setState() or markNeedsBuild called during build

Question

  Refreshments(this.name, this.price);

class ItemsList extends StatelessWidget {
  final Refreshments refreshments;

  ItemsList(this.refreshments);

  @override

  }
}

I am having two errors:

1] Horizontal viewport was given unbounded height . A horizontal viewport was given an unlimited amount of vertical space in which to expand.

2] setState() or markNeedsBuild called during build A vertical renderflex overflowed by 99488 pixels.

Please help me with it . I am creating this app where on each image click a list should be shown below . The images will be in a row and the list should be shown below the row.

Thank you.

Answer 1

In my case I was calling setState method before build method complete process of building widgets.

You can face this error if you are showing snack bar or alert dialog before the completion of build method and in many other cases. so in such situation use below call back function.

WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_){

  // Add Your Code here.

});

or You can also use SchedulerBinding which does the same.

SchedulerBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {

  // add your code here.

  Navigator.push(
        context,
        new MaterialPageRoute(
            builder: (context) => NextPage()));
});
