Streambuilder did not display the data from firestore - flutter

Question

i want to make a grid of image by 3 like instagram based on user upload. the streambuilder is not displaying any data from firestore.
i already separate the stream so its not inside the streambuilder.
this is the code
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:firebase_storage/firebase_storage.dart';
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:image_cropper/image_cropper.dart';
import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';
class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
const HomePage({super.key});
#override
State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
}
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
File? imageFile;
String? imageUrl;
final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
String? myImage;
String? myName;
String buttonName = 'click';
int currentIndex = 0;
final icon = CupertinoIcons.chat_bubble_2;
final _constructed = FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('fotoupload')
.orderBy("createAt", descending: true)
.snapshots(); //construct stream first
//final Stream<QuerySnapshot> _constructed = FirebaseFirestore.instance
// .collection('fotoupload')
// .orderBy("createAt", descending: true)
// .snapshots();
void read_userInfo() async {
FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!;
FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users')
.doc(FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.uid)
.get()
.then<dynamic>((DocumentSnapshot snapshot) async {
myImage = snapshot.get('userImage');
myName = snapshot.get('name');
});
}
#override
void initState() {
// TODO: implement initState
super.initState();
read_userInfo(); // refresh and read the user info both myName and myImage
}
Widget gridViewWidget(String docId, String img, String userImg, String name,
DateTime date, String userId, int downloads) {
return GridView.count(
primary: false,
padding: EdgeInsets.all(5),
crossAxisSpacing: 1,
crossAxisCount: 1,
children: [
GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
//createOwnerDetails
},
child: Center(
child: Text(date.toString()),
),
),
GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
//createOwnerDetails
},
child: Image.network(
img,
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
Center(child: Text(userId)),
],
);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
stream: _constructed,
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
return Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
);
} else if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.active) {
if (snapshot.data!.docs.isNotEmpty) {
return GridView.builder(
itemCount: snapshot.data!.docs.length,
gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
crossAxisCount: 3),
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return gridViewWidget(
snapshot.data!.docs[index].id,
snapshot.data!.docs[index]['Image'],
snapshot.data!.docs[index]['userImage'],
snapshot.data!.docs[index]['name'],
snapshot.data!.docs[index]['createAt '].toDate(),
snapshot.data!.docs[index]['uid'],
snapshot.data!.docs[index]['downloads'],
);
},
);
} else {
return Center(
child: Text(
'There is no tasks',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
),
);
}
}
return Center(
child: Text(
'Something went wrong',
style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontSize: 30),
),
);
},
),
);
}
}
does anyone have suggestion? the streambuilder is not displaying the data. and its shows "There is no task".

Answer 1

You are reconstructing the stream again after every build, I recommend you to construct the stream in a private variable then use it in the stream in place of
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('fotoupload').orderBy("createAt", descending: true).snapshots()
as documented here It is implemented like this
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
final _constrcted = FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('fotoupload')
.orderBy("createAt", descending: true)
.snapshots();
//....
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(body: StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
stream: _constrcted,
builder: (context, snapshot) {
//...
}

Answer 2

stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('fotoupload')
.orderBy("createAt", descending: true)
.snapshots(),
There's your prooblem. Do not create the stream in the stream: parameter of a StreamBuilder. It will get re-created on each call to build(), up to 60 times per second if there's an animation on the page. This doesn't give time for any data to appear... in fact it throws it away on each rebuild.
Follow the advice from the FutureBuilder and StreamBuilder documentation: create and initialize the stream in the state and initState of your widget. The value must remain constant for StreamBuilder to do its job.
