Chapter 6, Flutter type 'List<ShoppingList>' is not a subtype of type 'int'

[imamtarique]

Here is my getList function:

Future<List> getLists() async {
final List<Map<String, dynamic>> maps = await db.query('lists');
// ignore: missing_return
return List.generate(maps.length, (i) {
return ShoppingList(
maps[i]['id'],
maps[i]['name'],
maps[i]['priority'],
);
});
}

I am calling it from here
showData() async {
dynamic bb;
await helper.openDb();
shoppingList = await helper.getLists();

setState(() {
shoppingList=shoppingList;
});
}
}

I am getting the error

type 'List' is not a subtype of type 'int'

Hi @imamtarique ,

How did you declare shoppingList? From the error you mention it seems shoppingList is declared as int, while getLists() returns a Future of type List. So shoppingList should be declared as "List": like

List shoppingList = List();

Hope this helps
