how to keep the state of my widgets after scrolling?

Question

I'm codeing an app with flutter an i'm haveing problems with the development. I'm trying to have a listview with a custom widget that it has a favourite icon that represents that you have liked it product. I pass a boolean on the constructor to set a variables that controls if the icons is full or empty. When i click on it i change it state. It works awesome but when i scroll down and up again it loses the lastest state and returns to the initial state. Do you know how to keep it states after scrolling?

Here is my code:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: new MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: new ListView.builder(
        itemCount: 100,
        itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index){
          return new LikeClass(liked: false);
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

class LikeClass extends StatefulWidget {
  final bool liked;//i want this variable controls how heart looks like

  LikeClass({this.liked});

  @override
  _LikeClassState createState() => new _LikeClassState();
}

class _LikeClassState extends State<LikeClass> {
  bool liked;
  @override
  void initState() {
    liked=widget.liked;
  }
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Container(
      child: new Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          new GestureDetector(
            onTap:((){
              setState(() {
                liked=!liked;
                //widget.liked=!widget.liked;
              });
            }),
            child: new Icon(Icons.favorite, size: 24.0,
              color: liked?Colors.red:Colors.grey,
              //color: widget.liked?Colors.red:Colors.grey,//final method to control the appearance
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

If you don't have many items in the ListView you can replace it with a SingleChildScrollview and a Column so that the Widgets aren't recycled. But it sounds like you should have a list of items where each item has an isFavourite property, and control the icon based on that property. Don't forget to setState when toggling the favorite.
