I coded a dropdownbutton so it gets the items from a database from back4app, it shows the user the items that he saved on said database. But when I try to hold the state for the selection of said item, it shows a blank dropdownbutton, eventhough it is showing the items from the database. Here is the error: [A value of type 'String' can't be assigned to a variable of type 'List'. Try changing the type of the variable, or casting the right-hand type to 'List']. What did I do wrong?
DropdownButton<String>(
items: dropdownItems.map((ParseObject value) {
return DropdownMenuItem<String>(
value: value.get<String>('numeracao')!,
child: Text(value.get<String>('numeracao')!),
);
}).toList(),
onChanged: (String? newValue) {
setState(() {
dropdownItems = newValue!;
});
},
),
You need a new var to hold the current value. Let's say
String dropdownValue
. Then yourDropownButton
should look something like this:
