  }
}

class _MyAppState extends State {
  final TextEditingController _controller = TextEditingController();
  Future _futureAlbum;

          alignment: Alignment.center,
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),

              ? Column(
                  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                  children: [

                      onPressed: () {
                        setState(() {
                          _futureAlbum = createAlbum(_controller.text);
                        });

                    ),

                )
              : FutureBuilder(
                  future: _futureAlbum,
                  builder: (context, snapshot) {
                    if (snapshot.hasData) {
                      return Text(snapshot.data.title);
                    } else if (snapshot.hasError) {
                      return Text("${snapshot.error}");
                    }

                    return CircularProgressIndicator();
