Why is the Segment.screen() method called in the build() method? #25

Hi,

As I understand, the build method can be called multiple times per second, and this track screen function is a method channel. Was this intention? or what's the best practice to log a screen without it being called multiple times in the same screen session?

@ArmandoJimenezOS thanks for reporting it, can you show the line or file where you see this?

Thanks for answering. In the examples of this package, it shows calling Segment.screen() in the build method, is this where we are supposed to call it?

No, it depend on your case. In the examples, it is a StatelessWidget, so the build method will never called multiple time unless you reopen the widget.

The conclusion :

  1. In the StatelessWidget, you can call Segment.screen() in the build method
  2. In the StatefulWidget, you must call Segment.screen() in the initState method.
