Fix: #176008

The Title widget was previously a StatelessWidget. This change converts it to a StatefulWidget to allow it to update the application switcher description when its title or color properties change.

  • The _updateChrome method is introduced to encapsulate the call to SystemChrome.setApplicationSwitcherDescription.
  • initState now calls _updateChrome to set the initial description.
  • didUpdateWidget checks if title or color have changed and calls _updateChrome accordingly.
  • The build method now simply returns widget.child.
  • Property access in debugFillProperties is updated to use widget.propertyName.

Replace this paragraph with a description of what this PR is changing or adding, and why. Consider including before/after screenshots.

List which issues are fixed by this PR. You must list at least one issue. An issue is not required if the PR fixes something trivial like a typo.

If you had to change anything in the flutter/tests repo, include a link to the migration guide as per the breaking change policy.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

Code Review

This pull request correctly refactors the Title widget from a StatelessWidget to a StatefulWidget to handle dynamic updates of the application switcher description. The logic is sound, introducing initState and didUpdateWidget to manage side effects. I have a couple of suggestions to align the code with standard Flutter conventions for state lifecycle methods, which will improve robustness.

@chunhtai can you help me to tag please 🙏 ?

@kazbeksultanov in my experience review always takes at least 2 weeks, but asking on the official Discord (not Flutter Dev) can help with getting someone assigned

I hoped that because the PR is so small and not complex, it will be picked up faster.
But seems like it's not related to that. Let's wait then, no problem 👍

@benthillerkus, thanks for comment 🙏

I'm on board with making this change, but please add a test that verifies that SystemChrome.setApplicationSwitcherDescription is called only when title or color change.

The documentation for the `Title` widget was describing its implementation details. This change removes the redundant comment.

Additionally, new tests are added to verify that `SystemChrome.setApplicationSwitcherDescription` is called only when the `title` or `color` properties actually change, and not on every rebuild with the same values.

Missing a teardown in the tests, otherwise this looks good.

Sorry for the slow response here, we usually check PRs once per week. Feel free to ping me on the Flutter Discord once this is ready for re-review if I'm not seeing it.

Fix: flutter#176008

The Title widget was previously a `StatelessWidget`. This change
converts it to a `StatefulWidget` to allow it to update the application
switcher description when its `title` or `color` properties change.

- The `_updateChrome` method is introduced to encapsulate the call to
`SystemChrome.setApplicationSwitcherDescription`.
- `initState` now calls `_updateChrome` to set the initial description.
- `didUpdateWidget` checks if `title` or `color` have changed and calls
`_updateChrome` accordingly.
- The `build` method now simply returns `widget.child`.
- Property access in `debugFillProperties` is updated to use
`widget.propertyName`.
