How to specify ListTile height in Flutter


In this code, I am trying to make a list of buttons or tiles "as buttons do not work well for me " at the very top of the page. Thus, when one is clicked it returns a value in the rest of the page.

The issue is The tile here toke around more than half of the page which makes it looks inconsistent. I want to limit the height of the tile, I have tried putting them in a row and a container and it doesn't work. Any HELP will be appreciated.

the result after running the code is:

this is the error after runing the code : enter image description here

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
 // const HomePage({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  HomePageState createState() {
    return new HomePageState();
  }
}

class HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
List<String> temp=new List();
List<String> temp1=['Nile University', 'Smart Village', 'Zewail'];
Map<String,String> map1={};
@override
void initState() {
    super.initState();
  getplaces(temp);
  getuser(map1,'1jKpg81YCO5PoFOa2wWR');

  }


Future<List> getuser(temp,String place) async{
  List<String> userids=[];
  QuerySnapshot usersubs= await  Firestore.instance.collection('tempSubs').getDocuments();
  QuerySnapshot userid= await  Firestore.instance.collection('users').where('place',isEqualTo: place).getDocuments();
  userid.documents.forEach((DocumentSnapshot doc,){
  usersubs.documents.forEach((DocumentSnapshot doc1){
    if(doc.documentID==doc1.documentID){
      doc1.data['products'].forEach((k,v){
       
       if( DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(v).day==DateTime.now().day){

        int x= DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(v).day;
                print('keey equal $k and v is $x');

        print('dy is $x');
      userids.add(
      doc.documentID);
       }
      });
      
    }
  } ); }  
    );
              print('doc.documentID');
  print (userids);
   setState(() {});
 return userids;
  }


Future<List> getplaces(temp) async{
    QuerySnapshot place= await  Firestore.instance.collection('places').getDocuments();
  place.documents.forEach((DocumentSnapshot doc){
    temp.add(
      doc.data['name']
    );
            //  print(doc.data['name']);

  });
  //  print(temp);
 
   setState(() {});
 return temp;
  }



  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
         title: Text("Home Page"),
        ),
          
  body: !temp.isNotEmpty? 
   CircularProgressIndicator():  
   Row(mainAxisSize:MainAxisSize.max,
   mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,

     children:<Widget>[ 
        Container(
                      height: 100.0,
                      child:
           ListView.builder(
             scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
             itemExtent: 100.0,
             itemCount:temp.length,
             itemBuilder:(BuildContext context, int index) {
                return ListTile(title: Text(temp[index]),onTap:
                (){
                  print(temp[index]);
                }
                 );}
     ),),
     Container(child:Text('data'),)
    ],),
       
        );
          
        }
}

Solution

  • Just remove the Expanded Widget to avoid fill the space available and use a parent Container with a fixed height, the same as the itemExtent value:

        Column(
                      children: <Widget>[
                        Container(
                          height: 100.0,
                          child: ListView.builder(
                              scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
                              itemExtent: 100.0,
                              itemCount: temp.length,
                              itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                                return ListTile(
                                    title: Text(temp[index]),
                                    onTap: () {
                                      print(temp[index]);
                                    });
                              }),
                        ),
                        Container(
                          child: Text('data'),
                        )
                      ],
                    ),
