The argument type 'Stream<dynamic>' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'Stream<QuerySnapshot<Object?>>?'

Question

I am a beginner at Flutter and creating a real-time chat app.

The error has occurred stream: usersStream,line which says "The argument type 'Stream<dynamic>' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'Stream<QuerySnapshot<Object?>>?'."

Widget searchUsersList() {
    return StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
      stream: usersStream,
      builder: (context, snapshot) {
        return snapshot.hasData
            ? ListView.builder(
                shrinkWrap: true,
                itemCount: snapshot.data!.docs.length,
                itemBuilder: (context, index) {
                  DocumentSnapshot ds = snapshot.data!.docs[index];
                  return Image.network(ds["imgUrl"]);
                },
              )
            : Center(
                child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
              );
      },
    );
  }

        .where("username", isEqualTo: username)
        .snapshots();
  }
}

=====What I tried======

・delete <QuerySnapshot> from Widget

Then another error has occurred...

The getter 'docs' isn't defined for the type 'Object'.

on itemCount: snapshot.data!.docs.length,anditemBuilder: (context, index) { DocumentSnapshot ds = snapshot.data!.docs[index]; return Image.network(ds["imgUrl"]); },

As I researched it is a firebase issue also, but I am not sure which is better to solve.

Answer 1

Please add DatabaseMethods().getUserByUserName() Codes and details in The question.

You should pass snapshots to stream builder, check below sample :

  Stream<QuerySnapshot> getUsersStream() {
    return firestore.collection('user').snapshots();
  }

So if you do not return a snapshots in the DatabaseMethods().getUserByUserName() method, you can use usersStream.snapshots() instead of userStream.
