Get SharedPreferences before widget build

I want to get my userid before the build fires in my statefulwidget.
If I do this, then build will render before I get my id. If I put it in setstate, my build will use the empty string first and then rerenders it again with my id, but this will cause unnecessary behaviours.



So how do I solve this?



String _userid = '';
Future<Null> setUserid() async {
SharedPreferences pref = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

_userid = pref.getString('FB_USER');

}
initState() {
super.initState();
setUserid();
}


Build



// Widget build
new Flexible(
child: new StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
stream: Firestore.instance
.collection('users')
.document(_userid)
.collection('rooms')
.snapshots(),
builder:
(BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshot> snapshot) {
if (!snapshot.hasData) return new Text('Loading...');
return new ListView(
children: snapshot.data.documents
.map(
(DocumentSnapshot document) => new Text('lol'),
// )
//new OverviewPresentation(presentation: document),
)
.toList(),
);
},
),
),

          You can't, but you can guard against it being null.
          Also it's easier to move the StreamBuilder to initState



          String _userid = '';
          dynamic _data;
          Future<Null> setUserid() async {
          SharedPreferences pref = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

          _userid = pref.getString('FB_USER');

          _data = await Firestore.instance
          .collection('users')
          .document(_userid)
          .collection('rooms')
          .snapshots().first;
          setState(() {});
          }
          initState() {
          super.initState();
          setUserid();
          }




            return new Flexible(

          • Doing it this way means, my widget doesn't listen for data being added or modified in firestore right and if my _userid is empty when I use it, firestore will throw an error since my call will be /'users'//'rooms'/

          You can use FutureBuilder



          Future<String> setUserid() async {
          SharedPreferences pref = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

          _userid = pref.getString('FB_USER');
          return _userid;
          }

          @override
          Widget build(BuildContext context) {
          return FutureBuilder(
          future: setUserid(),
          builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<String> snapshot) {
          if (snapshot.hasData) {
          return ... // your widget
          } else return CircularProgressIndicator();
          });
