CodePudding user response：

The _CastError (Null check operator used on a null value) error typically occurs when you are trying to access a property or call a method on a null object. This can happen if you are trying to access an object that has not been initialized or if you are trying to access an object that has been deleted.

To fix this error, you need to make sure that the object you are trying to access is not null. One way to do this is to use the null-aware operator (?.) to check if the object is null before accessing its properties or methods.

For example, if you are getting this error when trying to access a property of an object, you can do the following:

Object obj;

// Use the null-aware operator to check if obj is null before accessing its property
String property = obj?.property;

If you are getting this error when trying to call a method on an object, you can do the following:

Object obj;

// Use the null-aware operator to check if obj is null before calling its method
obj?.method();

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

The ! operator in Dart is the not-null assertion operator. It tells the Dart compiler that you are certain that a value is not null, and allows you to access the value without null checks.

If you are using the ! operator and you are getting an exception, it means that the value you are trying to access is actually null. This could be because the value has not been initialized, or because it has been deleted.

To fix this issue, you can either initialize the value or use a null-aware operator (e.g., ?. or ??) to check if the value is null before accessing it.

For example, if you are using the ! operator on a variable called _userImage, you can do the following:

File _userImage;

// Initialize _userImage before accessing it
_userImage = File('path/to/file');

// OR

// Use a null-aware operator to check if _userImage is null before accessing it
String fileName = _userImage?.path;

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
