I can’t insert my data inside my database even when I have already used controller. It still shows this error
The following _CastError was thrown while handling a gesture:
Null check operator used on a null value
Here is my code:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:testerlogin/models/flowerbook.dart';
import 'package:testerlogin/models/user.dart';
import '../common_widgets/buttons.dart';
import 'package:flutter_form_builder/flutter_form_builder.dart';
import '../common_widgets/checkbox.dart';
class FormPage extends StatefulWidget {
const FormPage({Key? key, required this.user}) : super(key: key);
final User user;
@override
State<FormPage> createState() => _FormPageState();
}
class _FormPageState extends State<FormPage> {
final GlobalKey<FormBuilderState> _formKey = GlobalKey<FormBuilderState>();
String selectedValue = 'Bouquet';
final dateController = TextEditingController();
final checkboxController = TextEditingController();
final dropdownController = TextEditingController();
final TextStyle labelStyle = const TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'Poppins',
fontWeight: FontWeight.w500,
);
final TextStyle inputStyle = const TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'Poppins',
fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
);
@override

},
),

},

'Vase',
'Box',
'Basket'

return DropdownMenuItem<String>(

//Submit Button
ButtonGradient(

textStyle: const TextStyle(

Colors.purpleAccent,
Colors.deepPurple,
],
onPressed: () {
if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {
Flowerbook flowerbook = Flowerbook(
deliver_date: dateController.text,
flower_type: checkboxController.text,
arrangement: dropdownController.text,
user_id: widget.user.user_id,
);
Flowerbook.register(flowerbook);
}
},
),
],
),
),
),
],
),
),
),
),
);
}
}
I think something is wrong around here:
onPressed: () {
if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {
Flowerbook flowerbook = Flowerbook(
deliver_date: dateController.text,
flower_type: checkboxController.text,
arrangement: dropdownController.text,
user_id: widget.user.user_id,
);
Flowerbook.register(flowerbook);
}
But it could also be at the widgets
Here is the error:

That cannot be possible because all of the values are already inside the controller.
I tried printing out the data when I pressed submit button. But it still shows the same error, it didn’t even print out the values inside the controller. So, I have removed the code. And tried other ways to fix this.
The code should insert the values to the database after the user have filled in the form.

as mentioned inthe error, on line 187
if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {you’re using
currentState!(Null Check Operator) when (evidently)currentStateis null.I dont know why, but you can confirm by checking this, and handling the
nullcase accordingly, or checking the rest of the code to see why it isnullin this case.You should change the
Formwidget that is a child ofSingleChildScrollViewtoFormBuilder.check README on flutter_form_builder package
