Widg

You can't show a dialog when build working. When you have new data, then you create a new widget. Probably better for you will be not using the stream in this case, but if it necessary you should use

WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) => yourFunction(context));

or

Future.microtask(() => showDialogFunction(context));

in your if

if (snapshot.hasData) { WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) => showDialogFunction(context)); }

This code will be launched after build method, so dialog will show immediately.

Bloc function always return widget, so always return button() or different wiget when stream has data
