Flutter TextField Causing NullPointerException

Question

Any idea why the TextField in Flutter code below is causing the NullPointerException shown?

Code:

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: TextField(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Exception:

Answer 1

You should be using a stateful widget for Textfield and textformfield. probably thats what causing the error.
