Answer 1

Your widget has most likely been removed from the tree. Therefore it doesn't have a context anymore.

The problem being, you forgot to unsubscribe to your Stream. Therefore even after being removed from the tree, your widget still attempts to update.

A solution would be to unsubscribe on dispose call:

class Foo extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _FooState createState() => _FooState();
}

class _FooState extends State<Foo> {
  StreamSubscription streamSubscription;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    streamSubscription = Bloc.of(context).myStream.listen((value) {
      print(value);
    });
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    streamSubscription.cancel();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container();
  }
}
