Missing selector such as '.identifier' or '[0]'. TapGestureRecognizer

final tapRecognizer = TapGestureRecognizer()
    ..onTap!() = () =>
        AppGlobalFunctions().openExternalLink("https://xxxxxx.xxx");

How to duplicate:

  1. Create new flutter project

  2. Copy final tapRecognizer = TapGestureRecognizer() ..onTap!() = () => debugPrint("Hello world"); and paste code in _MyHomePageState

  3. import 'package:flutter/gestures.dart' import 'package:flutter/gestures.dart';

  4. run project


Solution

  • i think you want to assigning the OpenExternaLink function to the tapRecognizer

    so do it like this:

      final tapRecognizer = TapGestureRecognizer()
          ..onTap = () =>
              AppGlobalFunctions().openExternalLink("https://xxxxxx.xxx");
