I am facing _CastError and I am unable to fix it. If anyone can correct the existing code and attach it, it would be much appreciated. I have used the ! operator and I think it's the main reason for this issue. I don't know how to handle this issue . A corrected code and attached would be much appreciated Here is my Code: I am also attaching the error screenshot so please have a look.

CodePudding user response：

You want me to just give you the corrected code, unfortunately, it's not so simple, I don't know how to fix the code, because I don't know what you want to happen, however I can give you recommendations and I can explain the pros and cons of such recommendations:

_audioPlayer.play(_selectedRadio!.url);

The fact that you get an error in this line means that _selectedRadio is null, and that means that url is not a thing.

After reading your code I noticed you only ever assign _selectedRadio on the e playMusic method, but I don't see you calling that method ever, so you have three options:

First, you can assign a default value to the _selectedRadio to make it never be null

from:

MyRadio? _selectedRadio;

to:

MyRadio _selectedRadio = MyRadio(); // I don't know how you initialize this

Second: You can check if _selectedRadio is `null

From:

} else {
  _audioPlayer.play(_selectedRadio!.url);
}

To;

} else {
  if (_selectedRadio != null) {
    _audioPlayer.play(_selectedRadio!.url);
  }
}

Finally, you could provide some fallback value to play if _selectedRadio is null

From:

_audioPlayer.play(_selectedRadio!.url);

To:

_audioPlayer.play(_selectedRadio?.url ?? 'some other url');

Your decision depends on what you want you app to do.
