Issue
I am trying to create a movie details app and this is my code so far for my page:
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: CustomScrollView(
slivers: <Widget>[
SliverAppBar(
expandedHeight: _appBarHeight,
pinned: true,
flexibleSpace: FlexibleSpaceBar(
title: Text(movie.title),
background: Stack(
fit: StackFit.expand,
children: <Widget>[
Hero(
tag: movie.id,
child: Image.network(
movie.posterArtUrl,
fit: BoxFit.cover,
height: _appBarHeight,
))
],
),
),
),
SliverList(
delegate: SliverChildListDelegate(<Widget>[
RatingInfo(movie),
_buildMovieDetails(_movieDetail),
_buildMovieGenreChips(_movieDetail),
]),
)
],
),
);
}
As you can see, this page is mostly powered by two methods, _buildMovieDetails() and _buildMovieGenreChips(). The _buildMovieDetails() method works just fine and doesn’t return an error when it runs. However, the issue arises when I run the _buildMovieGenreChips() method. This method looks like the following:
Widget _buildMovieGenreChips(MovieDetail movieDetail) {
if (_isLoading) {
return Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
);
}
else {
print(movieDetail.genres.toString());
}
}
}
At this point in time, the method does nothing more than log out the value of movieDetail.genres, which is a list of a custom genre object that I created (which consists of a string for the genre name and and int for the genre id). However, when this code is run, my app crashes and the following stack trace is returned:
I/flutter ( 9592): [Instance of 'Genre', Instance of 'Genre', Instance of 'Genre', Instance of 'Genre']

As seen in the first line of the stack trace, my print statement works just fine, but my app crashes right after that and it seems as though Flutter’s widgets library crashes. Has anyone run into this issue before?
Solution
Your method is supposed to return a Widget, but when _isLoading is false it returns nothing.
Give this a try.
Widget _buildMovieGenreChips(MovieDetail movieDetail) {
if (_isLoading) {
return Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
);
}
else {
print(movieDetail.genres.toString());
return Text("some widget");
}
}
}
