how to create horizontal and vertical scrollable widgets in flutter

Question

sample Layout image

I am trying to create attached layout. It has two containers.

• First is a fixed size box that scrolls horizontally.
• Second is a card that takes up remaining space with list view inside it.

How can I achieve this layout ?

As you can see, the scroll direction is different for both containers.

The code is working till the Tags view (first box) but as soon as I am adding a second box i.e card, it is not showing anything and getting errors at console as below..

I/flutter ( 9412):   AnimatedDefaultTextStyle ← _InkFeatures-[GlobalKey#85877 ink renderer] ←
I/flutter ( 9412):   NotificationListener<LayoutChangedNotification> ← ⋯
I/flutter ( 9412):   parentData: offset=Offset(0.0, 0.0); flex=null; fit=null (can use size)

Answer 1

Use this trick:

1. Wrap your Row in a SingleChildScrollView.
2. Use scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal in the SingleChildScrollView.
3. Wrap SingleChildScrollView in the your ListView.
