Problem I am trying to add a logout image icon in appbar of flutter screen. I have created a asset folder and created directories images/icons/ and placed icons in them. I have mentioned them in pubspec.yaml file. I tried to implement a asset image in appbar but its not working.

Code

pubspe.yaml


    name: mtrack_notifications
    description: Flutter application for MTrack Notifications 

    dependencies:
      flutter:
        sdk: flutter
      # The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
      # Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
      cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
      http: ^0.11.3+16
      shared_preferences: "^0.4.2"

    # For information on the generic Dart part of this file, see the
    # following page: https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/pubspec

    # The following section is specific to Flutter.
    flutter:

      # The following line ensures that the Material Icons font is
      # included with your application, so that you can use the icons in
      # the material Icons class.
      uses-material-design: true

      # To add assets to your application, add an assets section, like this:
      # assets:
      #  - images/a_dot_burr.jpeg
      #  - images/a_dot_ham.jpeg
      assets:
      - assets/images/icons/like.png
      - assets/images/icons/logout.png
      # An image asset can refer to one or more resolution-specific "variants", see
      # https://flutter.io/assets-and-images/#resolution-aware.

      # For details regarding adding assets from package dependencies, see
      # https://flutter.io/assets-and-images/#from-packages

      # To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,
      # in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a
      # "family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a
      # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
      # example:
      # fonts:
      #   - family: Schyler
      #     fonts:
      #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Regular.ttf
      #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Italic.ttf
      #         style: italic
      #   - family: Trajan Pro
      #     fonts:
      #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro.ttf
      #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro_Bold.ttf
      #         weight: 700
      #
      # For details regarding fonts from package dependencies,
      # see https://flutter.io/custom-fonts/#from-packages

Appbar code




    @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        //build a form widget using the form key we created above
        return new Scaffold(
          appBar: new AppBar(
            title: new Text(StringRef.appName),
            actions: [

          new Center(
          child:new Text(

            ),
          )),
          new IconButton(
            icon: new Icon(Icons.close),
            tooltip: 'Closes application',
            onPressed: () => exit(0),
          ),

          new IconButton(
            icon: new Image.asset('images/icons/logout.png'),
            tooltip: 'Closes application',
            onPressed: () => exit(0),
          ),

            ],
          ),

The Problem is in your path you have supplied to your IconButton.

It should be like this.

new IconButton(
            icon: new Image.asset('assets/images/icons/logout.png'),
            tooltip: 'Closes application',
            onPressed: () => exit(0),
          )
