Flutter TextFormField reloads current screen when focused

Question

I have a TextFormField that reloads the current screen when I tap on it to enter text. When I tap on the formfield the software keyboard is displayed briefly before the entire screen reloads and renders all the widgets again. I am running the app on an Android device.

Container(
        child: Form(
          key: _formKey,
          child: Column(
            crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
            children: <Widget>[
              TextFormField(
                validator: (value) {
                  if (value.isEmpty) {
                    return 'Your input cannot be empty';
                  }
                },
              ),
              Padding(
                padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16.0),
                child: RaisedButton(
                  onPressed: () {

                    if (_formKey.currentState.validate()) {
                      print('validated');
                    }
                  },
                  child: Text('Save'),
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
        margin: EdgeInsets.only(top:8.0),
  ),

The problem is that the controller of the TextFormField is rebuild when you click on the field, and that's the reason of your issue.

So to solve that, did you try to create a Statefull widget and then creating a TextEditingController in the State of this widget and passing it as an argument to the TextFormField ?
