Flutter http Error type '_InternalLinkedHashMap<dynamic, dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'Map<String, String>'

Question

I created simple post request using flutter http package. But i'm getting below error when sending the request.

E/flutter ( 9479): [ERROR:flutter/shell/common/shell.cc(181)] Dart Error: Unhandled exception:
E/flutter ( 9479): type '_InternalLinkedHashMap<dynamic, dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'Map<String, String>'

E/flutter ( 9479): #16     _dispatchPointerDataPacket (dart:ui/hooks.dart:107:5)

below is the function that I used to send post request.

static Future<LoginData> sendLoginRequest(
      String email, String password) async {
    var headers = {'Accept': 'application/json'};
    var body = {
      'email': email,
      'password': password,
    };
    http.Response response = await http.post(
      "https://fitness-lanka-laravel.herokuapp.com/api/user/login",
      headers: headers,
      body: body,
    );
    return LoginData.fromResponse(response);
  }

I upgraded flutter to v0.9.4 from v0.8.2. It worked perfectly before upgrading flutter to the latest version.

Thank you. It's working now. :) Can you clarify the answer little bit?? — UdaraWanasinghe
– UdaraWanasinghe, Commented Oct 18, 2018 at 18:27
so basically the body params expect a String converted from json, you can vote up the answer if you want :) — diegoveloper

Following code worked for me :)

  static Future<LoginData> sendLoginRequest(
      String email, String password) async {
    // Encode the string [uri] using percent-encoding to make it
    // safe for literal use as a full URI.
    String url = Uri.encodeFull('https://fitness-lanka-laravel.herokuapp.com/api/user/login');

    // headers should be a subtype of Map<String, String>
    Map<String, String> headers = {
      "Accept": "application/json",
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    };

    // convert body to a JSON string
    String body = json.encode(
      {
        'email': email,
        'password': password,
      },
    );

    // now it's safe to send the request
    http.Response response = await http.post(
      url,
      body: body,
      headers: headers,
    );
    return LoginData.fromResponse(response);
  }

In case anybody facing error at json.encode(body)

Please add an import as : import 'dart:convert';

In case json.encode() not working, you can use jsonEncode() instead.
