Getter isn't defined for a class error (Flutter)

Question

I have this error

lib/menu.dart:230:24: Error: The getter '_context' isn't defined for the class 'DetailedSetting'.

DetailedSetting is from package:my_doctor/menu.dart('lib/menu.dart'). Try correcting the name to the name of an existing getter, or defining a getter or field named '_context'. MyDoctor.setLocale(_context, _temp);

with the code which is:

     class MyDoctor extends StatefulWidget {
      static void setLocale(BuildContext _context,Locale locale){
     _MyDoctorState state = _context.findAncestorStateOfType<_MyDoctorState>();
     state.setLocale(locale);
    }
     @override
    _MyDoctorState createState() => _MyDoctorState();
   }

    class _MyDoctorState extends State<MyDoctor> {
     Locale _locale;
     void setLocale(Locale locale){
      setState(() {
      _locale = locale;
     });
    }

    class DetailedSetting extends StatelessWidget {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
     return Scaffold(
      backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      appBar: AppBar(

Add a BuildContext param to _changeLanguage method and pass this to the MyDoctor.setLocale as argument:

void _changeLanguage(Language language, BuildContext context) {
    Locale _temp;
    switch (language.languageCode) {
      case "en":
        _temp = Locale(language.languageCode, 'US');
        break;
      case "ar":
        _temp = Locale(language.languageCode, 'EG');
        break;
      default:
        _temp = Locale('en', 'ar');
     }
     MyDoctor.setLocale(context, _temp);
}

Then, on your onChanged callback, pass the current context

onChanged: (Language lang) {
  _changeLanguage(lang, context);
},
