arrays - How to parse json in flutter?

Question

I want to create a news app and I've used newsapi.org as a source.

I am trying to fetch the JSON data coming by the Http library.

I've provided the entire code below.

It doesn't give me any error but no data loaded and when I print the data it prints everything okay but I can't display it.

I don't what is the problem but all my project has stopped on this problem.

I am looking for a solution for this code because it doesn't work.

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart';
import 'package:newly/services/networking.dart';
import 'package:newly/widgets/article.dart';

class NewsScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _NewsScreenState createState() => _NewsScreenState();
}

class _NewsScreenState extends State<NewsScreen> {

  List<Article> articles = [];

  NetworkHelper networkHelper = NetworkHelper(
    url:
        'https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?q=bitcoin&apiKey=392495172bab4b3885ae93760df54b91',
  );

  Future<List<Widget>> getNews() async {
    var newsData = await networkHelper.getData();

    for (int i = 0; i < await newsData['articles'].length; i++) {
      var title = await newsData['articles'][i]['title'];
      var urlToImage = await newsData['articles'][i]['urlToImage'];
      var content = await newsData['articles'][i]['content'];
      var author = await newsData['articles'][i]['author'];
      var url = await newsData['articles'][i]['url'];

      print(title);
      print(urlToImage);
      print(url);
      print(content);
      print(author);
      print('123456789123456789123456789123456789');

      articles.add(
        Article(
          author: author,
          content: content,
          title: title,
          url: url,
          urlToImage: urlToImage,
        ),
      );

      print(articles[0].author);

    }

    return articles;
  }

  Future<List<Article>> showArticles() async {
    var data = await get(
      'https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?q=bitcoin&apiKey=392495172bab4b3885ae93760df54b91',
    );

    var dataDecoded = await json.decode(data.body);

    List<Article> articles = [];

    await dataDecoded.forEach(
      (article) {
        articles.add(
          Article(
            author: article['author'],
            content: article['content'],
            title: article['title'],
            url: article['url'],
            urlToImage: article['urlToImage'],
          ),
        );
      },
    );

    return articles;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        backgroundColor: Colors.black,
        centerTitle: true,
        title: Text(
          'Newly',
          style: TextStyle(
            color: Colors.white,
          ),
        ),
      ),
      body: FutureBuilder(
        future: getNews(),
        builder: (context, snapshot) {
          return ListView(
            children: articles,
          );
        },
      ),

    );
  }
}

Network Helper :

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'dart:convert';

class NetworkHelper {
  NetworkHelper({this.url});

  final String url;

  Future getData() async {
    http.Response response = await http.get(url);

    if (response.statusCode == 200) {
      String data = response.body;

      return json.decode(data);
    } else {
      print('something wrong');
      print(response.statusCode);
    }
  }
}

While working with json data

The good practice is to create a model for that and then just fetch the data through the api

creating a model and a class is easy enough and doesn't take effort and makes your work easy ;)

For creating a model for your project

VISIT https://javiercbk.github.io/json_to_dart/

just copy your json data and paste in the textField and you will get your Model Class ready with just one click

for accessing the data

Test _test = Test.fromJson(response.body);

that's it.
