Scaffold not found error in Flutter for BottomModalSheet widget even when it is defined inside a Scaffold

Question

I was trying to implement a BottomModalSheet for a test App. But every time the same error pops up saying that Scaffold not found. The code for the app is below. The error shows the Scaffold is implemented by the MaterialApp Widget, So I removed the MaterialApp Widget and tried but the same error popped up again.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // TODO: implement build
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Hello,World"),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Container(
          height: 300,
          width: 400,
          child: Column(
            children: <Widget>[
              //Container(color: Colors.blue, child: Text("Hello,World")),
              Container(
                height:200,
                width:500,
                child: FlatButton(
                  onPressed: (){
                    print("I Was clicked");
                    var sheetController = showBottomSheet(
                        context: context,
                        builder: (context) => BottomSheetWidget());
                    sheetController.closed.then((value) {
                    });
                  },
                  child: Container(
                    color: Colors.red,
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}


class BottomSheetWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  const BottomSheetWidget({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _BottomSheetWidgetState createState() => _BottomSheetWidgetState();
}

class _BottomSheetWidgetState extends State<BottomSheetWidget> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      margin: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 5, left: 15, right: 15),
      height: 160,
      child: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
        mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
        children: <Widget>[
          Container(
            height: 125,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(
                color: Colors.white,
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15),
                boxShadow: [
                  BoxShadow(
                      blurRadius: 10, color: Colors.grey[300], spreadRadius: 5)
                ]),
            child: Column(
              children: <Widget>[
                Container(
                  height:200,
                  width: 500,
                  child:Text("This is bottom Sheet")
                ),
              ],
            ),
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

The Error log is as follows:

MyHomePage widgets require a Scaffold widget ancestor.

You can copy paste run full code below
You can use var scaffoldKey.currentState.showBottomSheet

code snippet

final GlobalKey<ScaffoldState> scaffoldKey = GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();

return Scaffold(
  key: scaffoldKey,

 ...

 onPressed: () {
                print("I Was clicked");
                var sheetController = scaffoldKey.currentState
                    .showBottomSheet((context) => BottomSheetWidget());
                sheetController.closed.then((value) {
                  print("closed");
                });
              },

You can use "showModalBottomSheet".

var sheetController = showModalBottomSheet(
    context: context,
    builder: (context) => BottomSheetWidget());
sheetController.then((value) {});

As stated here Use Builder widget instead of Keys. So here is the code:

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("Hello,World"),
        ),
        body: Builder( // Wrap widget tree with Builder widget
          builder: (context) {
          return Center(
            child: Container(
              height: 300,
              width: 400,
              child: Column(
                children: <Widget>[
                  Container(
                    height: 200,
                    width: 500,
                    child: FlatButton(
                      onPressed: () {
                        print("I Was clicked");
                        var sheetController = showBottomSheet(
                            context: context,
                            builder: (context) => BottomSheetWidget());
                        sheetController.closed.then((value) {});
                      },
                      child: Container(
                        color: Colors.red,
                      ),
                    ),
                  ),
                ],
              ),
            ),
          );
        }));
  }
}```
