Error calling a widget from one Screen while no erro calling the same widget from another - flutter

Question

Getting the following error:
The method '[]' was called on null.
Receiver: null
Tried calling: []("uid")
The relevant error-causing widget was: Container file:///C:/Users/dkasa/Downloads/MICS%20Download/grocery_app/lib/screens/homeScreen.dart:28:14 When the exception was thrown, this was the stack:
#0 Object.noSuchMethod (dart:core-patch/object_patch.dart:54:5)
#1 _VendorCategoriesState.didChangeDependencies (package:grocery_app/widgets/categories_widget.dart:29:88)
#2 StatefulElement._firstBuild (package:flutter/src/widgets/framework.dart:4653:11)
#3 ComponentElement.mount (package:flutter/src/widgets/framework.dart:4469:5)
The widget below, categories_widget.dart, works when called from vendor_home_screen but gets the error when called from HomeScreen. I am not seeing a difference between the vendor_screen and the HomeScreen as to why the error appears.

Answer 1

As the Home has already a list, So when adding another list that comes a problem :
body: ListView(
ShrinkWrap: true,
padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 0.0),
children: [
ImageSlider(),
Container(
color: Colors.white,
child: VendorCategories(),
),
add
sinkWrap :true in your Home Page then Try again hope this will solve your problem .
