Flutter Error: No named parameter with the name 'child'

Question

I need help, when I run the code below in the android studio I get the following error: Error: No named parameter with the name 'child'

I have also posted below the error message generated by android studio.

I ran flutter upgrade, and now I am getting an error that says- [dart] The named parameter 'child' isn't defined. The project is newly created and the default code is untouched, but it still has the same Error:

import 'package:device_apps/device_apps.dart';
import 'package:firebase_admob/firebase_admob.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';

Answer 1

Look's like you have mentioned "child" attribute in Alert/ShowDailog, Make sure your Alert And ShowDailog matches below code,

  return showDialog(
  context: context, // this context should be passed to Future Function as parameter
  builder: (BuildContext cx) {
    return AlertDialog(
      content: Text("Alert"),
      actions: [
        FlatButton(
            child: Text("Ok"),
            onPressed: () {
              Navigator.pop(cx);
            }),
      ],
    );
  },
);

please provide your code sample to understand what your trying.

Answer 2

showDialog widget takes context and a builder. In builder, we provide the AlertDialog widget with title, content(Description of a title), and actions (Yes or no buttons)

In your code you have used child instead of builder that's why this error is arise, to fix it use a builder inside your showDialog

        showDialog(
            context: context,
            builder: (ctx) => AlertDialog(
              title: Text("Claim Your Coin"),
              content: Text("its verify That you installed the app"),
              actions: <Widget>[
                FlatButton(
                  onPressed: () {
                    Navigator.of(ctx).pop();
                  },
                  child: Text("Okay"),
                ),
              ],
            ),
          );
