Flutter - Google maps crash on resize

Question

In my use case, I need to make sure that my map can resize dynamically without crashing, you may suggest using resizeToAvoidBottomPadding, but my problem is beyond that, for example, my app crashes if I'm using facebook messanger chat head and open it's keyboard (which made the app resize forcing the map to resize hence the crash)

the following code is inside a sub-route (inside a route containing a bottom tab bar, so the following code is inside one of the bar's buttons)

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Stack(
      children: <Widget>[
        GoogleMap(
          onMapCreated: _onMapCreated,
          mapType: MapType.normal,
          initialCameraPosition: CameraPosition(
            target: LatLng(30, 40),
            zoom: 11,
          ),
          onCameraMove: (pos) {
            setState(() {
              // do something
            });
          },
          onCameraIdle: () {
            setState(() {
              // do something
            });
          },
        ),
        TextField(),
      ],
    );
  }

Edit: this is the error message I get in the console:

thanks for the help.

Answer 1

This is a bug related to changes in Gradle 3.5.0. It's currently fixed in the Flutter master channel.

If you want to work around it now, add android.enableDexingArtifactTransform=false to your gradle.properties file to disable the new Gradle changes.

1. Wrap your Stack with Expanded widget
2. Wrap Expanded Widget with Column

You are done...
