In this chapter, we are going to learn how to write a full fledged mobile application, expense_calculator. The purpose of the expense_calculator is to store our expense information. The complete feature of the application is as follows −

Expense list.
Form to enter new expenses.
Option to edit / delete the existing expenses.
Total expenses at any instance.

We are going to program the expense_calculator application using below mentioned advanced features of Flutter framework.

Advanced use of ListView to show the expense list.
Form programming.
SQLite database programming to store our expenses.
scoped_model state management to simplify our programming.

Let us start programming the expense_calculator application.

Create a new Flutter application, expense_calculator in Android studio.
Open pubspec.yaml and add package dependencies.

dependencies: 
   flutter: 
      sdk: flutter 
   sqflite: ^1.1.0 
   path_provider: ^0.5.0+1 
   scoped_model: ^1.0.1 
   intl: any

Observe these points here −

sqflite is used for SQLite database programming.
path_provider is used to get system specific application path.
scoped_model is used for state management.
intl is used for date formatting.

Android studio will display the following alert that the pubspec.yaml is updated.

Click Get dependencies option. Android studio will get the package from Internet and properly configure it for the application.
Remove the existing code in main.dart.
Add new file, Expense.dart to create Expense class. Expense class will have the below properties and methods.

property: id − Unique id to represent an expense entry in SQLite database.
property: amount − Amount spent.
property: date − Date when the amount is spent.
property: category − Category represents the area in which the amount is spent. e.g Food, Travel, etc.,
formattedDate − Used to format the date property
fromMap − Used to map the field from database table to the property in the expense object and to create a new expense object.

factory Expense.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> data) { 
   return Expense( 
      data['id'], 
      data['amount'], 
      DateTime.parse(data['date']),    
      data['category'] 
   ); 
}

toMap − Used to convert the expense object to Dart Map, which can be further used in database programming

Map<String, dynamic> toMap() => { 
   "id" : id, 
   "amount" : amount, 
   "date" : date.toString(), 
   "category" : category, 
};

columns − Static variable used to represent the database field.

Enter and save the following code into the Expense.dart file.

import 'package:intl/intl.dart'; class Expense {
   final int id; 
   final double amount; 
   final DateTime date; 
   final String category; 
   String get formattedDate { 
      var formatter = new DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd'); 
      return formatter.format(this.date); 
   } 
   static final columns = ['id', 'amount', 'date', 'category'];
   Expense(this.id, this.amount, this.date, this.category); 
   factory Expense.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> data) { 
      return Expense( 
         data['id'], 
         data['amount'], 
         DateTime.parse(data['date']), data['category'] 
      ); 
   }
   Map<String, dynamic> toMap() => {
      "id" : id, 
      "amount" : amount, 
      "date" : date.toString(), 
      "category" : category, 
   }; 
}

The above code is simple and self explanatory.
Add new file, Database.dart to create SQLiteDbProvider class. The purpose of the SQLiteDbProvider class is as follows −

Get all expenses available in the database using getAllExpenses method. It will be used to list all the users expense information.

Future<List<Expense>> getAllExpenses() async { 
   final db = await database; 
   
   List<Map> results = await db.query(
      "Expense", columns: Expense.columns, orderBy: "date DESC"
   );
   List<Expense> expenses = new List(); 
   results.forEach((result) {
      Expense expense = Expense.fromMap(result); 
      expenses.add(expense); 
   }); 
   return expenses; 
}

Get a specific expense information based on expense identity available in the database using getExpenseById method. It will be used to show the particular expense information to the user.

Future<Expense> getExpenseById(int id) async {
   final db = await database;
   var result = await db.query("Expense", where: "id = ", whereArgs: [id]);
   
   return result.isNotEmpty ? 
   Expense.fromMap(result.first) : Null; 
}

Get the total expenses of the user using getTotalExpense method. It will be used to show the current total expense to the user.

Future<double> getTotalExpense() async {
   final db = await database; 
   List<Map> list = await db.rawQuery(
      "Select SUM(amount) as amount from expense"
   );
   return list.isNotEmpty ? list[0]["amount"] : Null; 
}

Add new expense information into the database using insert method. It will be used to add new expense entry into the application by the user.

Future<Expense> insert(Expense expense) async { 
   final db = await database; 
   var maxIdResult = await db.rawQuery(
      "SELECT MAX(id)+1 as last_inserted_id FROM Expense"
   );
   var id = maxIdResult.first["last_inserted_id"]; 
   var result = await db.rawInsert(
      "INSERT Into Expense (id, amount, date, category)" 
      " VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)", [
         id, expense.amount, expense.date.toString(), expense.category
      ]
   ); 
   return Expense(id, expense.amount, expense.date, expense.category); 
}

Update existing expense information using update method. It will be used to edit and update existing expense entry available in the system by the user.

update(Expense product) async {
   final db = await database; 
   
   var result = await db.update("Expense", product.toMap(), 
   where: "id = ?", whereArgs: [product.id]); 
   return result; 
}

Delete existing expense information using delete method. It will be used remove the existing expense entry available in the system by the user.

delete(int id) async {
   final db = await database;
   db.delete("Expense", where: "id = ?", whereArgs: [id]); 
}

The complete code of the SQLiteDbProvider class is as follows −

import 'dart:async';

         return _database; 
      _database = await initDB(); 
      return _database; 
   } 
   initDB() async {
      Directory documentsDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();

      db.delete("Expense", where: "id = ?", whereArgs: [id]);
   }
}

Here,

database is the property to get the SQLiteDbProvider object.
initDB is a method used to select and open the SQLite database.

Create a new file, ExpenseListModel.dart to create ExpenseListModel. The purpose of the model is to hold the complete information of the user expenses in the memory and updating the user interface of the application whenever users expense changes in the memory. It is based on Model class from scoped_model package. It has the following properties and methods −

_items − private list of expenses.
items − getter for _items as UnmodifiableListView<Expense> to prevent unexpected or accidental changes to the list.
totalExpense − getter for Total expenses based on the items variable.

double get totalExpense {
   double amount = 0.0; 
   for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) { 
      amount = amount + _items[i].amount; 
   } 
   return amount; 
}

load − Used to load the complete expenses from database and into the _items variable. It also calls notifyListeners to update the UI.

void load() {
   Future<List<Expense>> 
   list = SQLiteDbProvider.db.getAllExpenses(); 
   list.then( (dbItems) {
      for(var i = 0; i < dbItems.length; i++) { 
         _items.add(dbItems[i]); 
      } notifyListeners(); 
   });
}

byId − Used to get a particular expenses from _items variable.

Expense byId(int id) { 
   for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) { 
      if(_items[i].id == id) { 
         return _items[i]; 
      } 
   }
   return null; 
}

add − Used to add a new expense item into the _items variable as well as into the database. It also calls notifyListeners to update the UI.

void add(Expense item) {
   SQLiteDbProvider.db.insert(item).then((val) { 
      _items.add(val); notifyListeners(); 
   }); 
}

Update − Used to Update expense item into the _items variable as well as into the database. It also calls notifyListeners to update the UI.

void update(Expense item) {
   bool found = false;
   for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) {
      if(_items[i].id == item.id) {
         _items[i] = item; 
         found = true; 
         SQLiteDbProvider.db.update(item); break; 
      } 
   }
   if(found) notifyListeners(); 
}

delete − Used to remove an existing expense item in the _items variable as well as from the database. It also calls notifyListeners to update the UI.

void delete(Expense item) { 
   bool found = false; 
   for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) {
      if(_items[i].id == item.id) {
         found = true; 
         SQLiteDbProvider.db.delete(item.id); 
         _items.removeAt(i); break; 
      }
   }
   if(found) notifyListeners(); 
}

The complete code of the ExpenseListModel class is as follows −

import 'dart:collection'; 
import 'package:scoped_model/scoped_model.dart'; 
import 'Expense.dart'; 
import 'Database.dart'; 

class ExpenseListModel extends Model { 
   ExpenseListModel() { 
      this.load(); 
   } 
   final List<Expense> _items = []; 
   UnmodifiableListView<Expense> get items => 
   UnmodifiableListView(_items); 
   
   /*Future<double> get totalExpense { 
      return SQLiteDbProvider.db.getTotalExpense(); 
   }*/ 
   
   double get totalExpense {
      double amount = 0.0;
      for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) { 
         amount = amount + _items[i].amount; 
      } 
      return amount; 
   }
   void load() {
      Future<List<Expense>> list = SQLiteDbProvider.db.getAllExpenses(); 
      list.then( (dbItems) {
         for(var i = 0; i < dbItems.length; i++) {
            _items.add(dbItems[i]); 
         } 
         notifyListeners(); 
      }); 
   }
   Expense byId(int id) {
      for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) { 
         if(_items[i].id == id) { 
            return _items[i]; 
         } 
      }
      return null; 
   }
   void add(Expense item) {
      SQLiteDbProvider.db.insert(item).then((val) {
         _items.add(val);
         notifyListeners();
      }); 
   }
   void update(Expense item) {
      bool found = false; 
      for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) {
         if(_items[i].id == item.id) {
            _items[i] = item; 
            found = true; 
            SQLiteDbProvider.db.update(item); 
            break; 
         }
      }
      if(found) notifyListeners(); 
   }
   void delete(Expense item) {
      bool found = false; 
      for(var i = 0; i < _items.length; i++) {
         if(_items[i].id == item.id) {
            found = true; 
            SQLiteDbProvider.db.delete(item.id); 
            _items.removeAt(i); break; 
         }
      }
      if(found) notifyListeners(); 
   }
}

Open main.dart file. Import the classes as specified below −

import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; 
import 'package:scoped_model/scoped_model.dart'; 
import 'ExpenseListModel.dart'; 
import 'Expense.dart';

Add main function and call runApp by passing ScopedModel<ExpenseListModel> widget.

void main() { 
   final expenses = ExpenseListModel(); 
   runApp(
      ScopedModel<ExpenseListModel>(model: expenses, child: MyApp(),)
   );
}

Here,

expenses object loads all the user expenses information from the database. Also, when the application is opened for the first time, it will create the required database with proper tables.
ScopedModel provides the expense information during the whole life cycle of the application and ensures the maintenance of state of the application at any instance. It enables us to use StatelessWidget instead of StatefulWidget.

Create a simple MyApp using MaterialApp widget.

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
   // This widget is the root of your application. 
   @override 
   Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return MaterialApp(
         title: 'Expense',
         theme: ThemeData(
            primarySwatch: Colors.blue, 
         ), 
         home: MyHomePage(title: 'Expense calculator'), 
      );
   }
}

Create MyHomePage widget to display all the users expense information along with total expenses at the top. Floating button at the bottom right corner will be used to add new expenses.

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget { 
   MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key); 
   final String title; 
   @override 
   Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return Scaffold(
         appBar: AppBar( 
            title: Text(this.title), 
         ), 
         body: ScopedModelDescendant<ExpenseListModel>(
            builder: (context, child, expenses) {
               return ListView.separated(
                  itemCount: expenses.items == null ? 1 
                  : expenses.items.length + 1, 
                  itemBuilder: (context, index) { 
                     if (index == 0) { 
                        return ListTile(
                           title: Text("Total expenses: " 
                           + expenses.totalExpense.toString(), 
                           style: TextStyle(fontSize: 24,
                           fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),) 
                        );
                     } else {
                        index = index - 1; 
                        return Dismissible( 
                           key: Key(expenses.items[index].id.toString()), 
                              onDismissed: (direction) { 
                              expenses.delete(expenses.items[index]); 
                              Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(
                                 SnackBar(
                                    content: Text(

                                    )
                                 )
                              ); 
                           },
                           child: ListTile( onTap: () { 
                              Navigator.push(

Here,

ScopedModelDescendant is used to pass the expense model into the ListView and FloatingActionButton widget.
ListView.separated and ListTile widget is used to list the expense information.
Dismissible widget is used to delete the expense entry using swipe gesture.
Navigator is used to open edit interface of an expense entry. It can be activated by tapping an expense entry.

Create a FormPage widget. The purpose of the FormPage widget is to add or update an expense entry. It handles expense entry validation as well.
