error in importing Http/http.dart package

Question

I updated the dependencies with proper indentation, then flutter pub get and then import it in the code. Tried to restart my ide as well. The error pops up when i try to build the application.

Error:

Unable to find modules for some sources, this is usually the result of either a bad import, a missing dependency in a package (or possibly a dev_dependency needs to move to a real dependency), or a build failure (if importing a generated file).

Please check the following imports:

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http; from myapp|lib/myapp.dart at 83:1

Code:

    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
    import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
    import 'dart:convert';
    import 'dart:async';

     void main(){
       runApp(MaterialApp(
         home: HomePage(),
       ));
     }

     class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {

       @override
       _HomePageState createState() => _HomePageState();
     }

     class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {


       Future getData() async{
         http.Response response = await http.get("http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees");
         debugPrint(response.body);
       }

       @override
      void initState() {
        super.initState();
        getData();
      }

       @override
       Widget build(BuildContext context) {
         return Scaffold(
           appBar: AppBar(
             title: Text("Employees"),
             backgroundColor: Colors.green,
           ),
         );
       }
     }

      # To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,

      # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
      # example:
      fonts:

Have you tried restarting your IDE?

https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/using-packages

Stop and restart the app, if necessary If the package brings platform-specific code (Java/Kotlin for Android, Swift/Objective-C for iOS), that code must be built into your app. Hot reload and hot restart only update the Dart code, so a full restart of the app might be required to avoid errors like MissingPluginException when using the package.
