Flutter can't read from Clipboard

I come asking for quite a specific question regarding Flutter and the Future and await mechanism, which seems to be working, but my Clipboard does not really function while operating with my editable text fields, even following Google's advice on implementation...



This is my code for pasting:



onPressed: () async {
await getMyData('text');
_encodingController.text = clipData;
Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(
new SnackBar(
content: new Text(
"Pasted from Clipboard"),
),
);
},


what doesnt work is my paste functionality... While debugging the result of this following function is null, wth?????????



static Future<ClipboardData> getMyData(String format) async {
final Map<String, dynamic> result =
await SystemChannels.platform.invokeMethod(
'Clipboard.getData',
format,
);

if (result == null) {
return null;
} else {
clipData = ClipboardData(text: result['text']).text;
return ClipboardData(text: result['text'].text);
}
}


I am probably using the Futures and async await wrong, would love some guidance!!! Copying is working using the Clipboard Manager plugin! Thanks very much!
