Flutter Firestore StreamBuilder getting null value initially

Question

I'm trying to get data from firestore by using stream builder method. initially, when I run the app I don't get any data from firebase. I'm getting Invalid value: Valid value range is empty: 0. once I reload app the data is available please find the code bellow

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder(
        stream: Firestore.instance
            .collection('users/')
            .where('uid', isEqualTo: _userUID)
            .snapshots(),
        builder: (BuildContext context, userSnapshot) {
          if (!userSnapshot.hasData) return WidgetFunctions().loadingWidget();
          return StreamBuilder(
              stream: Firestore.instance
                  .collection('products')
                  .where('latest', isEqualTo: true)
                  .snapshots(),
              builder: (cuserSnapshotontext, snapshot) {
                if (!snapshot.hasData) return WidgetFunctions().loadingWidget();
                if (snapshot.data.documents.length == 0)
                  return const Center(
                    child: Text(
                      "Not Available",
                      style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30.0, color: Colors.grey),
                    ),
                  );

                if (!userSnapshot.data.documents[0]['productViewPermission']) {
                  print('place6');
                  return const Center(
                      child: Text(
                    'You dont have permission to view products \n please contect us',

                  scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
                  itemCount: snapshot.data.documents.length,
                  gridDelegate: new SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
                    crossAxisCount: 2,
                  ),
                  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {

Please help me to fix the issue Thanks in advance

Solution

Well first of all, this block of code has invalid syntax:

if (snapshot.data.documents.length == 0)
  return const Center(
    child: Text(
      "Not Available",
      style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30.0, color: Colors.grey),
    ),
  );

You forgot the opening and closing brackets on the if statement.

And secondly, try an else if on the second if statement, because now, when snapshot.data.documents.length returns null, it will still check for !userSnapshot.data.documents[0], though the list is empty, which is the cause for your RangeError.

So try this:

if (snapshot.data.documents.length == 0) {
  return const Center(
    child: Text(
      "Not Available",
      style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30.0, color: Colors.grey),
    ),
  );
} else if (!userSnapshot.data.documents[0]['productViewPermission']) {
  print('place6');
  return const Center(
    child: Text(
      'You dont have permission to view products \n please contect us',
      style: TextStyle(
        fontSize: 18.0,
        color: Colors.red,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
      )
    );
}
