The paint method in sliderthumbimage.dart causes an error :

Not sure how to resolve the issue as it prevents the rest of the course from being error free.

Version of Flutter 1.22.1, VSCode1.49.2

Hi @jamiedaniel thank you for the question! Looks like in Flutter 1.22, the SliderComponentShape class that SliderThumbImage extends has some additional parameters in its paint() method.

If you add the two new parameters to the method signature, I think it will fix the error. So the paint() method should look like this in SliderThumbImage:

    @override
    void paint(PaintingContext context, Offset center,
        {Animation<double> activationAnimation,
        Animation<double> enableAnimation,
        bool isDiscrete,
        TextPainter labelPainter,
        RenderBox parentBox,
        SliderThemeData sliderTheme,
        TextDirection textDirection,
        double value,
        double textScaleFactor,
        Size sizeWithOverflow}) { ...

The last two parameters need to be added.

If that does not work, as a backup you could also just skip styling the slider thumb button, and delete the SliderThumbImage file from the project. That would at least let you finish the course.

Thanks again!
