How to dynamically add Children to Scaffold Widget - flutter

Question

Let's say, I have a chat screen that looks like this.
Now, when the user clicks the "Press when ready" button, the method fetchNewQuestion() is called.
My intention is that this will make a HTTP request, and display the result using
_buildUsersReply(httpResponse);
But, the problem is that this return must be made inside the current scaffold's widget as a child under the existing children, so that it is built at the bottom with the previous ones still there. The result would be like this:
You can find my complete code here.
Is this possible to be done pro-grammatically? Or do I have to change the concept of how I do this?
[Update, I now understand that my approach above is wrong and I have to use a listview builder. CurrentStatus below shows my progress towards achieving that goal.]
Current status:
I have built a list of Widgets:
List<Widget> chatScreenWidgets = [];
And on setState, I am updating that with a new Widget using this:
setState(() { chatScreenWidgets.add(_buildUsersReply("I think there were 35 humans and one horse.")); });
Now at this point, I am not sure how to pass the widget inside the scaffold. I have written some code that does not work. For instance, I tried this:

Just for future reference, here is what I really needed to do:
1. Create a list of widgets
List<Widget> chatScreenWidgets = [];
2. Inside my method, I needed to use a setState in order to add elements to that list. Every widget I add to this will be displayed on ths Scaffold.
`setState(() {
chatScreenWidgets.add(_buildUsersReply("Some Text"));
});`
3. And then, load that inside my Scaffold, I used an itemBuilder in order to return a list of widgets to my ListView. I already had that ListView (where I was manually adding children). Now this just returns them through the setState method inside my business logic method (in this case, fetchNewQuestion()).
body: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 0),
child: new ListView.builder(
physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(),
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 25),
itemCount: chatScreenWidgets.length,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int itemCount) {
return chatScreenWidgets[itemCount];
}
),
),
],
),
);`
I hope this helps future flutter engineers!

forget about the scaffold the idea is about what you really want to change, lets say it is
a list and your getting the data from an array if you update the array, then the list will update,if it is another type widgets then you can handle it in a different way i will edit this answer if you clarify what each part does in your widget as i cant read your full code.
first you have to create an object with two attributes one is the type of the row(if it is a user replay or other messages) and the second attribute is the string or the text.
now create a global list in the listview class from the above object, so you get the data from the user or even as a news and you create a new object from the above class and add your data to it and add it to the list.
item builder returns a widget so according to the the widget that you return the row will be set , so according to the data in the object call one of your functions that return the views like _buildUsersReply(string text).
if you have any other question you can ask :) if this what you need please mark it as the answer.
