The getter 'text' was called on null

I am trying to get a user password from a pop up alertDialog. User type their password onto the textfield which has passController as a TextEditingController and the text is collected by calling passController.text, but and error occurred.

  void showDialog1(String msg, String jsonString) {

    TextEditingController passController;

    // flutter defined function
    showDialog(
      context: context,
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        // return object of type Dialog
        return AlertDialog(
          title: new Text("Please Enter Password"),
          content: TextField(
              decoration: const InputDecoration(
                labelText: 'Password *',
              ),
              obscureText: true,
              controller: passController),
          actions: <Widget>[
            // usually buttons at the bottom of the dialog
            new FlatButton(
              child: new Text("OK"),
              onPressed: () {
                Navigator.of(context).pop();
                submit(jsonString, passController.text);
              },
            ),
          ],
        );
      },
    );
  }

This is the responded debug console.

Since you are only creating the variable, it will always be null. Try this instead:

TextEditingController passController = new TextEditingController();
