I am beginner in Flutter programming.I tried an example and it throws error i.e.A build function returned null.Is there something wrong with my code?
Here is my code.
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Startup Name Generator',
home: RandomWords(),
);
}
}
class RandomWordsState extends State<RandomWords> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final _suggestions = <WordPair>[];
final _biggerFont = const TextStyle(fontSize: 18.0);
Widget _buildRow(WordPair pair) {
return ListTile(
title: Text(
pair.asPascalCase,
style: _biggerFont,
),
);
}
Widget _buildSuggestions() {
return ListView.builder(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
itemBuilder: /*1*/ (context, i) {
if (i.isOdd) return Divider(); /*2*/
final index = i ~/ 2; /*3*/
if (index >= _suggestions.length) {
_suggestions.addAll(generateWordPairs().take(10));
}
return _buildRow(_suggestions[index]);
});
}
}
}
class RandomWords extends StatefulWidget {
@override
RandomWordsState createState() => RandomWordsState();
}
Below are the errors occurred while running code.
I/flutter ( 1781): A build function returned null.
I/flutter ( 1781): The offending widget is:
I/flutter ( 1781): RandomWords
I/flutter ( 1781): Build functions must never return null.
I/flutter ( 1781): To return an empty space that causes the building widget to fill available room, return
I/flutter ( 1781): "Container()". To return an empty space that takes as little room as possible, return
I/flutter ( 1781): "Container(width: 0.0, height: 0.0)".
I/flutter ( 1781):
I/flutter ( 1781): The relevant error-causing widget was:

You did not return any widget to your build
. You need to return a widget in your build which in this case is _buildSuggestions()
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Startup Name Generator',
home: RandomWords(),
);
}
}
class RandomWordsState extends State<RandomWords> {
final _suggestions = <WordPair>[];
final _biggerFont = const TextStyle(fontSize: 18.0);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return _buildSuggestions(); // return a widget
}
Widget _buildRow(WordPair pair) {
return ListTile(
title: Text(
pair.asPascalCase,
style: _biggerFont,
),
);
}
Widget _buildSuggestions() {
return ListView.builder(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
itemBuilder: /*1*/ (context, i) {
if (i.isOdd) return Divider(); /*2*/
final index = i ~/ 2; /*3*/
if (index >= _suggestions.length) {
_suggestions.addAll(generateWordPairs().take(10));
}
return _buildRow(_suggestions[index]);
});
}
}
class RandomWords extends StatefulWidget {
@override
RandomWordsState createState() => RandomWordsState();
