The argument type 'Uint8List' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'File'

[The argument type 'Uint8List' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'File'.dartargument_type_not_assignable Uint8List? bytes Type: Uint8List?]

Reference image - (https://i.stack.imgur.com/iSbTP.png)

My Code:

IconButton( onPressed: () async { Uint8List? bytes = await screenshotController.capture(); imageProvider.changeImage(bytes!); if (!mounted) return; Navigator.of(context).pop();

TypeScript

    },
    icon: const Icon(Icons.done),

)

Can someone suggest how to solve this error please? I am a beginner

I tried to pass bytes as parameter with null check, but this isn't working

I was coding after which this yt video. It seems to be working for him (Time stamp - 52:25), but not for me

TL;DR

The error is related to assigning a Uint8List to a parameter that expects a File. The problem seems to be with the capture() method. One possible solution is to convert the Uint8List to a File object before passing it as a parameter. You can do this by using the path_provider package to get the temporary directory and then creating a new File using the Uint8List and the temporary directory. Here's an example of how you can solve the error: ```dart import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart'; ... IconButton( onPressed: () async { Uint8List? bytes = await screenshotController.capture();
