当我单击按钮时，我看到文本字段正确更新。但是，当我切换到不同的选项卡并返回时，文本字段又回到零。

我发现如果我将以下行移到 _CounterState 之外，使其定义在文件的顶层，那么它就可以正常工作。当我切换选项卡时，计数器在我切换回来时保持正确的计数

int _counter = 0;

我认为这不是执行此操作的适当方法，并且我见过的所有示例都在类内部包含变量。谁能给我任何见解？如果它在班级内部，为什么会重置？我应该把它放在课堂之外吗？下面是简化的完整示例。

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(new TabBarDemo());
}

class TabBarDemo extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      home: new DefaultTabController(
        length: 3,
        child: new Scaffold(
          appBar: new AppBar(
            bottom: new TabBar(
              tabs: [
                new Tab(icon: new Icon(Icons.directions_car)),
                new Tab(icon: new Icon(Icons.directions_transit)),
                new Tab(icon: new Icon(Icons.directions_bike)),
              ],
            ),
            title: new Text('Tabs Demo'),
          ),
          body: new TabBarView(
            children: [
              new Counter(),
              new Icon(Icons.directions_transit),
              new Icon(Icons.directions_bike),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class Counter extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _CounterState createState() => new _CounterState();
}

class _CounterState extends State<Counter> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _increment() {
    setState(() {
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Row(
      children: <Widget>[
        new RaisedButton(
          onPressed: _increment,
          child: new Text('Increment'),
        ),
        new Text('Count: $_counter'),
      ],
    );
  }
}

下面是计数器移到类之外的示例

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(new TabBarDemo());
}

class TabBarDemo extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      home: new DefaultTabController(
        length: 3,
        child: new Scaffold(
          appBar: new AppBar(
            bottom: new TabBar(
              tabs: [
                new Tab(icon: new Icon(Icons.directions_car)),
                new Tab(icon: new Icon(Icons.directions_transit)),
                new Tab(icon: new Icon(Icons.directions_bike)),
              ],
            ),
            title: new Text('Tabs Demo'),
          ),
          body: new TabBarView(
            children: [
              new Counter(),
              new Icon(Icons.directions_transit),
              new Icon(Icons.directions_bike),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class Counter extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _CounterState createState() => new _CounterState();
}

int _counter = 0; //<-- MOVED OUTSIDE THE _CounterState CLASS
class _CounterState extends State<Counter> {


  void _increment() {
    setState(() {
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Row(
      children: <Widget>[
        new RaisedButton(
          onPressed: _increment,
          child: new Text('Increment'),
        ),
        new Text('Count: $_counter'),
      ],
    );
  }
}

As _CounterState每次您转到需要放置的给定 TabView 时都会构建小部件_counter状态配置类中的变量（Counter).

class Counter extends StatefulWidget {
  int _counter = 0;
  @override
  _CounterState createState() => new _CounterState();
}

class _CounterState extends State<Counter> {
  void _increment() {
    setState(() {
      widget._counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Row(
      children: <Widget>[
        new RaisedButton(
          onPressed: _increment,
          child: new Text('Increment'),
        ),
        new Text('Count: ${widget._counter}'),
      ],
    );
  }
}
