I want to show dialogue and Toast message without context as I am calling those from a method that has no context access. I found get library is appropriate. It mentioned that "you can open dialog from anywhere in your code without context", but when I put any simple code from example in my app code, I get errors. Here is my test code:
import 'package:get/get.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
const oneSec = const Duration(milliseconds: 250);
new Timer.periodic(oneSec, (Timer t) => check());
}
void check() {
if (result == PI) { //global variables
//showDialogue();
//Get.snackbar('Hi', 'i am a modern snackbar');//error
Get.dialog(SimpleDialog());//error
}
}
void showDialogue(){
}
error:

FlutterToast library code runs fine here. But I'm always getting somekind of error with Get library code. Even if this Get code executed from onTapp function of a button built as widget. I do not want to use GetMaterialAPP() but will it fix these errors? How can I solve this problem and show simple dialogue or toast?
