The method 'toDate' was called on null. Receiver: null Tried calling: toDate()

Question

Container(
                  padding:
                      const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10, vertical: 3),
                  alignment: Alignment.bottomRight,
                  child: Text(
                    DateFormat('hh:mm a').format(map['time'].toDate()) ,
                    style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 12),))

I'm showing the message date from firebase, when i send message to some one in the chat screen a red colored error displays first after the date is showing, how i can avoid this?

I guess your map is async, and you are not waiting for it. put an async where you are fetching the data.
