[maxbhoria]

E/AndroidRuntime( 1459): java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference

Hi, how are you picking the file?

[maxbhoria]

Hi, how are you picking the file?

I am using this code

void pickFile() async {
setState(() => _loadingPath = true);
try {
_path = null;
_path = await FilePicker.getFilePath(
type: _pickingType, allowedExtensions: (_extension?.isNotEmpty ?? false) ? _extension?.replaceAll(' ', '')?.split(',') : null);
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
print("Unsupported operation" + e.toString());
}
if (!mounted) return;
setState(() {
_loadingPath = false;
_fileName = _path != null ? _path.split('/').last : _paths != null ? _paths.keys.toString() : '...';
});
}

Please, don’t use that. That’s an example code that’s made to fit a lot of use cases with a few lines and shouldn’t be used at on your project.

Check the plugin’s Wiki that has a lot of well documented examples for each use case and let me know if it worked for you.

Thanks!

Now i used this code but app still crashing

File extraFile = await FilePicker.getFile(type: FileType.any);
setState(() {
fileName = basename(extraFile.path);
});

@maxbhoria when you run the example app, does that happen?

[maxbhoria]

@maxbhoria when you run the example app, does that happen?
No this is not happened when i download code from github.

[miguelpruivo]

Hum, there must be something in your project that's resulting in type being null. Which file_picker version are you on? By looking at your stack trace, it's invoking type as null in a place where it can't be null.

Also, run a full flutter clean and build again.

Plugin version is file_picker: ^1.10.0
tried many time with flutter clean

Can you tell me how to directly use github plugin directly in my app?

[miguelpruivo]

If you can't reproduce it with the example app, then likely there must be something related to some conflict on your project.

There's no need to use the github project directly on your project as it won't make any difference or whatsoever, but may help you get rid of cached issues. You can give it a try. Just use it like this:

file_picker:
  git: https://github.com/miguelpruivo/flutter_file_picker.git

ok thanks, let me try this!

[maxbhoria]

file_picker:

it also did not worked error is same

[miguelpruivo]

Yes, like I told you, pubdev has the same version. I really would like to help you, but I quite don't get what might be triggering it. Maybe post your code block that's asking for the picker.

[maxbhoria]

however it does not require any specific setting for android

[maxbhoria]

i tried with another new project but the output is same. Have you find anything or have you tried by creating new project to check?

[maxbhoria]

Do you remember any other settings that you did in your example because i don't how your example running perfectly

[maxbhoria]

is this the problem because of i am using kotlin and your plugin is in java?? Because i copy your android folder from the example and i paste it into my sample it worked for me

[miguelpruivo]

It shouldn't have any issue with kotlin projects. But try recreating your project from scratch or run flutter create . on your project so it can add missing files and run it again.

[maxbhoria]

Hello
I commented this code in plugin FilePickerDeligate.java, will it create any further issue in my application?

// if (type.equals("dir") && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
// uri = DocumentsContract.buildDocumentUriUsingTree(uri, DocumentsContract.getTreeDocumentId(uri));
// }

[miguelpruivo]

If you’re not planning to pick directories then not. I forgot to ask, what’s the minimum Android sdk of your app?

[maxbhoria]

If you’re not planning to pick directories then not. I forgot to ask, what’s the minimum Android sdk of your app?

yes of course i don't have plan to pick dir as of now but Please make a fix for this problem and my mini sdk is 21.

Thanks for your support

[miguelpruivo]

@maxbhoria I can’t make a fix if I don’t get what’s triggering your issue but I’ll give it a look, could you please tell me details of your app’s build gradle and which version your android device is on?

[maxbhoria]

You can check by creating a new project what wrong is triggered beacause i tried by creating new project also.

I am using Andorid 10 and this is app level gradle

def localProperties = new Properties()
def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties')
if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) {
localPropertiesFile.withReader('UTF-8') { reader ->
localProperties.load(reader)
}
}

def flutterRoot = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.sdk')
if (flutterRoot == null) {
throw new GradleException("Flutter SDK not found. Define location with flutter.sdk in the local.properties file.")
}

def flutterVersionCode = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionCode')
if (flutterVersionCode == null) {
flutterVersionCode = '1'
}

def flutterVersionName = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionName')
if (flutterVersionName == null) {
flutterVersionName = '1.0'
}

[nicolas-costa]

@maxbhoria if you want a quick workaround, use file_picker: 1.7.0.
I was facing the same issue here, strangely enough, the code was working on Friday 5.
The older version "solved" it.

[miguelpruivo]

@nicolas-costa did you update it since Friday? The last update only introduced directory picks but for some reason this issue results in file type (apparently) being null where it can’t be, still trying to understand what might be resulting in it but no luck so far.

[nicolas-costa]

@miguelpruivo I didn't intentionally updated it. What I can tell you is that I installed it last week to make some tests and see if it would fit my needs. I followed the docs, where, as you know, it instructs to add "file_picker: ^1.7.1". It was working perfectly.

Then it stopped working somehow. I messed around trying to figure it out, without luck. Then stumbled on this version bump (1.10.0) on my pubspec file, found this issue and had the idea to rollback to 1.7. Boom, working again.

So I guess the package manager updated it for me due to the: ^.

[nikitaIndianic]

see when i tried to pick image from that particular folder i am getting crash

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic thanks, I'm looking into it. Does that happen only with that folder?

[nikitaIndianic]

i tried with nexus 5x emulator in this device i am getting crash while selection image from download folder too.

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic just tried creating a new 5x emulator with the settings you gave me and it works flawlessly. There must be something else triggering the issue.

If you look into the source code, you see that the type can't be null where it is saying it is, as I have a type null check just a few lines before that. Oddly, in your activity result, the type becomes null magically.

Does that happen in a brand new Flutter project? Would you mind to try please?

[nikitaIndianic]

yes i have tried in new project but getting same issue.
yes i am too confused because before that it's working fine.

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic post your flutter doctor -v here please.

@nikitaIndianic hum, you are in an old stable that's more than 6 months old, despite having a few earlier hotfixes (I'm currently on the latest 1.17). Would you mind trying flutter upgrade and try afterwards? Might be related.

[nikitaIndianic]

i used this version bcs in latest stable version giving issue while we long press on edittext it is not giving paste option.
still let me try with latest version

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic that's weird. Copy/paste is working properly for me. Let me know if it made any difference.

yes in latest version it's working

but i am facing issue with copy/paste will you please verify once is it option working on latest stable version

[miguelpruivo]

Ok, so basically this is an issue with Flutter on older versions, surprisingly. @maxbhoria would you mind upgrading Flutter to latest stable as well and see if its working for you? Thanks!
