What can I try next to resolve this?

Answer 1

The getData() fn should go like this..
void getData() async {
var res = await http.get(Uri.parse('https://www.metaweather.com/api/location/2295420/'));
var r = json.decode(res.body);
setState(() {
listModel = ListModel.fromJson(r); // Change this line
print(listModel);
circular = false;
});
}
