Understanding and Solving the void Function(MidiDevice) Error in Flutter MIDI Integration

As a Flutter developer, encountering type errors can be a common yet frustrating challenge, especially when integrating with external packages like flutter_midi_command. If you’ve recently started using this package and found yourself stuck with the error message: "The argument type 'void Function(MidiDevice)' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'FutureOr dynamic Function(List MidiDevice ?)'", you’re not alone. Let’s dive into what causes this issue and how to fix it effectively.

What’s the Problem?

The root of the problem lies in the type being assigned in your callback function. The code snippet you've implemented tries to access MIDI devices like this:

The issue arises when you define the type of the returned value in the callback as MidiDevice. According to the error message, the type expected by the .then method is FutureOr<dynamic> Function(List<MidiDevice>?) but you provided a function that returns void Function(MidiDevice).

The Solution

The key takeaway here is that the returned value from the MidiCommand().devices call is not a single MidiDevice, but rather a list of MidiDevice items that could potentially be null. Thus, the correct type for your callback should be List<MidiDevice>?, which can also accommodate the possibility of being null. Here’s how to correctly implement it:

Correct Implementation

Replace your original implementation with the following code:

Explanation of the Changes

Type Update: When you declare your callback parameter as (List<MidiDevice>? midiDevices), you align the expected list type, which resolves the type mismatch.

Handling Null: This structure also allows for the possibility that the list of MIDI devices might be null, preventing further errors.

Conclusion

Understanding how type inference works in Dart is crucial for seamless Flutter development. By identifying and correcting the expected types in your callbacks, you can avoid frustrating errors and ensure your code executes as intended. Now, you can enjoy fetching and displaying available MIDI devices without running into type-related issues.

If you're just starting out with Flutter and MIDI integration, keep practicing, and remember to check the expected types when working with external packages. Happy coding!
