As stated in the above answers  it s always a good practice to initialize the variables  but if you have something which you don t know what value should it takes  and you want to leave it uninitialized so you have to make sure that you are updating it before using it  For example  Assume we have double  bmi  and you don t know what value should it takes  so you can leave it as it is  but before using it  you have to update its value first like calling a function that calculating BMI like follows  String calculateBMI      bmi   weight   pow  height 100  2   return  bmi toStringAsFixed 1     or whatever  what I mean is  you can leave the variable as it is  but before using it make sure you have initialized it using whatever the method you are using

You should declare your method first in void initState    so when the first time pages has been loaded  it will init your method first  hope it can help

The reason for this error occurs is that you are using the CryptoListPresenter  presenter without initializing  I found that CryptoListPresenter  presenter would have to be initialized to fix because  presenter loadCurrencies   is passing through a null variable at the time of instantiation  there are two ways to initialize  Can be initialized during an declaration  like this CryptoListPresenter  presenter   CryptoListPresenter      In the second  initializing with assigning some value  it when initState is called  which the framework will call this method once for each state object   override void initState        presenter   CryptoListPresenter

Because of your initialization wrong    Don t do like this   MethodName  methodName   Do like this   MethodName  methodName   MethodName

You have a CryptoListPresenter  presenter but you are never initializing it  You should either be doing that when you declare it or in your initState    or another appropriate but called-before-you-need-it method    One thing I find that helps is that if I know a member is functionally  final   to actually set it to final as that way the analyzer complains that it hasn t been initialized   EDIT    I see diegoveloper beat me to answering this  and that the OP asked a follow up    Jake - it s hard for us to tell without knowing exactly what CryptoListPresenter is  but depending on what exactly CryptoListPresenter actually is  generally you d do final CryptoListPresenter  presenter   new CryptoListPresenter        or   CryptoListPresenter  presenter    override void initState        presenter   new CryptoListPresenter
