How to fix Lateinitializationerror in flutter [duplicate] - flutter

This question already has answers here:
LateError (LateInitializationError: Field 'latitude' has not been initialized.)
(4 answers)
Closed 4 months ago.
I have a minor bug in my flutter app, it is trying to display a chart of users but before it does it will first display Lateinitializationerror. But then after a few seconds it runs the way I want it to be. How can I fix that bug? Here is my code.
class _AdminDashboardState extends State<AdminDashboard> {
late List<USERdata>? _chartData;
late TooltipBehavior _tooltipbehaviorpie;
#override
void initState() {
getDataFromDatabase().then((value) {
_chartData = getChartData();
_tooltipbehaviorpie = TooltipBehavior(enable: true);
}).whenComplete(() => setState(
() {},
));
super.initState();
}
var mentor_count;
var incubate_count;
Future getDataFromDatabase() async {
final CollectionReference collectionRefIncubate =
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('incubatees');
QuerySnapshot querySnapshotIncubate = await collectionRefIncubate.get();
final length1 = querySnapshotIncubate.docs.length;
incubate_count = length1;
final CollectionReference collectionRefMentor =
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('mentors');
QuerySnapshot querySnapshotMentor = await collectionRefMentor.get();
final length2 = querySnapshotMentor.docs.length;
mentor_count = length2;
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
//users chart
final userData = Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(border: Border.all(color: Colors.black)),
margin: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 20),
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.30,
child: SfCircularChart(
title: ChartTitle(text: 'Users\n(Mentors & Incubates)'),
legend: Legend(
isVisible: true,
overflowMode: LegendItemOverflowMode.wrap,
),
tooltipBehavior: _tooltipbehaviorpie,
series: <CircularSeries>[
PieSeries<USERdata, String>(
dataSource: _chartData,
xValueMapper: (USERdata data, _) => data.user,
yValueMapper: (USERdata data, _) => data.count,
dataLabelSettings: const DataLabelSettings(
isVisible: true,
labelAlignment: ChartDataLabelAlignment.top,
),
enableTooltip: true,
// maximumValue: 40000,
)
],
),
);
return SafeArea(
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text("Dashboard"),
centerTitle: true,
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
userData,
],
),
)));
}
List<USERdata> getChartData() {
final List<USERdata> chartData = [
USERdata('Mentors', mentor_count),
USERdata('Incubatees', incubate_count),
];
return chartData;
}
}
I created late initializations first that will be used for my pie chart, and called the initstate to put them values. The error occurs after I hot restart, but a few seconds after that, it runs the way I want them to be. Is there a way on how to fix this bug?

In this case you should change your late variable to nullable variable:
List<USERdata>? _chartData;
TooltipBehavior? _tooltipbehaviorpie;
and in your build method, check:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if (_chartData == null || _tooltipbehaviorpie == null) {
return const SizedBox(); //may be change your loading widget here
}
// from here you can use _chartData! and tooltipbehaviorpie!
return yourWidget();
}

local state variable not updating

For some weird reason, my local state variable "_jobApplicationState" is not updating.
I see that it is updated in the database, but its not updating on my page.
If I leave the record and come back, everything works as expected.
I am driving this functionality by pressing the button 'Send inquiry'.
I took out a bunch of code to make it easy to read.
I got this to work for a minute at somepoint. but I forgot to save:(

You should separate the UI and logic -> create a jobApplication Model.
Pack all your logic into a ChangeNotifier and notifyListeners on change.
This is also better for performance because it only rebuilds needed parts of the UI.
I can recommend using a ChangeNotifierProvider.
class JobApplicationProvider extends ChangeNotifier {
JobApplication jobapplication = BasicParam.standard;
void setJobApplication(json) async {
jobapplication = JobApplication.fromJson(json);
notifyListeners();
}
}
And in the build Method use it like this:
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
JobApplicationProvider jobApplication= Provider.of(context);
return Text(jobApplication.state);
}

How to block the repeated item in flutter?

I saw this code in KindaCode. This is link ( https://www.kindacode.com/article/flutter-hive-database/#single__comments ) . I want the added item not to be added again. How can I do that? This code, we just add items and delete and olsa upgrade. We just write the name and quantity and adding the item. But if i write the same name as the other one, adds again.

ChangeNotifierProvider can't seem to get List<String>

I am using ChangeNotifierProvider to get a list of strings that i have read from Cloudfirestore. I know that the is okay because i print the legnth of my list to confirm. But somewhere in between the change notifier provider and my UI, I seem to get things lost. Someone help me understand this concept.
Here, i am setting the retrieved list:
class RestorationNetworkService {
static Future<List<String?>> getRepairProducts(RestorationNotifier restNot,) async {
final firebaseref = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
List<String?> repairproducts = [];
final data = await firebaseref.collection("restoration_products").get();
final datasetMap = data.docs.single.data();
repairproducts= (datasetMap['product'] as List).map((e) => e as String).toList();
print(repairproducts.length);
restNot.restoreProductList = repairproducts;
return repairproducts;
}
}
Here is my changeNotifier class:
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
class RestorationNotifier with ChangeNotifier {
List<String?> _repairproducts = [];
set restoreProductList(List<String?> repairproductlist) {
_repairproducts= repairproductlist;
notifyListeners();
}
List<String?> get repairProductList => _repairproducts;
}
Here i am trying to update my UI with the list:
#override
void initState() {
//lets load our future right here
RestorationNetworkService.getRepairProducts(rest);
super.initState();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
List<String?> restProdList = Provider.of<RestorationNotifier>(context, listen: false).repairProductList;
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Restore Furniture')
),
body: Center(
child: SafeArea(
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
children: [
Wrap(
children: repairChips(restProdList),
),
],
),
)),
),
);
}
List<Widget> repairChips(List<String?> restoreProdList) {
List<Widget> chips = [];
int selectedIndex = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < restoreProdList.length; i++) {
Widget item = PhysicalModel(
clipBehavior: Clip.hardEdge,
color: Colors.transparent,
shadowColor: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.3),
elevation: 10,
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10, right: 5),
child: ChoiceChip(
selected: selectedIndex == i,
selectedColor: Color(0xFFF7B239),
label: Text(restoreProdList[i] ?? ''),
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(2)),
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
onSelected: (bool value) {
setState(() {
selectedIndex = i;
});
},
)));
chips.add(item);
}
return chips;
}
}
I can't really seem to trace where exactly i am going wrong?
The list you get from Cloudfirestore not set to the state yet.
for current state in your app, the List<String?> = [ ];
you can modify your init function like below:
#override
void initState() {
// Fetch the data
fetchData();
super.initState();
}
Future<void> fetchData() async {
final state = context.read<RestorationNotifier>(); // initialize state provider
final result = await RestorationNetworkService.getRepairProducts(rest);
state.restoreProductList(result); // you miss this step. that assign the data to state
}
// this is my style using provider.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final appState = context.watch<RestorationNetworkService>(); // we watching any change
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Restore Furniture')
),
body: Center(
child: SafeArea(
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
children: [
// then you can access the object here.
Text('${appState.repairProductList.length}'), //
],
),
)),
),
);
}

Infinite-scroll listview.builder - to expand or not to expand... and more provider value not updating and how to fix "RenderFlex overflowed"

I am trying to build a view/route that will list items fetched from a REST source.
I want to show a notification item below the list while the data is being fetched.
But my ListView builder is constructed around the fetched data's structure, so I figured just have a ListTile fit some appropriate UX elements below the generated list inside a Column - which was kinda working great - or so I thought - until the list grows to fill the screen causing RenderFlex overflowed error. Wrapping the ListView builder in Expanded fixed that but moved the indicator to the bottom of the screen.
In trying to fix it I seem to have broken more of the plumbing and the boolean variable that should control the idicator widget; isLoading: stockSet.isBusyLoading doesn't seem to update.
At the moment if I hardcode it as `` it does sit in the appropraite position but I am back with the RenderFlex overflow.
Once all of this is working I'll be wanting to automatically load items untill the screen is full - not sure where I'll be triggering that from yet.

}
throw Exception('error fetching stocks:');
}
}
Apologies for the convoluted question.
Add mainAxisSize : MainAxisSize.min for the column inside the expanded widget. The expanded doesn't have any bounds and that's why it throws an error. You can wrap the column with a SingleChildScrollView if you have long content to display
This worked for me!
Just set the shrinkWrap attribute to true
Main lesson:
Don't fight the framework.
Answer:
Instead of tying yourself into Möbius knots trying to put the ListView's functionality outside of itself; use the fact that the ListView.builder allows you to sculpt the logic of how it gets built and what it will contain - given that the provider can trigger its rebuild when the variable in the data set changes.
In other words; by increasing the loop of the builder, you can insert a kind of footer to the Listview. The appearance (or not) of that can depend on the provider, provided it fires the appropriate notifyListeners()s etc.

Caveats
I don't know if this is the most efficient way of doing this - perhaps there should be fewer states, etc. ...

Dropdown in flutter from LIST

Displaying the data from my API based on the Dropdown selected value. I want to display on the same page. The data from the server(response) is displaying on the console. But still, this data is not displaying.

I am able to retrieve the data from the server and print it on the console. Still, the data is not displaying. I do not know where I did the mistake.
So I have completely updated the answer and there are many things that you don't follow according to the global standard.
So I have listed some of the key things that you should follow :
Following is you company list json :
[
{
"column_name": "ABC"
},
{
"column_name": "XYZ"
}
]
Following is the get user json that you will get :
{"username":"1111","Name":"ABC" }
And Later the model class I have create accordingly to the json that you provided and then you can create your own based in the added json.
There are Two model classes that I have created :
First model class is for the company :
// To parse this JSON data, do
//
// final youModel = youModelFromJson(jsonString);
import 'dart:convert';
List<YouModel> youModelFromJson(String str) => List<YouModel>.from(json.decode(str).map((x) => YouModel.fromJson(x)));
String youModelToJson(List<YouModel> data) => json.encode(List<dynamic>.from(data.map((x) => x.toJson())));
class YouModel {
String columnName;
YouModel({
this.columnName,
});
factory YouModel.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => YouModel(
columnName: json["column_name"],
);
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
"column_name": columnName,
};
}
second mode class is for the user :
// To parse this JSON data, do
//
// final userModel = userModelFromJson(jsonString);
import 'dart:convert';
UserModel userModelFromJson(String str) => UserModel.fromJson(json.decode(str));
String userModelToJson(UserModel data) => json.encode(data.toJson());
class UserModel {
String username;
String name;
UserModel({
this.username,
this.name,
});
factory UserModel.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => UserModel(
username: json["username"],
name: json["Name"],
);
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
"username": username,
"Name": name,
};
}

And below is the sample Gif file for you :
As stated by #pskink the method _getcompanylist() is async. An async function runs asynchronously, which means that the rest of the program doesn't wait for it to complete. You can use a future builder to deal whit that or you can simply wait for it by using the await function. I believe that for your code snippet future builder is the better choice.
