Multiple Gridview builder in Scaffold body

Question

In my view have to add multiple vertical Gridviews which load data from a database.

The problem is that when I add the Gridviews inside a column or Wrap, an error appears as the heights are not fixed. How can I add multiple Gridview in body?

Answer 1

I have found a better way to do it without fixing the height of the Container.

Base on childAspectRatio defined flutter will automatically assign height

Below is an example:

Container(
              child: listCat.length != 0
                  ? GridView.builder(
                      scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
                      physics: NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
                      itemCount: listCat.length <= 0 ? 0 : listCat.length,
                      primary: true,
                      shrinkWrap: true,
                      addAutomaticKeepAlives: true,
                      padding: EdgeInsets.all(0),
                      gridDelegate:
                          new SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
                              mainAxisSpacing: 2,
                              crossAxisSpacing: 3,
                              crossAxisCount: 4,
                              childAspectRatio: MediaQuery.of(context)
                                      .size
                                      .width /
                                  (MediaQuery.of(context).size.height /
                                      1.5)),
                      itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) =>
                          _makeElementCat(index),
                    )
                  : Center(
                      child: SpinKitFadingFour(
                        color: Colors.green,
                        size: 50.0,
                      ),
                    ),
            ),

Thank you all.

Wrap with Container, also check height and shrinkWrap: true , the following example demo GridView.builder and GridView.count

full code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        // This is the theme of your application.
        //
        // Try running your application with "flutter run". You'll see the
        // application has a blue toolbar. Then, without quitting the app, try
        // changing the primarySwatch below to Colors.green and then invoke
        // "hot reload" (press "r" in the console where you ran "flutter run",
        // or simply save your changes to "hot reload" in a Flutter IDE).
        // Notice that the counter didn't reset back to zero; the application
        // is not restarted.
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  // This widget is the home page of your application. It is stateful, meaning
  // that it has a State object (defined below) that contains fields that affect
  // how it looks.

  // This class is the configuration for the state. It holds the values (in this
  // case the title) provided by the parent (in this case the App widget) and
  // used by the build method of the State. Fields in a Widget subclass are
  // always marked "final".

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {
      // This call to setState tells the Flutter framework that something has
      // changed in this State, which causes it to rerun the build method below
      // so that the display can reflect the updated values. If we changed
      // _counter without calling setState(), then the build method would not be
      // called again, and so nothing would appear to happen.
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  List<String> data = ["abc", "def", "kkk","aaa", "abc", "def", "kkk","aaa", "abc", "def", "kkk","aaa", "abc", "def", "kkk","aaa", "abc", "def", "kkk","aaa"];

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // This method is rerun every time setState is called, for instance as done
    // by the _incrementCounter method above.
    //
    // The Flutter framework has been optimized to make rerunning build methods
    // fast, so that you can just rebuild anything that needs updating rather
    // than having to individually change instances of widgets.
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        // Here we take the value from the MyHomePage object that was created by
        // the App.build method, and use it to set our appbar title.
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
