showBottomSheet Scaffold issue with context - dart

Question

Trying to implement showBottomSheet into my app, but it is throwing an error: Scaffold.of() called with a context that does not contain a Scaffold.
After searching the web a bit, I added a GlobalKey but that seems like it is not doing the trick. Does anyone have a suggestion?
class _DashboardState extends State<Dashboard> {
final _scaffoldKey = GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
int _bottomNavBarCurrentIndex = 0;
dashboardViews.DashboardView dView = new dashboardViews.DashboardView();
List<Widget> _listOffers = new List<Widget>();
Widget _currentView;
void loadDashboardView() {
_currentView = (_bottomNavBarCurrentIndex == 0
? dView.getOfferView(_listOffers, _getOfferData)
: dView.getOrdersView());
}
_showInfoSheet() {
showBottomSheet(
context: _scaffoldKey.currentContext,
builder: (context) {
return Text('Hello');
});
}
Future _getOfferData() async {
loadDashboardView();
List<Widget> _resultsOffers = new List<Widget>();
SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
String _token = prefs.getString('token');
final responseOffers =
await http.get(globals.apiConnString + 'GetActiveOffers?token=$_token');
if (responseOffers.statusCode == 200) {
List data = json.decode(responseOffers.body);
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
_resultsOffers.add(GestureDetector(
onTap: () => _showInfoSheet(),
child: Card(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(15),
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
Row(children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
flex: 5,
child: Text('${data[i]['Title']}',
style: TextStyle(
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
color: globals.themeColor4))),
Expanded(
flex: 3,
child: Row(children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.access_time,
size: 15, color: Colors.grey),
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(5, 0, 10, 0),
child: Text('11:30 PM',
style:
TextStyle(color: Colors.black))),
])),
Expanded(
flex: 1,
child: Row(children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.local_dining,
size: 15, color: Colors.grey),
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(5, 0, 0, 0),
child: Text('${i.toString()}',
style:
TextStyle(color: Colors.black))),
])),
]),
Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(10)),
Row(children: <Widget>[
Text(
'Created May 2, 2019 at 2:31 PM',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.grey[600]),
textAlign: TextAlign.start,
)
])
])))));
}
}
setState(() {
_listOffers = _resultsOffers;
});
loadDashboardView();
}
}
void _bottomNavBarTap(int index) {
setState(() {
_bottomNavBarCurrentIndex = index;
loadDashboardView();
});
}
void pullRefresh() {
_getOfferData();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
key: _scaffoldKey,
backgroundColor: Colors.grey[200],
body: _currentView,
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
onTap: _bottomNavBarTap,
currentIndex: _bottomNavBarCurrentIndex,
items: [
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.near_me), title: Text('OFFERS')),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.broken_image), title: Text('ORDERS'))
],
),
);
}
}
Hope someone can point me in the right direction, thanks!
EDIT: Here is one of the links I looked at with the same problem, and I tried setting the builder context to c as suggested but didn't work: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/23234
EDIT 2: Adding screenshot that shows the variable contents when I'm getting the Scaffold.of() called with a context that does not contain a Scaffold error.

The reason you're getting this error is because you're calling Scaffold during its build process, and thus your showBottomSheet function can't see it. A workaround this problem is to provide a stateful widget with a Scaffold, assign the Scaffold a key , and then pass it to your Dashboard (I assumed it is the name of your stateful widget from your state class). You don't need to assign a key to the Scaffold inside the build of _DashboardState.
This is the class where you provide a Scaffold with key:
class DashboardPage extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_DashboardPageState createState() => _DashboardPageState() ;
}
class _DashboardPageState extends State<DashboardPage> {
final GlobalKey<ScaffoldState> scaffoldStateKey ;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
key: scaffoldStateKey,
body: Dashboard(scaffoldKey: scaffoldStateKey),
);
}
Your original Dashboard altered :
class Dashboard extends StatefulWidget{
Dashboard({Key key, this.scaffoldKey}):
super(key: key);
final GlobalKey<ScaffoldState> scaffoldKey ;
#override
_DashboardState createState() => new _DashboardState();
}
Your _DashboardState with changes outlined :
class _DashboardState extends State<Dashboard> {
int _bottomNavBarCurrentIndex = 0;
dashboardViews.DashboardView dView = new dashboardViews.DashboardView();
List<Widget> _listOffers = new List<Widget>();
Widget _currentView;
void loadDashboardView() {
_currentView = (_bottomNavBarCurrentIndex == 0
? dView.getOfferView(_listOffers, _getOfferData)
: dView.getOrdersView());
}
_showInfoSheet() {
showBottomSheet(
context: widget.scaffoldKey.currentContext, // referencing the key passed from [DashboardPage] to use its Scaffold.
builder: (context) {
return Text('Hello');
});
}
Future _getOfferData() async {
loadDashboardView();
List<Widget> _resultsOffers = new List<Widget>();
SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
String _token = prefs.getString('token');
final responseOffers =
await http.get(globals.apiConnString + 'GetActiveOffers?token=$_token');
if (responseOffers.statusCode == 200) {
List data = json.decode(responseOffers.body);
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
_resultsOffers.add(GestureDetector(
onTap: () => _showInfoSheet(),
child: Card(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(15),
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
Row(children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
