Error:
There should be exactly one item with [DropdownButton]'s value: Argentina.
Either zero or 2 or more [DropdownMenuItem]s were detected with the same value

dropdown.dart:1
Failed assertion: line 1578 pos 15: 'items == null || items.isEmpty || value == null ||

Solution:
The error you’re encountering suggests that there’s an issue with the DropdownButton
and its selected value. It seems that there might be duplicate values in the list of items for the DropdownButton
.
Here are steps to resolve the issue:
Step 1. Check colleges
List: Ensure that the colleges
list does not contain duplicate values.
List colleges = [];
Step 2: Initialize _dropdownvaluecolleges
in initState
: In the initState
method, ensure that _dropdownvaluecolleges
is initialized with a valid value and that it exists in the colleges
list.
_dropdownvaluecolleges = colleges.contains(widget.profileEditData['college'])
? widget.profileEditData['college']
: "Select college"; // Set a default value if necessary
Step 3: Print Statements for Debugging: Add print statements to debug and print the values of colleges
, _dropdownvaluecolleges
, and widget.profileEditData['college']
:
print("Colleges: $colleges");
print("Selected college: $_dropdownvaluecolleges");
print("Profile college: ${widget.profileEditData['college']}");
Examine the output in the console for any unexpected values.
Step 4: Check for Duplicate Items in Dropdown: Ensure that when creating the DropdownButton
, the list of items does not contain duplicates.
Verify that each item in colleges
has a unique name.
Step 5: Update _dropdownvaluecolleges
on Dropdown Change: If the dropdown allows users to change the selection, make sure to update the _dropdownvaluecolleges
variable when the dropdown value changes.
Once these steps have been followed and any necessary adjustments have been made, the problem ought to be fixed. Please provide the pertinent sections of your code, particularly the definition and initialisation of the dropdown, if the issue continues.
