The getter 'bodyText2' isn't defined for the class 'TextTheme' in flutter

Question

When I import flutter_linkify/flutter_linkify.dart package in my flutter project, I got this error in my console:

Launching lib\main.dart on CRO U00 in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...

I am getting this kind of error when I import any package in my flutter project. I recently updated my Android studio and plugins.

Answer 1

The textTheme.bodyText2 is available in newer version of flutter (You're using 1.12.13+hotfix.9 which is an older version).

You have two options:

1. Use an older version of the plugin which in your case is flutter_linkify 3.1.2.

2. Upgrade flutter to a newer version
