Null check operator used on a null value (fetching profileImage)

February 21, 2022

I can display profile image but every time home_screen dart reloads i get this error.
i tried without null check but then my code doesn’t work.

Error

Null check operator used on a null value

My code in home_screen.dart

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import '../models/user_model.dart';
import 'edit_profile.dart';
import 'splash_screen.dart';

class HomeScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeScreenState createState() => _HomeScreenState();
}

class _HomeScreenState extends State<HomeScreen> {
  User? user = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser;

  UserModel? logginUserModel;

  getUserData() {
    FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection("users")
        .doc(user!.uid)
        .get()
        .then((value) {
      logginUserModel = UserModel.fromMap(value.data());
      setState(() {});
    });
  }

  @override
  initState() {
    super.initState();
    getUserData();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text("Home"),
        actions: [
          IconButton(
              onPressed: () async {
                await FirebaseAuth.instance.signOut();
                Navigator.pushAndRemoveUntil(
                    context,
                    MaterialPageRoute(builder: (ctx) => SplashScreen()),
                    (route) => false);
              },
              icon: const Icon(Icons.logout)),
          IconButton(
              onPressed: () async {
                Navigator.push(context,
                    MaterialPageRoute(builder: (ctx) => EditProfile()));
              },
              icon: const Icon(Icons.edit)),
        ],
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Container(
          height: 125.0,
          width: 125.0,
          decoration: BoxDecoration(
            borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(62.5),
            image: DecorationImage(
              fit: BoxFit.cover,
              image: NetworkImage(
                logginUserModel!.profileImage == null
                    ? "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Profile_avatar_placeholder_large.png"
                    : logginUserModel!.profileImage!,
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
