I am new to flutter. Just have to center my Grid view:
Below is the Code I tried:
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Material(
color: Colors.deepPurpleAccent,
child: new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children:<Widget>[new GridView.count(crossAxisCount: _column,children: new List.generate(_row*_column, (index) {
return new Center(
child: new CellWidget()
);
}),)]
)
);
}
Exception as follows:
I/flutter ( 9925): ══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY RENDERING LIBRARY ╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Thanks in advance!
Adding this two lines
ListView.builder(
scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
shrinkWrap: true,
...
This generally happens when you try to use a ListView
/GridView
inside a Column
, there are many ways of solving it, I am listing few here.
Wrap ListView
in Expanded
Column(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded( // wrap in Expanded
child: ListView(...),
),
],
)
Wrap ListView
in SizedBox
and give a bounded height
Column(
children: <Widget>[
SizedBox(
height: 400, // fixed height
child: ListView(...),
),
],
)
Use shrinkWrap: true
in ListView
.
Column(
children: <Widget>[
ListView(
shrinkWrap: true, // use this
),
],
)
put grid view inside Flexible or Expanded widget
return new Material(
color: Colors.deepPurpleAccent,
child: new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children:<Widget>[
Flexible(
child: GridView.count(crossAxisCount: _column,children: new List.generate(_row*_column, (index) {
return new Center(
child: new CellWidget(),
);
}),))]
)
);
So, everyone posted answers but no one cared to explain why:
I'll copy the documentation about shrinkWrap
:
Whether the extent of the scroll view in the [scrollDirection] should be
determined by the contents being viewed.
If the scroll view does not shrink wrap, then the scroll view will expand
to the maximum allowed size in the [scrollDirection]. If the scroll view
has unbounded constraints in the [scrollDirection], then [shrinkWrap] must
be true.
Shrink wrapping the content of the scroll view is significantly more
expensive than expanding to the maximum allowed size because the content
can expand and contract during scrolling, which means the size of the
scroll view needs to be recomputed whenever the scroll position changes.
Defaults to false
.
So, taking the vocabulary of the docs, what's happening here is that our ListView
is in a situation of unbounded constraints (in the direction that we are scrolling), thus the ListView
will complain that:
... a vertical viewport was given an unlimited amount of vertical space in
which to expand.
By simply setting shrinkWrap
to true
will make sure that it wraps its size defined by the contents. A sample code to illustrate:
// ...
ListView(
// Says to the `ListView` that it must wrap its
// height (if it's vertical) and width (if it's horizontal).
shrinkWrap: true,
),
// ...
That's what is going with your code, nonetheless, @Rémi suggestion is the best for this case, using Align
instead of a Column
.
Don't use Column
for single child alignment. Use Align
instead.
new Align(
alignment: Alignment.topCenter,
child: new GridView(),
)
This situation typically happens when a scrollable widget is nested inside another scrollable widget.
In my case i use GridView inside of Column and that error throws.
GridView widget has shrinkWrap
property/named parameter, to set it true
my problem is fixed.
GridView.count(
shrinkWrap: true,
// rest of code
)
There is a widget called Center. It should help you achive what you want to do (center it vertically). Official Documentation for Center widget
