Flutter returns null for AppLocalization.of(context)

Question

I am using Flutter to build a Web-App and I want to use the internationalization feature of flutter on my new app. I was following the Flutter-Tutorial and I try to set the app-title using the arb-file. As mentioned in the tutorial, the app_localization.dart-files are created properly for 'en' and 'de'. Yet, I get a null pointer exception in the following code.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_localizations/flutter_localizations.dart';
import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/app_localizations.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'MyApp',
      localizationsDelegates: [
        AppLocalizations.delegate, // Post-EDIT due to croxx5f
        GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
        GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
        GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
      ],
      supportedLocales: [
        Locale('de', ''),
        Locale('en', ''),
      ],
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.red,
      ),
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.appTitle),
        ),
        body: Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.appTitle)
      ),
    );
  }
}

In fact, AppLocalizations.of(context) returns null.

Solution

You should add the AppLocalizations in your MaterialApp:

MaterialApp(
...
      localizationsDelegates: const [
        AppLocalizations.delegate,
        GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
      ],
      supportedLocales: AppLocalizations.supportedLocales,
...

Ok, apart from the missing AppLocalization.delegate, I noticed that I forgot to add 'intl: ^0.17.0 # Add this line'. Still after that I got the NPE, yet after fixing the title to a constant string, it vanished. Thanks!

Could you post your working code as an answer to this question, please. The accepted answer does not resolve the problem, but you seem to have solved it.

Unfortunately that did not change much, I still get the NPE...

Try to run flutter clean && flutter pub get dependencies && flutter packages get to trigger the codegen from the .arb
