Introduction to the Problem

Creating custom buttons in Flutter can be an exciting endeavor, especially when you wish to design components that fit your app's aesthetic. However, many developers, particularly beginners, may encounter a frustrating error while implementing such buttons: "The argument type 'Function' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'void Function()?'." This error can hinder the functionality of button interactions within your app, particularly when transitioning between pages.

In this guide, we'll break down what this error means and provide clear solutions to ensure your buttons work seamlessly for user interactions.

Understanding the Error

What is the Error?

The error arises from the variable type we define for button presses in the RoundedButton widget. In Flutter, the onPressed property of a button is expected to accept a specific function type, known as VoidCallback, which is defined as a function that does not take any arguments and does not return any value (void Function()).

Why Does This Error Occur?

Here's a brief explanation of the underlying cause:

When you define the press parameter as a Function, it does not explicitly match the required VoidCallback type expected by onPressed.

Consequently, when you try to pass the press function as an argument, Flutter throws a type mismatch error.

Solution: Fixing the Error

To resolve this issue, you can take one of two effective approaches:

1. Change the Type of press

Modify the type of the press parameter in your RoundedButton class from Function to VoidCallback. Here’s how you can do that:

With this change, the press parameter now matches the expected type for the onPressed property, allowing your button to function correctly.

2. Calling the Function Correctly

Alternatively, if you wish to keep the press type as Function, you can invoke it in a way that complies with the required type by using the .call() method in the onPressed property. Change your button definition like this:

However, using the VoidCallback type is highly recommended for clarity and best practices.

Finalizing the Button Implementation

Once you have implemented one of the above solutions, your RoundedButton should look something like this:

Conclusion

In conclusion, by properly defining your button's function types, you can eliminate the type mismatch error and ensure your custom buttons not only look good but also function as intended. With these changes, your login and sign-up buttons will successfully navigate to their respective pages, enhancing the overall user experience of your Flutter application.
