Expanded widget inside Column not expanded, instead it's got invisible

Question

I am trying to expand widget inside of Column widget but not able to make it expended.

When giving constant height to parent widget, the layout will be rendered as expected. But as I remove the constant height layout is not as expected as I want to make Listview with it and I should not give a constant height to the widget which will be used as listview item.

Below is my layout code.

 import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

 void main() {

 runApp(MaterialApp(
title: 'layout test',
home: Layout_test_class(),
));

 }



class Layout_test_class extends StatelessWidget {

Widget cell() {

return Container(
  color: Colors.yellow,
//      height: 200, after un commenting this will work. but i want to make it without this

  child: Row(
    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.end,
    mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
    children: <Widget>[

      Expanded(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
          children: <Widget>[

            Expanded(
              child: Container(
                color: Colors.green,
                child: Text('apple z'),
              ),
            ),

            Container(
              color: Colors.red,
              child:Text('apple 2'),
            )
          ],
        ),
      ),

      Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          Container(
            color: Colors.black,
            width: 200,
            height: 200,
          ),
        ],
      ),

    ],
  ),

);

}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// TODO: implement build
return Scaffold(
  appBar: AppBar(
    title: Text('title'),
  ),
  body: Center(
   child: ListView(
     children: <Widget>[
       cell(),
     ],
   )
  ),
);
}

}

Below is my expected output screenshot.

Try to wrap your Container with IntrinsicHeight

return IntrinsicHeight(
        Container(
          color: Colors.yellow
          child: ...
        )
)
