问题:

I have a list of locations that i want to implement as a dropdown list in Flutter. Im pretty new to the language. Here's what i have done.

new DropdownButton(
  value: _selectedLocation,
  onChanged: (String newValue) {
    setState(() {
      _selectedLocation = newValue;
     });
},
items: _locations.map((String location) {
  return new DropdownMenuItem<String>(
     child: new Text(location),
  );
}).toList(),

This is my list of items:

List<String> _locations = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'];

And I am getting the following error.

Another exception was thrown: 'package:flutter/src/material/dropdown.dart': Failed assertion: line 468 pos 15: 'value == null || items.where((DropdownMenuItem<T> item) => item.value == value).length == 1': is not true.

I assume the value of _selectedLocation is getting null. But i am initialising it like so.

String _selectedLocation = 'Please choose a location';

Try this

new DropdownButton<String>(
  items: <String>['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'].map((String value) {
    return new DropdownMenuItem<String>(
      value: value,
      child: new Text(value),
    );
  }).toList(),
  onChanged: (_) {},
)

For the solution, scroll to the end of the answer.

First of all, let's investigate what the error says (I have cited the error that's thrown with Flutter 1.2, but the idea is the same):

Failed assertion: line 560 pos 15: 'items == null || items.isEmpty || value == null || items.where((DropdownMenuItem item) => item.value == value).length == 1': is not true.

There are four or conditions. At least one of them must be fulfilled:

Items (a list of DropdownMenuItem widgets) were provided. This eliminates items == null.
Non-empty list was provided. This eliminates items.isEmpty.
A value (_selectedLocation) was also given. This eliminates value == null. Note that this is DropdownButton's value, not DropdownMenuItem's value.

Hence only the last check is left. It boils down to something like:

Iterate through DropdownMenuItem's. Find all that have a value that's equal to _selectedLocation. Then, check how many items matching it were found. There must be exactly one widget that has this value. Otherwise, throw an error.

The way code is presented, there is not a DropdownMenuItem widget that has a value of _selectedLocation. Instead, all the widgets have their value set to null. Since null != _selectedLocation, last condition fails. Verify this by setting _selectedLocation to null - the app should run.

To fix the issue, we first need to set a value on each DropdownMenuItem (so that something could be passed to onChanged callback):

return DropdownMenuItem(
    child: new Text(location),
    value: location,
);

The app will still fail. This is because your list still does not contain _selectedLocation's value. You can make the app work in two ways:

Option 1. Add another widget that has the value (to satisfy items.where((DropdownMenuItem<T> item) => item.value == value).length == 1). Might be useful if you want to let the user re-select Please choose a location option.
Option 2. Pass something to hint: paremter and set selectedLocation to null (to satisfy value == null condition). Useful if you don't want Please choose a location to remain an option.

See the code below that shows how to do it:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(Example());
}

class Example extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() => _ExampleState();
}

class _ExampleState extends State<Example> {
//  List<String> _locations = ['Please choose a location', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D']; // Option 1
//  String _selectedLocation = 'Please choose a location'; // Option 1
  List<String> _locations = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']; // Option 2
  String _selectedLocation; // Option 2

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: DropdownButton(
            hint: Text('Please choose a location'), // Not necessary for Option 1
            value: _selectedLocation,
            onChanged: (newValue) {
              setState(() {
                _selectedLocation = newValue;
              });
            },
            items: _locations.map((location) {
              return DropdownMenuItem(
                child: new Text(location),
                value: location,
              );
            }).toList(),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

you have to take this into account (from DropdownButton docs):

"The items must have distinct values and if value isn't null it must be among them."

So basically you have this list of strings

List<String> _locations = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'];

And your value in Dropdown value property is initialised like this:

String _selectedLocation = 'Please choose a location';

Just try with this list:

List<String> _locations = ['Please choose a location', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'];

That should work :)

Also check out the "hint" property if you don't want to add a String like that (out of the list context), you could go with something like this:

DropdownButton<int>(
          items: locations.map((String val) {
                   return new DropdownMenuItem<String>(
                        value: val,
                        child: new Text(val),
                         );
                    }).toList(),
          hint: Text("Please choose a location"),
          onChanged: (newVal) {
                  _selectedLocation = newVal;
                  this.setState(() {});
                  });

You need to add value: location in your code to work it. Check this out.

items: _locations.map((String location) {
  return new DropdownMenuItem<String>(
     child: new Text(location),
     value: location,
  );
}).toList(),

回答5:

place the value inside the items.then it will work,

new DropdownButton<String>(
              items:_dropitems.map((String val){
                return DropdownMenuItem<String>(
                  value: val,
                  child: new Text(val),
                );
              }).toList(),
              hint:Text(_SelectdType),
              onChanged:(String val){
                _SelectdType= val;
                setState(() {});
                })

回答6:

You can use DropDownButton class in order to create drop down list :

...
...
String dropdownValue = 'One';
...
...
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
  body: Center(
    child: DropdownButton<String>(
      value: dropdownValue,
      onChanged: (String newValue) {
        setState(() {
          dropdownValue = newValue;
        });
      },
      items: <String>['One', 'Two', 'Free', 'Four']
          .map<DropdownMenuItem<String>>((String value) {
        return DropdownMenuItem<String>(
          value: value,
          child: Text(value),
        );
      }).toList(),
    ),
  ),
);
...
...

For anyone interested to implement a DropDownButton with a custom class you can follow the bellow steps.

Suppose you have a class called Language with the following code and a static method which returns a List<Language>

class Language {
  final int id;
  final String name;
  final String languageCode;

  Language(this.id, this.name, this.languageCode);

 static List<Language> getLanguages() {
     return <Language>[
        Language(1, 'English', 'en'),
        Language(2, 'فارسی', 'fa'),
        Language(3, 'پشتو', 'ps'),
     ];
   }
}

Anywhere you want to implement a DropDownButton you can import the Language class first use it as follow,

   Language _selectedLanguage; // <- define a local property

   DropdownButton(
        underline: SizedBox(),
         decoration: InputDecoration(
            contentPadding:  EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 5),
            border: OutlineInputBorder(),
            hintText: 'Select Languge',
         ),

        items: Language.getLanguages().map((Language lang) {
        return DropdownMenuItem<Language>(
                        value: lang,
                        child: Text(lang.name),
                      );
                    }).toList(),

        onChanged: (Language val) {
                      _selectedLanguage = val;
                   },
      )

回答8:

It had happened to me when I replace the default value with a new dynamic value. But, somehow your code may be dependent on that default value. So try keeping a constant with default value stored somewhere to fallback.

const defVal = 'abcd';
String dynVal = defVal;

// dropdown list whose value is dynVal that keeps changing with onchanged
// when rebuilding or setState((){})

dynVal = defVal;
// rebuilding here...

回答9:

Change

List<String> _locations = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'];

List<String> _locations = [_selectedLocation, 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'];

_selectedLocation needs to be part of your item List;

I was facing a similar issue with the DropDownButton when i was trying to display a dynamic list of strings in the dropdown. I ended up creating a plugin : flutter_search_panel. Not a dropdown plugin, but you can display the items with the search functionality.

Use the following code for using the widget :

    FlutterSearchPanel(
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
        selected: 'a',
        title: 'Demo Search Page',
        data: ['This', 'is', 'a', 'test', 'array'],
        icon: new Icon(Icons.label, color: Colors.black),
        color: Colors.white,
        textStyle: new TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontSize: 20.0, decorationStyle: TextDecorationStyle.dotted),
        onChanged: (value) {
          print(value);
        },
   ),

Let say we are creating a drop down list of currency:

List _currency = ["INR", "USD", "SGD", "EUR", "PND"];
List<DropdownMenuItem<String>> _dropDownMenuCurrencyItems;
String _currentCurrency;

List<DropdownMenuItem<String>> getDropDownMenuCurrencyItems() {
  List<DropdownMenuItem<String>> items = new List();
  for (String currency in _currency) {
    items.add(
      new DropdownMenuItem(value: currency, child: new Text(currency)));
  }
  return items;
}

void changedDropDownItem(String selectedCurrency) {
  setState(() {
    _currentCurrency = selectedCurrency;
  });
}

Add below code in body part:

new Row(children: <Widget>[
  new Text("Currency: "),
  new Container(
    padding: new EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
  ),
  new DropdownButton(
    value: _currentCurrency,
    items: _dropDownMenuCurrencyItems,
    onChanged: changedDropDownItem,
  )
])

回答12:

The error you are getting is due to ask for a property of a null object. Your item must be null so when asking for its value to be compared you are getting that error. Check that you are getting data or your list is a list of objects and not simple strings.

When I ran into this issue of wanting a less generic DropdownStringButton, I just created it:

dropdown_string_button.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
// Subclass of DropdownButton based on String only values.
// Yes, I know Flutter discourages subclassing, but this seems to be
// a reasonable exception where a commonly used specialization can be
// made more easily usable.
//
// Usage: 
// DropdownStringButton(items: ['A', 'B', 'C'], value: 'A', onChanged: (string) {})
//
class DropdownStringButton extends DropdownButton<String> {
  DropdownStringButton({
    Key key, @required List<String> items, value, hint, disabledHint,
    @required onChanged, elevation = 8, style, iconSize = 24.0, isDense = false,
    isExpanded = false, }) : 
    assert(items == null || value == null || items.where((String item) => item == value).length == 1),
        super(
          key: key,
          items: items.map((String item) {
            return DropdownMenuItem<String>(child: Text(item), value: item);
          }).toList(),
        value: value, hint: hint, disabledHint: disabledHint, onChanged: onChanged,
        elevation: elevation, style: style, iconSize: iconSize, isDense: isDense,
        isExpanded: isExpanded,
        );
    }

Use StatefulWidget and setState to update dropdown.

  String _dropDownValue;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DropdownButton(
      hint: _dropDownValue == null
          ? Text('Dropdown')
          : Text(
              _dropDownValue,
              style: TextStyle(color: Colors.blue),
            ),
      isExpanded: true,
      iconSize: 30.0,
      style: TextStyle(color: Colors.blue),
      items: ['One', 'Two', 'Three'].map(
        (val) {
          return DropdownMenuItem<String>(
            value: val,
            child: Text(val),
          );
        },
      ).toList(),
      onChanged: (val) {
        setState(
          () {
            _dropDownValue = val;
          },
        );
      },
    );
  }

initial state of dropdown:
