The method '-' was called on null error on initial load. Error resolves on hot reload. #139

Shantaviae · 2019-10-13T17:10:50Z

When I run my app with the Swiper configured as such I get the error below. This error goes not throw (or "fixes itself") when I reload the app. If I change layout to SwiperLayout.DEFAULT I do not get this error.

LimitedBox(
maxHeight: cardSize.height,
child: Swiper(
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
if (goalsRepository.goals.length > 0) {
Goal goal = goalsRepository.goals[index];
return GoalCard(
goal: goal,
cardSize: cardSize,
key: ValueKey(goal.id));
}
return null;
},
itemCount: goalsRepository.goals.length,
layout: SwiperLayout.STACK,
itemWidth: cardSize.width,
itemHeight: cardSize.height,
controller: SwiperController(),
onIndexChanged: (index) =>
goalsRepository.updateViewingGoal(index),
),
),

Just add return goalsRepository.goals.isNotEmpty? Swiper(....
#47 (comment)

Shantaviae · 2019-10-16T21:07:28Z

The goals list is initialized prior to the build and I've tested that it has content. I'm pretty sure its an issue specifically with the stack layout because when I go back to the default layout (without changing anything else) this error isn't thrown.

mario202k · 2019-10-16T21:58:48Z

No. It's not the culprit(stack layout ) I know that changing layout (SwiperLayout.TINDER) occured an error unless the default.
You must test your list (itemCount) before !!!!! Swiper.
Not as you've done into the itemBuilder.

itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) { if (goalsRepository.goals.length > 0) {

Shantaviae · 2019-10-16T23:00:56Z

Hi,

I refactored my code to clean it up a bit. Let me know if I've still misinterpreted your suggestion. It's still throwing the same error as above when I run my app in debug mode (it doesn't when I do a hot reload). When I change the bold line to layout: SwiperLayout.DEFAULT, and hard restart the app in debug mode, I do not get an error. That's why I was concerned it's an issue with STACK layout. From the documentation, they don't appear to require different parameters, so I'm really stuck on how to figure out what's wrong with my code. Thanks for your help by the way!

class CustomSwiper extends StatelessWidget {
  GoalsRepository goalsRepository;
  Size cardSize;
  CustomSwiper({@required this.goalsRepository, @required this.cardSize});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    print('number of goals ${goalsRepository.goals.length.toString()}');
    if (goalsRepository.goals.length > 0) {
      return LimitedBox(
        maxHeight: cardSize.height,
        child: Swiper(
          itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
            Goal goal = goalsRepository.goals[index];
            return GoalCard(
                goal: goal, cardSize: cardSize, key: ValueKey(goal.id));
          },
          itemCount: goalsRepository.goals.length,
          layout: SwiperLayout.STACK,
          itemWidth: cardSize.width,
          itemHeight: cardSize.height,
          controller: SwiperController(),
          onIndexChanged: (index) => goalsRepository.updateViewingGoal(index),
        ),
      );
    } else {
      return LimitedBox(
        maxHeight: cardSize.height,
        child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
      );
    }
  }
}

mario202k · 2019-10-17T08:13:17Z

I would change limitedBox by ConstrainedBox or SizedBox Because LimitedBox : A box that limits its size only when it's unconstrained whereas Swiper have itemWidth and itemHeight.
I've spent days on that issue
If the data from the internet why don't you use StreamBuilder?
Take a sneak peek on my code.

StreamBuilder(
stream: slides,
initialData: [],
builder: (context, AsyncSnapshot snap) {
List slideList = snap.data.toList();
if (slideList.isNotEmpty) {
slideList.forEach((f) {
events.add(MonEvent.fromMap(f));
});
}
return Hero(
tag: '123',
child: slideList.isNotEmpty
? Swiper(
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return Image.network(
slideList[index]['image'],
fit: BoxFit.fill,
);
},
itemCount: slideList.length,
pagination: SwiperPagination(),
control: SwiperControl(),
onTap: (index) {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/details',
arguments: events[index]);
},
itemWidth: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width -
MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.1,
itemHeight: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height -
MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.1,
layout: SwiperLayout.TINDER,
loop: true,
outer: true,
autoplay: true,
autoplayDisableOnInteraction: false,
)
: Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
),
);
})`

This rly might be a plugins bug. The problem is that at one frame the _swiperHeight is null so it crashes.
I solved this by creating my own layout, that looks almost exactly same as the STACK one.

layout: SwiperLayout.CUSTOM,
 customLayoutOption: new CustomLayoutOption(
          startIndex: ITEMS_COUNT - 3,
          stateCount: 5
      ).addScale([
          0.7,
          0.8,
          0.9,
          1.0,
          1.0,
      ], Alignment.center).addTranslate([
          Offset(0.0, -45.0),
          Offset(0.0, -45.0),
          Offset(0.0, -20.0),
          Offset(0.0, 0.0),
          Offset(0.0, ITEM_HEIGHT),
      ]).addOpacity([
          0.0,
          0.75,
          0.95,
          1.0,
          0.0,
      ]),

If you use MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * X for itemHeight, then change values in .addTransalte for % values as well..

for example:

_maxHeight = MediaQuery.of(context).size.height;
_itemHeight = _maxHeight  * 0.4;

.addTranslate([
         new Offset(0.0, -_maxHeight * 0.1),
         new Offset(0.0, -_maxHeight * 0.085),
         new Offset(0.0, -_maxHeight * 0.04),
         new Offset(0.0, 0.0),
         new Offset(0.0, _itemHeight),
       ])
