Well, Dart Editor is right. This code doesn't make any sense. Without further information on what you are trying to do (don't hesitate to update your question), I am assuming you actually mean one of those:
class MyClass<T> {
List<T> listField;
// other stuff
}
Or maybe the list itself should be generic?
void main() {
MyClass<SomeCustomListClass<String>> instance = new MyClass();
}
class MyClass<T extends List<String>> {
T listField;
// ...
}
Or maybe everything has to be generic:
void main() {
MyClass<String, SomeCustomListClass<String>> instance = new MyClass();
}
class MyClass<TElement, TList extends List<TElement>> {
TList listField;
TElement _firstListElement;
// whatever that could be used for
}
