Hive: The method 'initFlutter' isn't defined for the class 'HiveInterface'

[Rayv1]

Hi,

iam trying to init Hive in Main Function with Hive.initFlutter(); as described in your documents. Unfortunately my VS Code shows "The method 'initFlutter' isn't defined for the class 'HiveInterface'."

Maybe i missed a additional step to make it work.

• Platform: Android, Windows
• Flutter version: 1.14.6
  hive: ^1.4.1
  hive_flutter: ^0.3.0+2
  dev_dependencies:
  hive_generator: ^0.7.0+2
  build_runner: ^1.7.4

Hi @Rayv1 ,
have you tried to import package:hive_flutter/hive_flutter.dart?

[Rayv1]

yep, just forgot to import the second package

[sghaleb1]

i am getting the same issue, I have imported the hive_flutter package.

hive: ^1.4.1+1
hive_flutter: ^0.3.0+2

You need to import both hive and hive_flutter.

Just add import 'package:hive_flutter/hive_flutter.dart';

Little explanation: initFlutter() is extension and Android Studio currently doesn't support importing extensions for Dart, that's why we have to setup import manually
