Flutter listview fill remaining space

Flutter ListView Fill Remaining Space

In Flutter, you can use the ListView widget to display a scrollable list of items. By default, the ListView expands to fill its available space. However, if you want to limit the height of the ListView and make it fill only the remaining space within its parent container, you can use the Expanded widget.

Example

Let’s consider an example where we have a parent container with some other widgets, and we want the ListView to fill the remaining space within that container. Here’s how you can achieve it:

  
Scaffold(
  appBar: AppBar(
    title: Text('ListView Fill Remaining Space'),
  ),
  body: Column(
    children: [
      Container(
        color: Colors.blue,
        height: 100, // Fixed height for the container

        // Other widgets within the container
      ),
      Expanded(
        child: ListView(
          children: [
            // List items go here
          ],
        ),
      ),
    ],
  ),
)
  
  

In the above example, we use the Expanded widget to wrap the ListView widget. This causes the ListView to fill the remaining space within the parent Column.

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the ListView as per your requirements, such as adding a list of items or applying different scroll physics.
