in flutter List<dynamic> is not a subtype of List<String>

Question

I called the AttachmentWidget(snapshot.data) the method inside the column widget, So dynamically get the data from the API. After receiving this data, According to the ext i stored into the path List, for example, that is an image extension, I will store as an image path In this case if I get 5 images, I want to path 5 path lists into the Photogrid imageUrls: imgpathList, For this, I got an error as

error message

List<dynamic>  is not a subtype of List<String>

So, How to convert List as a List or is there any way to do that? Thank you

Code here

Widget AttachmentWidget(List<Attachment> attachmentmodel)

    Set <String> ImageExt = {'jpg','png','jpeg','tiff'};
    Set <String> VideoExt = {'mp4','mpeg4','wmp'};
    Set <String> AudioExt={'mpga'};

    for(int i=0;i<=listsize-1;i++)
      {
        String ext=attachmentmodel[i].ext;
        String path=attachmentmodel[i].path;

        if(ImageExt.contains(ext))
          {
            images=images+1;
            imgpathList.add(path);

Answer 1

I'm using this method to convert List<dynamic> to List<String> This one is working fine for me

List<String> strlist = imgpathList.map((s) => s as String).toList();
List<String> strlist2 = strlist.cast<String>();

Answer 2

This is happening because of you are not providing specific type of list.t.

Try following why to declare list.

List<String> imgpathList = new List();
List<String> videopathList = new List();
List<String> audiopathList = new List();
