Multiple select options in flutter

Question

I want to create a choice chip list of options and select multiple choices in that. I also want to change the colour when the options are selected. the options are dynamic. I tried using the below function but the onselectionchanged displays null error and the color doesn't change when tapped. Any suggestions please??

_buildChoiceList() {
    List<Widget> choices = [];
    options.forEach((item) {
      choices.add(Container(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(2.0),
        child: ChoiceChip(
          label: Text(item),
          selected: selectedOptions.contains(item),
          backgroundColor: Color(0xffff08222),
          onSelected: (selected) {
            setState(() {
              selectedOptions.contains(item)
                  ? selectedOptions.remove(item)
                  : selectedOptions.add(item);
              widget.onSelectionChanged(selectedOptions);
            });
          },
        ),
      ));
    });
    return choices;
  }

    searchable: true,
    listType: MultiSelectListType.CHIP,
