How to implemented Nested ListView.builder in Flutter?


I have already gone through this post

for nested scrolling but it is not the correct way according to me as explained in this video from the official flutter channel

I want to achieve the below layout

enter image description here

The list header like Claim requested credentials,Claim received credentials,Pending Requests etc are dynamic and will be coming from backend. Also each item in those list header like Module 1: Designing Financial Services are also dynamic

So I need list within a list

I am using a CustomScroll but I am not able to achieve the inner list view

I am looking for a lazy list option and not just mapping the inner list over a column or a list as the inner list might contain 100 items

Here is what I have achieved

enter image description here

Here is the sample code

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Stack(
        children: [
          HeaderGradient(),
          Positioned(
            top: 110,
            left: 0,
            right: 0,
            bottom: 0,
            child: Container(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
              decoration: const BoxDecoration(
                color: grayColor,
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
                  topLeft: Radius.circular(20),
                  topRight: Radius.circular(20),
                ),
              ),
              child: CustomScrollView(
                slivers: [
                  const SliverToBoxAdapter(
                    child: ManageCredentialHeader(),
                  ),
                  SliverList(
                      delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate((context, index) {
                    return ManageCredentialCard();
                  }, childCount: 10))
                ],
              ),
            ),
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

and

class ManageCredentialCard extends StatelessWidget {
  const ManageCredentialCard({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Card(
      color: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.background,
      child: Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8, vertical: 4),
        child: Column(
          children: [
            const ManageCredentialCardHeader(),

            const ManageCredentialCardItem()
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

ManageCredentialCardItem is the inner list

As soon as I wrap ManageCredentialCardItem inside a ListView.builder I get error saying

RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are
unbounded.
When a column is in a parent that does not provide a finite height constraint,
for example if it is
in a vertical scrollable, it will try to shrink-wrap its children along the
vertical axis. Setting a
flex on a child (e.g. using Expanded) indicates that the child is to expand to
fill the remaining
space in the vertical direction.

Solution

  • I was referring generating everything on sliver like

    child: CustomScrollView(
      slivers: [
        const SliverToBoxAdapter(
          child: ManageCredentialHeader(),
        ),
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
          SliverPadding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(
                horizontal: 8, vertical: 4),
            sliver: SliverList(
              delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate(
                  childCount: 10 + 1, //extend by 1 for header
                  (context, index) {
                return index == 0
                    ? const ManageCredentialCardHeader()
                    : const ManageCredentialCardItem();
              }),
            ),
          )
      ],
    ),
    

    Also you can create custom-sliver for children.
