I am trying out a unity tutorial and the section of getting the prefab components gives me an error of The type arguments for method GameObject.GetComponent<T>() cannot be inferred from usage.



GameObject newAnimal = Instantiate(ListItemPrefab) as GameObject;
ListItemController controller = newAnimal.GetComponent();


The tutorial website is https://www.folio3.com/blog/creating-dynamic-scrollable-lists-with-new-unity-canvas-ui/



I have search for examples but have found nothing.

  • That tutorial is wrong. GetComponent requires a Type parameter

  • I was thinking that but I am unsure what type because there is multiple components of image and text that are children of the prefab

There's nothing really difficult about this. You just have to use:



T componentReference = gameObjectReference.GetComponent<T>();


where T is the type of component you want to get a reference to.
So, in your case, you should use:



ListItemController controller = newAnimal.GetComponent<ListItemController>();


You may want to study a little bit the C# Generics: Microsoft's Introduction to Generics

    You are missing the type parameter for the get component method.



    ListItemController controller = newAnimal.GetComponent<ListItemController>();
