How to fix "The method 'CustomTimerPainter' isn't defined" error in Flutter?


I'm encountering the following error in my Flutter countdown timer implementation:

 59:48: Error: The method 'CustomTimerPainter' isn't defined for the class '_CountDownTimerState'.
 - '_CountDownTimerState' is from 'package:braintrinig/pages/Countdown_timer.dart' ('lib/pages/Countdown_timer.dart'). Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'CustomTimerPainter'.
                    painter: CustomTimerPainter(

Relevant code:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';

class CountDownTimer extends StatefulWidget {
  // ...
}

class _CountDownTimerState extends State<CountDownTimer> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
  // ... 

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // ... 

            CustomPaint(
              painter: CustomTimerPainter( 
                 animation: controller,
                 backgroundColor: Colors.white,
                 color: themeData.indicatorColor,
              ),
            ),

    // ... 
  }
}

Question: Can you help me determine why I'm getting this error and how to resolve it?


Solution

  • It checked that "CustomTimerPainter" is from circular_countdown_timer library. After you add this library, the problem you mentioned will be resolved.

    I pasted your code to my project and install "circular_countdown_timer", I didn't see any error right now.

    circular_countdown_timer pub.dev

    enter image description here

    1. Add circular_countdown_timer in your pubspec.yaml => get => update.
    dependencies:
      circular_countdown_timer: ^0.2.2
    
    1. Import this library into your dart file
    import 'package:circular_countdown_timer/custom_timer_painter.dart';
