flutter listview builder inside a listview builder - flutter

Question

I don't have much experience with flutter.
I would like to use the language_tool library (https://pub.dev/packages/language_tool) for Dart and Flutter.
To show the data obtained from the tool() function, I created a FutureBuilder with a ListView.builder inside, which returns a Column.
I would like there to be 2 children inside the column:
1- a Text with mistake.issueDescription as text (for each "mistake")
2- another ListView that returns the elements of the List mistake.replacements for each "mistake"
Anyone know how I can fix it?
Below I put the code I created, which works fine until I put the Listview builder inside the first ListView builder.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:language_tool/language_tool.dart';
void main() => runApp(mainApp());
class mainApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return const MaterialApp(
home: Chat(),
);
}
}
class Chat extends StatefulWidget {
const Chat({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
_ChatState createState() => _ChatState();
}
class _ChatState extends State<Chat> {
String text = 'Henlo i am Gabriele';
Future<List<WritingMistake>> tool(String text) async {
var tool = LanguageTool();
var result = tool.check(text);
var correction = await result;
List<WritingMistake> mistakes = [];
for (var m in correction) {
WritingMistake mistake = WritingMistake(
message: m.message,
offset: m.offset,
length: m.length,
issueType: m.issueType,
issueDescription: m.issueDescription,
replacements: m.replacements,
);
mistakes.add(mistake);
}
print(mistakes.length);
print(mistakes);
return mistakes;
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: SafeArea(
child: Column(
children: [
Container(
color: Colors.red,
height: 150.0,
width: double.infinity,
child: Center(
child: Text(text, style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0))),
),
FutureBuilder(
future: tool(text),
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
if (snapshot.data == null) {
return const Center(
child: Text('Loading...'),
);
} else {
return SizedBox(
height: 200.0,
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: snapshot.data.length,
itemBuilder:
(BuildContext context, int mistakeIdIndex) {
return Column(
children: [
Text(snapshot
.data[mistakeIdIndex].issueDescription),
// this is where the problems begin
ListView.builder(
itemCount: snapshot.data[mistakeIdIndex]
.replacements.length,
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
itemBuilder:
(BuildContext context, int index) {
return Text(snapshot.data[mistakeIdIndex]
.replacements[index]);
}),
],
);
}),
);
}
}),
],
),
),
);
}
}
I hope I was clear and that someone can help me.
Thank you :)

You cannot give a listview-builder as a child for a column try changing the Column widget to a ListView and set its shrinkWrap property to true.
ListView(
children: [
Container(
color: Colors.red,
height: 150.0,
width: double.infinity,
child: Center(
child: Text(text, style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0))),
),
FutureBuilder(
future: tool(text),
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
if (snapshot.data == null) {
return const Center(
child: Text('Loading...'),
);
} else {
return SizedBox(
height: 200.0,
child: ListView.builder(
shrinkWrap:true,
itemCount: snapshot.data.length,
itemBuilder:
(BuildContext context, int mistakeIdIndex) {
return ListView(
shrinkWrap:true,
children: [
Text(snapshot
.data[mistakeIdIndex].issueDescription),
// this is where the problems begin
ListView.builder(
shrinkWrap:true,
itemCount: snapshot.data[mistakeIdIndex]
.replacements.length,
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
itemBuilder:
(BuildContext context, int index) {
return Text(snapshot.data[mistakeIdIndex]
.replacements[index]);
}),
],
);
}),
);
}
}),
],
),
),
