How to implement Nested ListView in Flutter?

Question

What is the preferred way to achieve a nested ListView, or in other words, ListView Widgets that could be included within a scrollable parent?

Imagine a \"Reports\"

Answer 1

If you want to have the inner ListView be scrollable independently of the main scroll view, you should use NestedScrollView. Otherwise, use a CustomScrollView.

Here is some code illustrating the NestedScrollView approach.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(new MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: new MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      body: new NestedScrollView(
        headerSliverBuilder: (BuildContext context, bool innerBoxIsScrolled) {
          return [
            new SliverAppBar(
              pinned: true,
              title: new Text('Flutter Demo'),
            ),
          ];
        },
        body: new Column(
          children: [
            new FlutterLogo(size: 100.0, colors: Colors.purple),
            new Container(
              height: 300.0,
              child: new ListView.builder(
                itemCount: 60,
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return new Text('Item $index');
                },
              ),
            ),
            new FlutterLogo(size: 100.0, colors: Colors.orange),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
