I am not able to make my app scrollble, despite of having SingleChildScrollView in Flutter - flutter

Question

In my app, i have used BlogTile and CategoryTile widgets (which were made by myself) and I am using them in Contaniers/Columns. When I used SingleChildScrollView with CategoryTile, and made axis as horizontal, it was working fine. But as soon as i use it for BlogTile, it doen't work. I am not able to scroll in my app vertically. But when i try to scroll vertically by clicking on the part between CategoryTile and BlogTile, it works. But when i try to scroll by clicking from anyb other section of it, it doesn't work. Please someone help me
Check this code -

List<ArticleModel> articles = new List<ArticleModel>();
bool loading = true;
#override
void initState() {
// TODO: implement initState
super.initState();
categories = getCategories();
getNews();
}
getNews() async {
News newsClass = News();
await newsClass.getNews();
articles = newsClass.news;
setState(() {
loading = false;
print('Done');
});

Answer 1

I think the issue here is that you're giving unbounded height and width to some of the ScrollViews.
First off, don't use multiple scrolling widgets nested inside one another. But if you want to do that, try wrapping each of your scrollview within a Container like this:
SingleChildScrollView(
scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
child: Container(
height: 50.0,
width: 50.0,
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: ...,
),
),
),
What I'd also suggest is that instead of using a SingleChildScrollView, use a ListView widget. It works almost the same and you can put multiple children inside it. A simple ListView() will work. Don't use ListView.builder or any other aggregate function.
