I am new to flutter, and would like to open google map How do I fix the error The argument type 'String' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'Uri'

Question

import 'package:url_launcher/url_launcher.dart';

class MapsUtils {
  MapsUtils._();

  //latitude longitude
  static Future<void> openMapWithPosition(
      double latitude, double longitude) async {
    String googleMapUrl =
        "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=$latitude,$longitude";

    if (await canLaunchUrl(googleMapUrl)) {
      await launchUrl(googleMapUrl);
    } else {
      throw "Could not open the map.";
    }
  }

  //text address
  static Future<void> openMapWithAddress(String fullAddress) async {
    String query = Uri.encodeComponent(fullAddress);
    String googleMapUrl =
        "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=$query";

    if (await canLaunchUrl(googleMapUrl)) {
      await launchUrl(googleMapUrl);
    } else {
      throw "Could not open the map.";
    }
  }
}

The argument type 'String' can't be assigned to the parameter type

I am on VS Code and once I finish writing that code this is the error(s) I am getting. Thank you!

The small mistake you've did is stored url as a String and passing that to LaunchUrl. The following changes you've to do...

     ..... // Above Code
     final Uri googleMapUrl = Uri.parse('https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=$query');
     // Add your own below code.......
