You can copy paste run full code below
You need return keyword in buildSuggestions
You can return ListView.builder
code snippet
#override
Widget buildSuggestions(BuildContext context) {
// TODO: implement buildSuggestions
final suggestionList = query.isEmpty
? recentlist
: statelist.where((element) => element.startsWith(query)).toList();
return ListView.builder(
