SupervisorProvider class

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:fyp/model/Supervisor.dart';
import 'package:fyp/service/database.dart';
import 'package:uuid/uuid.dart';

class SupervisorProvider with ChangeNotifier{

  final DatabaseService db = DatabaseService();
  String _name;
  String _email;
  String  _icNumber;
  String _numberphone;
  var uuid = Uuid();

  // getters
String get name => _name;
String get email => _email;
String get icNo => _icNumber;
String get nophone => _numberphone;

// setters
   changeName(String value){
     _name=value;
     notifyListeners();
   }
  changeEmail(String value){
    _email=value;
    notifyListeners();
  }
  changePhone(String value){
    _numberphone=value;
    notifyListeners();
  }
  changeIcNumber(String value){
    _icNumber=value;
    notifyListeners();
  }

  addSupervisor(){
    var NewSupervisor = Supervisor(name: name, email: email, icNo: icNo, nophone: nophone, supervisorId: uuid.v4());
      db.addSupervisor(NewSupervisor);
  }
}

then i got my error like this

Error: Could not find the correct Provider above this AddSupervisor Widget

This likely happens because you used a BuildContext that does not include the provider of your choice. There are a few common scenarios:

• The provider you are trying to read is in a different route.

  Providers are "scoped". So if you insert of provider inside a route, then other routes will not be able to access that provider.

• You used a BuildContext that is an ancestor of the provider you are trying to read.

  Make sure that AddSupervisor is under your MultiProvider/Provider. This usually happen when you are creating a provider and trying to read it immediately.

  For example, instead of:

  Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Provider( create: (_) => Example(), // Will throw a ProviderNotFoundError, because context is associated // to the widget that is the parent of Provider<Example> child: Text(context.watch()), ), }

  consider using builder like so:

  Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Provider( create: (_) => Example(), // we use builder to obtain a new BuildContext that has access to the provider builder: (context) { // No longer throws return Text(context.watch()), } ), }

If none of these solutions work, consider asking for help on StackOverflow: https://stackguides.com/questions/tagged/flutter The relevant error-causing widget was: AddSupervisor file:///D:/Android_project/fyp/lib/screen/home/HomeSupervisor.dart:20:83

is there anything that I missing? I need someone help

Answer 1

if you want to use Some class with provider you have to provide one instance of your class to the provider,

for example i do this

class App extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MultiProvider(
      providers: [
        Provider<ThemeStore>(
          create: (_) => ThemeStore(),
        ),
        Provider<AuthStore>(
          create: (_)=> AuthStore(),
        ),
      ],
      builder: (context,w){
        return MaterialApp(
          title: "App",
          theme: context.watch<ThemeStore>().selectedThemeData,
          initialRoute: "/",
          onGenerateRoute: RouteManager.onGenerate,
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

so further down the widget tree i can access the two stores using Provider.of(context)

Answer 2

 class SearchingScreen extends StatelessWidget {
 AuthBase authBase = AuthBase();
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
 return ChangeNotifierProvider(
  create: (_) => UserModel(),
  child:HomeView(),
);

} }
