I'm using the new dart version <2.18.1> with null safety enabled. And I'm using the android studio to code this.

This is maps_screen.dart

This is places_api.dart

import 'dart:convert';

class PlacesAPIProvider{

  final sessionToken;

  PlacesAPIProvider(this.sessionToken);

  final apiKey = 'AIzaSyCSmS579erjjuZFo3WB8vSL_d5T6nGzFA0';

  Future<Object> fetchSuggestions(String query)
  async {
    if( query.isNotEmpty){

      final request = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json'
          'input=$query&types=address&language=en&components=cpuntry:sl'
          '&key=$apiKey&sessointoken=$sessionToken';

      final response = await http.get(Uri.parse(request));

      if(response.statusCode == 200)
      {
        final result = json.decode(response.body);

        if (result['status'] == 'ok')
          {
            return result['predications']
                .map<Suggestion>(
                    (p) => Suggestion( p['place_id'], p['description']))
                .toList();
          }else{

          return [];
        }
      }
      else{
        return [];
      }
    }
    else{
      return [];
    }
    return '';
  }
}

class Suggestion{

  final String placeId;
  final String description;

  Suggestion( this.placeId , this.description);
}

I'm getting this error

The return type 'Object' isn't a 'Future<Iterable<Suggestion>>', as required by the closure's context.

This is where the error is. i put // where the red underline is.

hideOnEmpty: true,
                hideOnLoading: true,
                suggestionsCallback: (pattern) async {
                  return //await PlacesAPIProvider('23456')
                      .fetchSuggestions(pattern);//
                },

and this error in the Run log:

lib/maps_screen.dart:84:26: Error: A value of type 'Object' can't be returned from an async function with return type 'Future<Iterable<Suggestion>>'.
 - 'Object' is from 'dart:core'.

                  return await PlacesAPIProvider('23456')

Please help me I'm a beginner.

I tried google but I couldn't find a similar error.

CodePudding user response：

The return type of fetchSuggestions is List<Suggestion> and not Object. So, change this line.

/// replace Object with Future<Iterable<Suggestion>>
Future<Iterable<Suggestion>> fetchSuggestions(String query) async{}

More optimal way:

    Future<List<Suggestion>> fetchSuggestions(String query) async{}
