FabMiniMenuItem color fails to change after setState

[SapiensID]

I trying to change the color of the selected FabMiniMenuItem. My code is below. I do see that when I tap on a menu item, the FabDialer calls the method to create each menu item, and the color of each menu item is set correctly (red for the selected "currentMap", blue for the others). However, the FabDialer widget fails to show the new color:

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

class MapActionMenu extends StatefulWidget {
    MapActionMenu();

    @override
    _MapActionMenuState createState() => _MapActionMenuState();
}

class Appmap {
    String name;
    Appmap({this.name});
}

class _MapActionMenuState extends State<MapActionMenu> {
    List<Appmap> _maps;
    Appmap _currentMap;

@override
void initState() {
     super.initState();

      _maps = [
         new Appmap(name: "map1"), new Appmap(name: "map2"), new Appmap(name: "map3")
     ];
     _currentMap = _maps[0];
}

@override
void dispose() {
    super.dispose();
}

void _changeMap(Appmap map) {
     setState(() {
        _currentMap = map;
    });
 }

Color _getButtonColor(Appmap map) {
    return map == _currentMap ? Colors.red : Colors.blue;
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
        margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 85.0),
        child: FabDialer(
         _maps
            .map(
                (map) => _fabItem(map),
            )
            .toList(),
        Colors.red,
        Icon(Icons.add)),
   );
}

FabMiniMenuItem _fabItem(Appmap map) {
    return new FabMiniMenuItem.withText(
        new Icon(Icons.arrow_forward),
            _getButtonColor(map),
           2.0,
           map.name,
            () => _changeMap(map),
            map.name,
            Colors.white,
           Colors.grey,
           true);
    }
}

Perhaps my implementation is incorrect and I need to change something. I would appreciate some help.

That's because the FabMiniItems are StatelessWidgets, and cannot be changed after its creation.

ok, good to know. Thanks for your reply.

Have you tried changing the behaviour of the FabMini itself? Right now it does a ripple effect, but maybe you can change it.

I'm actually working on making the fabMini stateful. I'll let you know when I have it working.
