I’m working on a Flutter app that retrieves anime data from the Jikan API (https://api.jikan.moe/v4/anime). I’m using CachedNetworkImage to display the anime images, but I’m encountering an error:

Error Message:
Invalid argument(s): No host specified in URI null

Here’s the relevant code snippet:

ListView.builder(
  // ... other builder arguments
  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
    return AnimeDataItme(
      imageUrl: animeData.data![index].images!.jpg!.imageUrl.toString(),
    );
  },
),

// Assuming AnimeDataItme builds the CachedNetworkImage
    return CachedNetworkImage(
      imageUrl: imageUrl,
      fit: BoxFit.fill,
    );

//web services
@RestApi(baseUrl: ApiConstants.apiUrl)
abstract class WebServices {
  factory WebServices(Dio dio, {String baseUrl}) = _WebServices;

  @GET(ApiConstants.apiUrl)
  Future<Anime> getAnimeData();
}

//repo
 Future<Anime> getAnimeData() async {
    try {
      final response = await _webServices.getAnimeData();
      return response;
    } on DioError catch (error) {
      print("Error: ${error.message}");
      throw Exception("Failed to get data information");
    }
  }

I’ve tried the following:

• Added http:// before the image URL.
• Ensured null safety throughout the code using the null-conditional operator (?.).
  However, the error persists and changes to “http://null” with the first attempt.

I’d appreciate any help from the community in identifying the root cause of the null URL and suggesting solutions to fix this error. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any insights into what might be causing the problem?
