CodePudding user response：
Try to check in imageControl.text = editProduct.imageUrl;
editProduct.imageUrl should not be null
CodePudding user response：
In your didChangeDependencies method you are instantiating a variable called productId and you are getting a value from ModalRoute.of(context).!.settings.arguments and casting as a String, but this value can be null, that is why you check if it`s null right after that line.
@override
void didChangeDependencies() {
if (isInit) {
final productid = ModalRoute.of(context)!.settings.arguments as String;
if (productid != null) {
editProduct =
Provider.of<Products>(context, listen: false).findById(productid);
initValues = {
'title': editProduct.title,
'description': editProduct.desc,
'price': editProduct.price.toString(),
'imageUrl': '',
};
imageControl.text = editProduct.imageUrl;
}
}
isInit = false;
super.didChangeDependencies();
}
So you can just cast to a nullable string and I think your problem is solved
final productid = ModalRoute.of(context)!.settings.arguments as String?;
