CodePudding user response：

I see a some problems with your code:

1. Container expect only one child.
2. Your "for" doesn't return a widget, and Container is expecting a widget as a child..

I'm not sure what are you trying to do but if you want to have more than one Box you should use a Widget that supports more than one child (like column, listview, row, wrap, etc). Also, don't use "for" in widget tree.

Also, check the documentation about multichild widgets https://docs.flutter.dev/development/ui/widgets/layout

What are you trying to implement? maybe if you share a screen of the intended UI we could help more.
