I'm new to stack overflow so feel free to let me know anything that I am missing to include that will help you all in solving my issue.

I am creating a basic notes application on Android Studio using Dart and Flutter. The issues that I am running into are

• I keep getting a red error screen that says "Type 'init' is not a subtype of type 'string'"
• As well as to when I try to do 'List todo = List();' I get "The default 'List' constructor isn't available when null safety is enabled."

I've been trying to resolve this issue, but been stuck/have been struggling with it for a while now. Was hoping on any advice/how to go about this issue.

Here is my Code, any help is much appreciated:

import 'dart:ffi';

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:units/main.dart';
import '../views/dreams_view.dart';
import '../presenter/dreams_presenter.dart';
import 'home_screen.dart';

class Log_Page extends StatefulWidget {
  final UNITSPresenter presenter;

  Log_Page(this.presenter, {required Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);
  final String title;

  @override
  _LogPageState createState() => _LogPageState();
}

void main ()=> runApp(MyApp());


class _LogPageState extends State<Log_Page> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // TODO: implement build
    return MaterialApp(
        home: Home(),
        debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
        theme: ThemeData(
            primaryColor: Color(0xff2B2D2D),
            scaffoldBackgroundColor: Color(0xff2B2D2D)
        )
    );
  }
}

class Home extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeState createState() => _HomeState();

}

class _HomeState extends State<Home> {
  String input = " ";
  List todo = List(); //todo = diary/log


  //void initState (){
    //todo.add("cycle");
    //super.initState();
  //}


  @override
  Widget build (BuildContext context) {
    return SafeArea(
      child: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(

Wanted a simple notes application/page.

CodePudding user response：

Try to specify the list type and it is recommended to initialize empty list with [] because initialize with List() is deprecated.

List<String> todo = [];

CodePudding user response：

You declared your array incorrectly, try this

List<String> todo = [];

CodePudding user response：

So the problem in your code is that you wanted to initialize a List for which you used this code:

List todo = List();

what you did was you constructed the class of list. In order to declare the list you just have to write :

List todo = [];

if you want to use the previous method you need to keep in mind that This constructor cannot be used in null-safe code. Use List.filled to create a non-empty list. This requires a fill value to initialize the list elements with. To create an empty list, use [] for a growable list or List.empty for a fixed length list (or where growability is determined at run-time).
