i created seperated files for the geolocator called helping methods and address class for placename and address attributes and included them in the search page this is the given error
======== Exception caught by widgets library ======================================================= The getter 'placename' was called on null. Receiver: null Tried calling: placename
this is the search page file

this is where I included the geolocotor URL
import 'package:connectivity/connectivity.dart';
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';
import 'package:reviver_app/datamodels/address.dart';
import 'package:reviver_app/dataproviders/appdata.dart';
import 'package:reviver_app/globalvariables.dart';
import 'package:reviver_app/helpers/requesthelper.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
class HelperMethods {
static Future<String> findCordinateAddress(Position position, context) async {
String placeaddress = '';
var connectivityResult = await Connectivity().checkConnectivity();
if (connectivityResult != ConnectivityResult.mobile &&
connectivityResult != ConnectivityResult.wifi) {
return placeaddress;
}
String url =
'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=${position.latitude},${position.longitude}&key=$mapKey';
var response = await RequestHelper.getRequest(url);
if (response == 'failed') {
placeaddress = response['results'][0]['formatted_address'];
Address pickupaddress = new Address();
pickupaddress.longitude = position.longitude;
pickupaddress.latitude = position.latitude;
pickupaddress.placename = placeaddress;
Provider.of<AppData>(context, listen: false)
.updatePickupAddress(pickupaddress);
}
return placeaddress;
}
}
```
this is the app data file
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:reviver_app/datamodels/address.dart';
class AppData extends ChangeNotifier{
Address pickupaddress;
void updatePickupAddress(Address pickup){
pickupaddress = pickup;
notifyListeners();
}
}
this is the address class from where I added place name
class Address {
String placename;
double latitude;
double longitude;
String placeId;
String placeformattedaddress;
Address({
this.placeId,
this.latitude,
this.placename,
this.longitude,
this.placeformattedaddress,
});
}
In your searchpage, update the url String of the
searchPlace()method.You have used a placeholder for the
placeName, hence you don't have to add the+Amphitheatreas it is considered as a raw string.
