Flutter - NoSuchMethodError: The getter 'focusScopeNode' was called on null

Question

I am having the following error while trying to pass List from one screen to another. The data is being passed from the async function. I need to open the other Screen based on the data fetched from the database. The answer mentioned here didn't work for me. here is the error.

: [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(157)] Unhandled Exception: NoSuchMethodError: The 
getter 'focusScopeNode' was called on null.
E/flutter (26425): Receiver: null    
E/flutter (26425): Tried calling: focusScopeNode
E/flutter (26425): #0      Object.noSuchMethod (dart:core-patch/object_patch.dart:53:5)
E/flutter (26425): #1      Route.didPush.<anonymous closure> (package:flutter/src/widgets/navigator.dart:139:17)    

Code in async function

 Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) {
    return ParentHome(childList);

ParentHome Screen

      class ParentHome extends StatefulWidget {
  List childDataList;

  ParentHome(this.childDataList);

  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
    return ParentHomeWidget();
    }
   }
class ParentHomeWidget extends State<ParentHome> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// TODO: implement build
return MaterialApp(
  home: Scaffold(
    body: Container(
      margin: EdgeInsets.all(5),
      child: ListView.builder(
          itemCount: widget.childDataList.length,
          itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) => ListTile(
                title: Text(widget.childDataList[index]['title']),
              )),
    ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

I am not finding any help regarding this. Please help me figure this out. I am a newbie in Flutter yet. Thanks

You have another Navigator.pop(context); after the switch block. Try removing that one as well or setting a default case if the intention was to navigate back if none of cases match.

switch (userType) {
    case "Student":
      print("Registration # $responseBody");
      break;
    case "Parent":
      List childList = responseBody.split(",");
      //child list needs to be separated by :
      /*Navigator.of(context).push(
          MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ParentHome(childList)));
      */
      Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) {
        return ParentHome(childList);
      }));
      //Navigator.pop(context);

      print("Child List= $responseBody");
      break;
    case "Teacher":
      print("Teacher id= $responseBody");
      break;
  }
  form_key.currentState.reset();
  //dismissing progress dialog
  //Navigator.pop(context);
  Toast.show("Login Successful", context,
      duration: Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, gravity: Toast.CENTER);

or

switch (userType) {
    case "Student":
      print("Registration # $responseBody");
      break;
    case "Parent":
      List childList = responseBody.split(",");
      //child list needs to be separated by :
      /*Navigator.of(context).push(
          MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ParentHome(childList)));
      */
      Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) {
        return ParentHome(childList);
      }));
      //Navigator.pop(context);

      print("Child List= $responseBody");
      break;
    case "Teacher":
      print("Teacher id= $responseBody");
      break;
    default:
      form_key.currentState.reset();
      //dismissing progress dialog
      Navigator.pop(context);
      Toast.show("Login Successful", context,
        duration: Toast.LENGTH_SHORT, gravity: Toast.CENTER);
  }
