Flutter project when run showing Error Invalid argument s The source must not be null

Question

I'm new to flutter. I created a simple flutter project when I trying to run. I was getting this error Unexpected failure from adb: Invalid argument(s): The source must not be null

Error launching the application on emulator-5554 This is my simple flutter application code:

import `package:flutter/material.dart`;
 void main(){
    runApp(
       new Center(
        child: new Text(
          "hello, world",
           textDirection: TextDirection.ltr,
        )
       )
    );
 }

Can anyone suggest me what might be the issue? How should I have to fix it?

Answer 1

The error message you provided seems to indicate that there is an issue with the Android Debug Bridge (adb) that is used to launch the application on the emulator.

Here are some possible solutions you can try:

1. Restart the emulator: Sometimes the emulator can get stuck or become unresponsive, which can cause issues when launching the app. Try restarting the emulator and see if that resolves the issue.

2. Check the emulator connection: Make sure that the emulator is properly connected to the adb server. You can do this by running the command adb devices in the terminal. If the emulator is not listed, try restarting it or creating a new emulator.

3. Check your Flutter environment: Make sure that your Flutter environment is set up correctly and that you have installed all the necessary dependencies. You can run the command flutter doctor to check your environment and see if there are any issues.

4. Try a different emulator: If the issue persists, try launching the app on a different emulator or a physical device to see if the issue is specific to the current emulator.

Regarding the code you provided, it seems to be working fine and should not be causing the issue you are seeing.
