Error displaying List view below container - flutter

Question

I am trying to display Listview using Listview builder below the purple color(as seen in the image)container with the below code:
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
height: 300,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.deepPurple,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(bottomLeft: Radius.circular(75.0)),
),
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0, 10, 200, 0),
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0, 30,200,0),
child: IconButton(icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back,),
color: Colors.black,
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
},
),
),
),
SizedBox(height: 20,),
Text('Semester 1',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white,
fontSize: 30),
)
],
)
),
Container(
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: 1,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return new Container(
child: new Center(
child: new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
new Card(
child: new Container(
child: new Text("hello"),
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
))
],
)));
}),
)
],
),
);
It returns a blank screen after running the code,without showing any error. I am not able to figure out the problem.
Please help!

Answer 1

If you use listview is small and inside Column then you should add
shrinkWrap: true in ListView
Column(
children: <Widget>[
ListView(
shrinkWrap: true, // use it
)
],
)
Or If your ListView Height is fix then use
Column(
children: <Widget>[
SizedBox(
height: 200, // constrain height
child: ListView(),
)
],
)
or If you want to fill all remaining space the use
Column(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: ListView(...),
)
],
)

Answer 2

Simply wrap the ListView in Expanded. The error here is that ListView doesn't know how to size itself (it has unbounded height from the Column). Using Expanded will tell it to fill up all the remaining space and fix the sizing problem
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
height: 300,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.deepPurple,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(bottomLeft: Radius.circular(75.0)),
),
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0, 10, 200, 0),
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0, 30,200,0),
child: IconButton(icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back,),
color: Colors.black,
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
},
),
),
),
SizedBox(height: 20,),
Text('Semester 1',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white,
fontSize: 30),
)
],
)
),
Container(
child: Expanded( // <-- wrap with expanded
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: 1,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return new Container(
child: new Center(
child: new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
new Card(
child: new Container(
child: new Text("hello"),
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
))
],
)));
}),
),
)
],
),
);

Error is caused by Container that is wrapping ListView. You need to specify bounds for that Container.
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
height: 300,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.deepPurple,
borderRadius:
BorderRadius.only(bottomLeft: Radius.circular(75.0)),
),
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0, 10, 200, 0),
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0, 30, 200, 0),
child: IconButton(
icon: Icon(
Icons.arrow_back,
),
color: Colors.black,
onPressed: () {
Navigator.pop(context);
},
),
),
),
SizedBox(
height: 20,
),
Text(
'Semester 1',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 30),
)
],
),
),
Container(
height: 300,
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: 1,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
return Container(
child: Center(
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
Card(
child: Container(
child: Text("hello"),
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
))
],
)));
}),
)
],
),
Above code should be working. Please note that, you don't need to specify "new" keyword in flutter.
