How to solve Error: Only static member can accessed in initializers ?

Solution 1

Initializers are executed before the constructor, but this is only allowed to be accessed after the call to the super constructor (implicit in your example) was completed. Therefore only in the constructor body (or later) access to this is allowed.
You can use this method

Widget getEmailController(){
return new TextFormField(
        keyboardType: TextInputType.emailAddress,
        controller: filterController,
        );
}

Use In UI

body: Container(
child: getEmailController();
)

Solution 2

You can do it this way: First declared and after initialised inside your didChangeDependencies() method, like this

Declared your variable

List<Tab> tabsList = [];

initialised tabsList

 tabsList = [
    Tab(text: getTranslated(context, "tab_1")),
    Tab(text: getTranslated(context, "tab_2")),
    Tab(text: getTranslated(context, "tab_3"))
 ];

Full codes Example

class _MyClassState extends State<MyClass>
    with TickerProviderStateMixin<MyClass> {

  TabController tabController;
  List<Tab> tabsList = [];

  @override
  void didChangeDependencies() {
    tabsList = [
      Tab(text: getTranslated(context, "tab_1")),
      Tab(text: getTranslated(context, "tab_2")),
      Tab(text: getTranslated(context, "tab_3"))
    ];
    tabController =
        TabController(length: tabsList.length, vsync: this, initialIndex: 0);

    super.didChangeDependencies();
  }
}

Solution 3

I faced the exact same issue, and I was able to tackle the problem by setting the initial value of the TextFormField by adding the value I need to the controller’s text, example:

_carPlateController.text = _initValues['carPlate'];

Or

filterController.text = 'search';

I hope this helps!
