title: Flutter Stateful Widget only runs once on build
body: <p>This issue occurred the first time I ran my app today. After some testing I found that the methods I call in the Widget build section only run once on the intital build or hot reload. Previously, these methods would constantly be running. For example, if I printed an integer with the value of 5 in one of the methods, the console would display:</p>
  
  <pre><code>I/flutter (  510): 5
  I/flutter (  510): 5
  I/flutter (  510): 5
  I/flutter (  510): 5
  I/flutter (  510): 5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>etc...</p>
  
  <p>Now the console only prints the integer once (Until I hot reload):</p>
  
  <pre><code>I/flutter (  510): 5
  </code></pre>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Even with an async method it will only print once to the console. </li>
  <li>The same situation applies to error messages.</li>
  <li>It only appears to be broken on the main page.</li>
  <li>This issue occurs on my other apps as well.</li>
  <li>I have ran flutter clean in the console.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>My question would be if I was implementing code like this correctly in the first place? Is there another way I should be doing this, or is flutter broken?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, I appreciate the help!</p>

      printStuff();
