Getting Incorrect use of ParentDataWidget error when I use ListView

Question

In this part of my application I have ListView, when I run app I get this error and I can't resolve that:

Scaffold(
  body: Directionality(
textDirection: TextDirection.rtl,
child: Container(
  child: StreamBuilder(
    stream: globals.database.ticketsDao.getTicketsStream(),
    builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<List<Tickets>> snapshot) {
      if (snapshot.hasData) {
        return Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            Expanded(
              child: ListView.separated(
                  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
                    return ListTile(
                      title: Flexible(
                        child: Text(
                          snapshot.data[index].subject,
                          style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.caption.copyWith(fontFamily: 'IranSansBold'),
                        ),
                      ),
                      subtitle: Text(
                        snapshot.data[index].description,
                        style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.caption.copyWith(fontFamily: 'IranSansLight'),
                      ),
                    );
                  },
                  separatorBuilder: (context, index) {
                    return Divider();
                  },
                  itemCount:  snapshot.data.length),
            ),
          ],
        );
      } else {
        return Container(
            child: Center(
          child: Text(
            Strings.notAnyTickets,),
          ),
        ));
      }
    },
  ),
),
));

Answer 1

Flexible Widgets must be the direct child of an Expanded or Flex Widget.

In your case, you are using Flexible as a part of a ListTile widget, which is not a suitable parent.

Flexible widgets must be placed directly inside Flex widgets.

Flexible has a Flex ancestor, but there are other widgets between them: - _ListTile

 Widget                      Parent Widget
Expanded()               Row(), Column(), Flex()
Flexible()               Row(), Column(), Flex()
Positioned()                    Stack()
TableCell()                     Table()

You should add explanation. – Basidium

Answer 3

Flexible and Expanded can have row, column or flex as child, but not ListView related widgets.

If you still want the same feel of expanded properties in your widgets, use ConstrainedBox

Ex:

ConstrainedBox(
  constraints: BoxConstraints(minHeight: 50, maxHeight: 500),
  child: ListView.separated(...),
)

Answer 4

For me the issue was using Expanded as a parent widget. I have unknowingly added an Expanded as:

 child: Expanded(
              child: Row(
                children: [
                  const SizedBox(
                    width: 15,
                  ),
                  Expanded().....
                  ])
                )

Then I removed the first Expanded

 child:  Row(
                children: [
                  const SizedBox(
                    width: 15,
                  ),
                  Expanded().....
                  ]
                )

and prob solved!!!
