Flutter Material icons: some icons dont exist in the flutter's Icons class

I realize that this is a duplicate of this question, but that question does not seem to have any activity so I'm trying to get more attention to this issue.

I am trying to use the percent icon from Material icons, although in the fonts.google.com site,it shows flutter implementation (screenshot attached below), when I try to call it from flutter code I get the error The getter 'percent' isn't defined for the type 'Icons'. (screenshot attached below).

what is the reason for this, and why is google trying to show some icon is supported for flutter when it clearly is not?

fonts.google.com screenshot that shows that the icon is defined for flutter

vsc screenshot that shows the error occurring when trying to call the percent icon

here is my flutter doctor -v output:

Solution

  • Apparently, now with Flutter 2.10, they've added some icons.

    Last but not least, we’ve added 1,028 new Material icons.

    which kinda answers this question, so the clear answer is whenever we encounter such an issue, we have to just sit and wait for flutter to integrate those icons, or use another Icons package.
