Resolving the Vertical viewport was given unbounded height Error in Flutter with Firebase

If you are developing a Flutter application and querying data from Firebase, you may encounter a frustrating error: "Vertical viewport was given unbounded height." This issue often arises when using ListView inside a SingleChildScrollView, leading to layout problems because Flutter cannot determine how much vertical space the ListView should take.

In this guide, we will dive into why this error occurs and present a clear solution to resolve it effectively.

Understanding the Problem

When you using a ListView inside a SingleChildScrollView, Flutter doesn't know how much height to allocate for the ListView. Since ListView is designed to be scrollable, it requires bounded height to render correctly. This situation might lead to unbounded height errors because the parent SingleChildScrollView does not provide explicit height.

Common Symptoms

The application may crash or show a runtime error message.

The layout of the application fails to display correctly.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the Vertical viewport was given unbounded height error, you can make a simple adjustment to your ListView widget.

1. Add shrinkWrap: true

In your Flutter code, you need to set the shrinkWrap property of both ListView widgets to true. This allows the ListView to take only the space it needs based on its children.

Here’s how you can modify your code:

Explanation of Changes

Setting shrinkWrap: true: By enabling shrinkWrap, you instruct the ListView to only use the portion of space it needs, thus avoiding the unbounded height issue.

Maintaining App Responsiveness: This adjustment ensures that the layout adapts correctly to the data being displayed without causing overflow or errors.

Conclusion

Encountering a Vertical viewport was given unbounded height error in Flutter when working with Firebase can be a common hurdle. By adding shrinkWrap: true to your ListView widgets, you can alleviate this issue effectively. This small tweak not only ensures that your app runs smoothly but also enhances the user experience by displaying content as intended.

Keep this solution handy the next time you work with nested scrollable widgets in Flutter! If you have further questions or run into other issues, feel free to explore the Flutter documentation or reach out to the Flutter community for additional support.

Happy coding!
