Did you found a solution?
Did you found a solution?
No, But I changed the plugin which is working fine.
I am also facing this error. @amaajid001 which plugin are you using now ?
I'm also having this issue.
It seems that on the first try to open the file it returns null from here:
var data = await _channel .invokeMethod('getPage', {'filePath': _filePath, 'pageNumber': page});
(From document.dart file)
And the interesting thing is that after I reopen my app everything works fine
Edit:
This patch solved this exception for me:
I have noticed that before I reopen the application (which solves the issue) and I try to open the PDF, I'm getting this exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.Resources android.app.Activity.getResources()' on a null object reference
But when I reopen the app and everything works, this exception disappears. So, I have looked for this exception in this repository issues and encountered this fix:
#45
After implementing RasyidMF solution, the PDF opens correctly.
I am also facing this error. @amaajid001 which plugin are you using now ?
I am using syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer this package.

I am using syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer this package.
This syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer works very well, too bad it is not a free package.

But it stated "Disclaimer: This is a commercial package. To use this package, you need to have either a Syncfusion commercial license or Free Syncfusion Community license."
I have never used this kind of package before. Does it mean that we will have to have a license if we want to publish our app the app store?
Any news on this topic or should I use another library?
