E/EventChannel#plugins.flutter.io/connectivity_status(28677): Failed to close existing event stream

Question

I have started development in flutter. In one scenario I have to check if the user is connected to internet or not. I am using connectivity 0.4.9+5 and data_connection_checker 0.3.4 in combination to check if user has active connection or not.

I have create one file internet_connectivity_service.dart which perform all the task related to it.

class InternetConnectivityService {
  StreamSubscription<ConnectivityResult> _subscription;

  /*
    * This function check if the device has internet connectivity.
    * With the help of DataConnectionChecker it checks for actual internet connectivity. 
  */
  Future<bool> _checkConnectivity() async {
    if (await DataConnectionChecker().hasConnection) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  }

  /*
    * This function is invoked to on each connection change request.
    * Using Connectivity package it will check for connectivity and connection type.
    * This function has return type of Future<bool> which perform async request to check connectivity.
    * After checking connection type it check for divice has internet accesssible or not.
  */
  Future<bool> _hasInternet() async {
    var connectivityResult = await (Connectivity().checkConnectivity());
    if (connectivityResult == ConnectivityResult.mobile) {
      return _checkConnectivity();
    } else if (connectivityResult == ConnectivityResult.wifi) {
      return _checkConnectivity();
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  }

  StreamSubscription<ConnectivityResult> initInterNetConnectivitySubscription(
      BuildContext context) {
    // * Subscribe to connectivity changes
    _subscription = Connectivity().onConnectivityChanged.listen(
      (ConnectivityResult result) {
        _hasInternet().then(
          (result) {
            // * When internet is disconnected
            Size size = MediaQuery.of(context).size;
            if (!result) {
              Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(
                snackBarBuilder(
                    color: kErrorColor,
                    text: 'Connection Lost',
                    context: context),
              );
            } else {
              Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(
                snackBarBuilder(
                    color: kSuccessColor, text: 'Connected', context: context),
              );
            }
          },
        );
      },
    );
    return _subscription;
  }

  disposeSubscription() {
    _subscription.cancel();
  }
}

Function initInterNetConnectivitySubscription and disposeSubscription are used for subscribe and unsubscribe for particular event. I am calling these methods from component where I want this functionality.

For Example:

     InternetConnectivityService internetConnectivityService =
      InternetConnectivityService();

  @override
  initState() {
    internetConnectivityService.initInterNetConnectivitySubscription(context);
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  dispose() {
    internetConnectivityService.disposeSubscription();
    super.dispose();
  }

By doing so functionality is working sometimes but sometimes I am facing error stating E/EventChannel#plugins.flutter.io/connectivity_status(28677): Failed to close existing event stream.

Due to this error my application is not getting crash but sometime functionality doesnot work as desired. Please let me know if I am making some mistake or if their is better way of doing so. I just wan't to have functionality in which when user don't have connection than application will show stating that you are not connected to internet.

Solution

I assume you have already solved this problem so this if for the people who come in the future and still have this problem.

I fixed it by upgrading to the latest version where they fixed the issue:

connectivity: ^2.0.2
