Flutter Another exception was thrown: RenderBox was not laid out: RenderRepaintBoundary#eaea6 NEEDS-LAYOUT NEEDS-PAINT

Question

I'm using SingleChildScrollView and a Column to display a swiper and a gridview.

If I use some other widget like text, image in my column, the app shows ok. But my swiper and gridview can't be shown, and report error:

I/flutter ( 4687): ══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY RENDERING LIBRARY ╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
I/flutter ( 4687): The following assertion was thrown during performLayout():

I/flutter ( 4687): When a column is in a parent that does not provide a finite height constraint, for example if it is

I'm used to be a uwp developer, and new to flutter. Can anyone help? Here is the code :

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  final List<ListItem> _children;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body:SingleChildScrollView(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
          children: <Widget>[
            Expanded(
                child: Container(
              height: 200,
              child: Swiper(
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return Image.network(
                    "http://via.placeholder.com/350x150",
                    fit: BoxFit.fitHeight,
                  );
                },
                itemCount: 5,
                pagination: SwiperPagination(),
                control: SwiperControl(),
              ),
            )),
            Expanded(
              child: GridView.builder(
                gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
                    crossAxisCount: 4, childAspectRatio: 1.0),
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return ListItemWidget(_children[index]);
                },
                itemCount: _children.length,
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

You cannot have an Expanded widget within the SingleChildScrollView which has boundless vertical dimensions.

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  final List<ListItem> _children;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: Column(
          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
          children: <Widget>[
            Expanded(
                child: Container(
              height: 200,
              child: Swiper(
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return Image.network(
                    "http://via.placeholder.com/350x150",
                    fit: BoxFit.fitHeight,
                  );
                },
                itemCount: 5,
                pagination: SwiperPagination(),
                control: SwiperControl(),
              ),
            )),
            Expanded(
              child: GridView.builder(
                gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
                    crossAxisCount: 4, childAspectRatio: 1.0),
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return ListItemWidget(_children[index]);
                },
                itemCount: _children.length,
              ),
            ),
          ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

You can have your Column inside a SizedBox and then wrap the SizedBox with SingleChildScrollView

For Eg:

new Scaffold(
body: SingleChildScrollView(
    child: Sizedbox(
      child: new Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          header,
          new Padding(
            child: GridView.builder(
                gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
                    crossAxisCount: 4, childAspectRatio: 1.0),
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return ListItemWidget(_children[index]);
                },
                itemCount: _children.length,
              ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
  ),
),
