Answer 1

First, I think it would be better if you copy paste the code, otherwise people can't reproduce the problem.

Anyway I think the problem is that you're confusing PlatformFile with File (from the dart:io package). The first one has the attribute name, the second doesn't, and you are trying to retrieve that attribute from an element of a List.

If you want the name of the files you should do

List<PlatformFile>? list_result;

if(result != null) {
    List<PlatformFile> files = result.files;
    setState((){
        list_result = files;
    });
}
