my usage - inside a Column(children:[])

new Expanded(

                    child: PDFViewer(
                      document: document,

                  ),
                ),

Solution 1

I had the same issue and the problem was I had called the class inside the same class. See the body: below. Replacing it with another widget fixed the issue.

class DicePage extends StatelessWidget {
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
                   home: Scaffold(
                   backgroundColor: Colors.red,
                   appBar: AppBar(
                             title: Text('Dicee'),
                             backgroundColor: Colors.red,
                           ),
                    body: DicePage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Solution 2

I just had a similiar error:

════════ Exception caught by widgets library ═══════════════════════════════════
The following StackOverflowError was thrown building Container:

The relevant error-causing widget was

It might be another reason since I got a stackoverflow, but my answer will hopefully help others who search this error message.
My problem was that I made a widget returning an instance of itself (I named two classes the same):

class ProfileWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  final Profile profile = Profile(name: 'Someone');
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      child: (profile.isAnon) ? AnonProfileWidget() : ProfileWidget(), 
    );
  }
}

I solved it by simply renaming one class.
