flutter - type '(dynamic, dynamic) => Null' is not a subtype of type '(dynamic) => dynamic' of 'f'

Question

I just tried parsing data from a firebase realtime database. but has problems when converting to Model I'm trying to parse data from the firebase database on Flutter. But an error said

MY Complete QUIZ: {-M5-R3BqTajbCFk5mQuQ: {coins: 434, isSubmit: true, questions: [{answer: sddsd, name: Why do we use it?, options: [established, adwada, adawda, sddsd], select: }, {answer: adawda, name: Where can I get some?, options: [established, adwada, adawda, sddsd], select: sddsd}, {answer: adwada, name: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing?, options: [established, adwada, adawda, sddsd], select: established}], quizId: YItWgbYjHm}, -M50HhYPnuR7tSC-9ajw: {isSubmit: true, questions: [{answer: dadada, name: Where does it come from?, options: [vvvv, dadada, dsdsdssd, bbbbbb], select: dadada}], quizId: 9pdzphz0x8}}

I/flutter ( 6768): type '(dynamic, dynamic) => Null' is not a subtype of type '(dynamic) => dynamic' of 'f'

Here, the database structure

The following function for fetchMyQuiz()

     Future<Quiz> fetchMyQuiz(String uid) async {
        Quiz _quiz;
    
        var dio = Dio();
        dio.options

Solution

I think your problem is in your parsing process. I used quicktype to generate your models. check them below

class Quiz {
    final int coins;
    final bool isSubmit;
    final List<Question> questions;
    final String quizId;

    Quiz({
        this.coins,
        this.isSubmit,
        this.questions,
        this.quizId,
    });

    Quiz copyWith({
        int coins,
        bool isSubmit,
        List<Question> questions,
        String quizId,
    }) => 
        Quiz(
            coins: coins ?? this.coins,
            isSubmit: isSubmit ?? this.isSubmit,
            questions: questions ?? this.questions,
            quizId: quizId ?? this.quizId,
        );

    factory Quiz.fromRawJson(String str) => Quiz.fromJson(json.decode(str));

    String toRawJson() => json.encode(toJson());

    factory Quiz.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Quiz(
        coins: json["coins"] == null ? null : json["coins"],
        isSubmit: json["isSubmit"] == null ? null : json["isSubmit"],
        questions: json["questions"] == null ? null : List<Question>.from(json["questions"].map((x) => Question.fromJson(x))),
        quizId: json["quizId"] == null ? null : json["quizId"],
    );

    Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "coins": coins == null ? null : coins,
        "isSubmit": isSubmit == null ? null : isSubmit,
        "questions": questions == null ? null : List<dynamic>.from(questions.map((x) => x.toJson())),
        "quizId": quizId == null ? null : quizId,
    };
}

class Question {
    final String answer;
    final String name;
    final List<String> options;
    final dynamic select;

    Question({
        this.answer,
        this.name,
        this.options,
        this.select,
    });

    Question copyWith({
        String answer,
        String name,
        List<String> options,
        dynamic select,
    }) => 
        Question(
            answer: answer ?? this.answer,
            name: name ?? this.name,
            options: options ?? this.options,
            select: select ?? this.select,
        );

    factory Question.fromRawJson(String str) => Question.fromJson(json.decode(str));

    String toRawJson() => json.encode(toJson());

    factory Question.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Question(
        answer: json["answer"] == null ? null : json["answer"],
        name: json["name"] == null ? null : json["name"],
        options: json["options"] == null ? null : List<String>.from(json["options"].map((x) => x)),
        select: json["select"],
    );

    Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "answer": answer == null ? null : answer,
        "name": name == null ? null : name,
        "options": options == null ? null : List<dynamic>.from(options.map((x) => x)),
        "select": select,
    };
}

I think this is a cast exception. check the runtimeType of your data like this print(response.data.runtimeType);. also, log stack of your error.

[Muhammad Imanudin]

@PayamZahedi when i check it says RunType _InternalLinkedHashMap<String, dynamic>

[Muhammad Imanudin]

I have tried various methods such as Map<String, dynamic>.from(json) or <String, dyanmic>.cast (json) but still doesn't work

[Payam Zahedi]

please share your JSON result and stack too.

[Muhammad Imanudin]

im added it in questions @PayamZahedi
