Flutter: RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are unbounded

Time:05-19

I'm using the following flutter code to display an image a post title and a description ane after another.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class LatestPost extends StatelessWidget {
  const LatestPost({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ListView.builder(
        itemCount: 5,
        itemBuilder: (context, i) {
          return Card(
            child: ListTile(
              title: Column(
                children: [
                    SizedBox(
                        width: 70.0,
                        height: 20.0,
                        child: Image.asset("images/image_2.jpg")),
                  const Expanded(
                      child: Text(
                    "Post Title",
                    style: TextStyle(
                      fontSize: 24.0,
                      fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
                    ),
                  ))
                ],
              ),
            ),
          );
        });
  }
}

But the following error is thrown:

The following assertion was thrown during performLayout(): RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are unbounded.

When a column is in a parent that does not provide a finite height constraint, for example if it is in a vertical scrollable, it will try to shrink-wrap its children along the vertical axis. Setting a flex on a child (e.g. using Expanded) indicates that the child is to expand to fill the remaining space in the vertical direction. These two directives are mutually exclusive. If a parent is to shrink-wrap its child, the child cannot simultaneously expand to fit its parent.

Consider setting mainAxisSize to MainAxisSize.min and using FlexFit.loose fits for the flexible children (using Flexible rather than Expanded). This will allow the flexible children to size themselves to less than the infinite remaining space they would otherwise be forced to take, and then will cause the RenderFlex to shrink-wrap the children rather than expanding to fit the maximum constraints provided by the parent.

If this message did not help you determine the problem, consider using debugDumpRenderTree(): image

CodePudding user response:

Your code is ok, just remove Expanded.

Your code:

const Expanded(
      child: Text(
         "Post Title",
          style: TextStyle(
            fontSize: 24.0,
            fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
          ),
     ))

Instead, use this:

const Text(
      "Post Title",
      style: TextStyle(
        fontSize: 24.0,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
      ),
)
