flutter: GridView not showing properly - flutter

Question

i'm trying to create a restaurant menu app in flutter language, and i wanted to view my saved data inside json file as gridView but sadly i'm getting error while running the app.. However, i tried to change the gridView to listView and its showing good..
so is there a way to show them as gridView?
thanks in advance

Firstly I would prefer having data from Future instead of <Widget> and will avoid forEach method to handle complex and bigger computation.
Lets processed with current condition of code-structure. According to your question, main issue is using ListView/GridView.
While SingleChildScrollView is handling the scroll, use GridView.count or ListView
shrinkWrap: true,
physics: NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
About the top level-column
body: SafeArea(
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min, // set min
children: <Widget>[
To check error, define states of FutureBuilder
child: FutureBuilder<List<Widget>>(
initialData: [Text("")],
future: createList(context),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting)
return Text("Loading");
if (snapshot.hasError) {
return Text("Error ${snapshot.error}");
}
if (snapshot.hasData) {
return Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: GridView.count(
childAspectRatio: 1 // items' width/height
crossAxisCount: 3,
shrinkWrap: true,
physics: NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
children: [
...snapshot.data!,
],
),
To load JSON, I've used like String dataString = await rootBundle.loadString("json/data.json");
To handle item size use childAspectRatio.
Assuming you don't have issue with loading images/BannerWidgetArea() widgets.
Does it solve the issue?
