Answer 1

You have the following code in your build function:

final formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>(); 

This is the problem. You have to either make it static or move to initState()

Answer 2

I had the same problem and as @apc said just make the key static or intialize it in iniState()...

if you use stateless widget make it static

static final GlobalKey<FormState> _key = GlobalKey<FormState>();
