I am trying to make an app that has a button that whenever you press it, it will pop up a bunch of TextFields to input stuff. However, I keep getting the "too many positional arguments 0 expected but 1 found" error. For some reason, this only happens to my first TextField and not to any of the others (if I delete the first TextField the error moves to the new first). I tried putting a semicolon in front of the first TextField and that made that error go away, but then I get a new error of ") expected" and if I put a ), then it auto comments out all my TextFields. What am I doing wrong? (btw I have the correct imports at the top, just not sure if that is sensitive data so I'm leaving that out of this post)

class AdminScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  const AdminScreen({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<AdminScreen> createState() => _AdminScreenState();

    setState(() {});

  String name = "";
  String description = "";
  String dateFound = "";
  String locationFound = "";
  String currentLocation = "";
  String claimed = "";
  bool addDataVisible = false;
  //end of this section

CodePudding user response：

you can not add more than one widget in saffold's body, so you have to add your element's as children in a column

Is this what you're trying to achieve?
