Lost connection to device. Exited (sigterm) - Flutter Crash

Question

My Flutter app is crashing on loading

It operates a FutureBuilder and I believe this to be where the issue comes from.

My app makes an API Call and returns the data to a map marker.

When i have the FutureBuilder return a list view it works fine.

However, when i change it to return a Stack containing my Map SDK and the buttons to call the API it crashes on start up.

Relevant code is below, thank you!

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget { 

  @override
  _HomePageState createState() => _HomePageState();
}
 

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  Future<Stations> stations;
  BuildContext _context;
  MapMarkerExample _mapMarkerExample; 
  


  @override
  void initState() {
   stations = API_Call().fetchStations(); 
   super.initState();
  }
  


  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
         appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Example 1'),
        ),
        
      body: Container(
 
        child: FutureBuilder<Stations>(
          future: stations,
       
            builder: (context, snapshot) {
     
        if (snapshot.hasError) {
          return Text("Error");
        }
  
        if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done) {
          return 
          
          Stack(
          children: [
            HereMap(onMapCreated: _onMapCreated),
          

            Column(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,

                  children: [
                    button('Stations Near Me', _anchoredMapMarkersButtonClicked),
                    button('Clear', _clearButtonClicked),
                  ],

In api_manager.dart, this looks very suspicous, and you aren't returning anything from this function, it could also explain the error saying future not complete

 Future<Stations> fetchStations() async {
   stations = await API_Call().fetchStations(); 
   
       for (Station stations in stations) {
           GeoCoordinates geoCoordinates = GeoCoordinates (stations.place.location.lat, stations.place.location.lng);
           // use the coords .. to add a marker
           _addPOIMapMarker(geoCoordinates, 1);
           }   

          // GeoCoordinates geoCoordinates = stations.coordinates;
          // _addPOIMapMarker(geoCoordinates, 1);
 
    }
 }

You have to return a Stations object from it, try after your for loop something like return stations;, it could fix your problem, if the error changes, it's also a good start.

Also change your line in future builder to this:

if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done && snapshot.hasData) 

And for the meantime, remove this _setTapGestureHandler(). The crash is most likely caused by some memory leak, and from the code posted, it could be explained by listeners.
