    double maxHeight = MediaQuery.of(context).size.height;
    developer.log('Max height:' + maxHeight.toString());
    return Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        Container(
          child: TabBar(
            labelColor: Colors.black,
            tabs: [
              new Tab(text: 'Credit', icon: new Icon(Icons.list)),
              new Tab(text: 'Debit', icon: new Icon(Icons.pie_chart)),
              new Tab(text: 'Online', icon: new Icon(Icons.insert_chart)),
            ],
            controller: _tabController,
            onTap: _handleTabSelection,
          ),
        ),
        Container(
          margin: new EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
          height: maxHeight - 229,
          child: new Center(
            child: new RefreshIndicator(
              onRefresh: refreshList,
              child: createReportList(context, data),
            ),
