I am developing an app that allows users to check kit within bags on vehicles at their base station.

I so far have the app working so that it takes the user information at log in, and shows the bags available at their particular station, in this case ‘Test Station’. I can successfully show a listView with the relevant bag information from Firestore ‘bags’ collection.

What I would like to do, is when a user taps on a listTile, to update the Boolean value for that particular bag (essentially for that particular document within the bags collection) from false to true and back again. I then want the UI to show a green or red circle Icon accordingly.

I can only work out how to do this when I hardcode the docID for the doc I want to update the boolean of, rather than doing it dynamically dependant on which listTile the user taps on. All help to resolve this appreciated!!

so if I call this function when in the onTap:

CollectionReference bags = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('bags');

 Future<void> updateBagStatus() {
    return bags
        .doc('test_bag')
        .update({'isChecked': true})
        .then((value) => print("isChecked Updated"))
        .catchError((error) => print('Failed: $error'));
  }

then I can flip the Boolean from false to true for that hardcoded bag.

and this is the rest of the code that shows how I construct the listView builder.

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const HomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  String thisUserFirstName = '';
  String thisUserLastName = '';
  String thisUserBase = '';
  String thisStation = '';
  String thisBagChecked = '';

  CollectionReference usersCollection =
      FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('users');
  CollectionReference bags = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('bags');

  Future<void> updateBagStatus() {
    return bags
        .doc('test_bag')
        .update({'isChecked': true})
        .then((value) => print("isChecked Updated"))
        .catchError((error) => print('Failed: $error'));
  }

  void _getData() async {
    User user = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!;
    DocumentSnapshot thisUserSnapshot = await FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection('users')
        .doc(user.uid)
        .get();

    {
      setState(
        () {
          thisUserFirstName = thisUserSnapshot['first name'];
          thisUserLastName = thisUserSnapshot['last name'];
          thisUserBase = thisUserSnapshot['base station'];
        },
      );
    }
  }

  //   return StreamBuilder(
  //     stream: isCheckedSnapshot,
  //     builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshot> snapshot) {
  //       if (!snapshot.hasData) {
  //         print('There is no data');
  //       }

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

  // int selectedIndex = 0;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    Stream<QuerySnapshot> bags = FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection("bags")
        .where("station", isEqualTo: thisUserBase)
        .snapshots();

Your approach is correct. You just need to pass the relevant values as function parameters as shown below:

Future<void> updateBagStatus(String docId, bool status) {
  return bags
      .doc(docId)
      .update({'isChecked': status})
      .then((value) => print("isChecked Updated"))
      .catchError((error) => print('Failed: $error'));
}

onTap: () => updateBagStatus(!data.docs[index]['isChecked'], data.docs[index].id)
