Flutter Listview Scrollable Row

Question

ListView(
  children: [
    new SizedBox(
      height: 100.0,
      child: ListView(
        scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
        children: <Widget>[
          new Text("hi"),
          new Text("hi"),
          new Text("hi"),
        ],
      ),
    ),
  ],
)
    

I used the Sized Box and seems still got the error.

This is my widget tree: SingleChildScrollView -> Column -> children

Solution 1

Try this code,

You can implement scrollable row in flutter using below code

and for scrollable column just change Column with Row

SingleChildScrollView(
  scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
  child: Row(
   children: <Widget>[
     Text('hi'),
     Text('hi'),
     Text('hi'),
   ]
  )
)

Edit : The keyword new is optional in Dart 2

see the output here

Solution 2

You can use Expanded widget to wrap your listView. Expanded widget tells the screen to allow as much as space the widget wants to take.

Or you can also write shrinkWrap:true in your ListView widget (works in a lot of cases).

Solution 3

A horizontal ListView will expand vertically to occupy the height of its parent. It happens to be that in this case the parent is a vertical ListView, which has infinite height. You need to constrain the height of your inner ListView.

Probably the simplest way to do that is through a SizedBox widget.

ListView(
  children: [
    SizedBox(
      height: 300.0,
      child: ListView(scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal, ...),
    ),
  ],
)

EDIT:

The problem is actually caused by the vertical ListView, because it is the child of a Column. The reason is similar as above, a ListView will expand to be the height of its parent and a Column has unbounded height.

This snippet displays the symptom.

Column(
  children: <Widget>[
    ListView(children: [Text("hi"), Text("hi"), Text("hi")]),
  ],
)

The solution in this case depends on your setup. You could wrap it around a SizedBox again. You could make the column items part of your ListView. Or you could also change the ListView for a Column.

Solution 4

try to set the following properties of your ListView

shrinkWrap: true,
physics: ClampingScrollPhysics(), 

for me, most of the Unbound constraints and scrolling errors were solved.

Solution 5

Wrap the 'ListView' with an 'Expanded' widget.

new Expanded (
    child: new ListView (
                      .....
    )
)

Is this your full build function? The snippet you provided works without error on my machine.

[Niccolo]

let me show the full build

[Pushan Gupta]

for every listview, shrinkWrap: true

[Paresh Mangukiya]

must be see : stackoverflow.com/a/63955956/10563627

[Edman]

Can you update the question with the error and where it happens in your code? I just tried the snippet above and SizedBox solved the issue in my machine.

[Edman]

Actually, I ran the code you posted in the question and it also works in my machine. Because you're wrapping the ListView in a Container with fixed height, it acts like a SizedBox.

[Niccolo]

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