FirestoreListView inside ListView in Flutter

Question

I am trying to put FirestoreListView inside ListView but i recieve some errors.

My code sample:

ListView(
    children: [
      // Some stuffs here
      FirestoreListView<Map<String, dynamic>>(
          shrinkWrap: true,
          physics: NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
          query: usersQuery,
          itemBuilder: (context, snapshot) {
        Map<String, dynamic> user = snapshot.data();
    
        return Text('User name is ${user['name']}');
        },
      )
  ],
  ),

The error I got:

The following assertion was thrown during performLayout():
RenderCustomMultiChildLayoutBox object was given an infinite size during layout.

After using FirestoreListView inside SizedBox with height it does not work as i want.

@MendelG If i use it inside `Column` by wrapping with `Expaned` then it works but with `ListView` it gives error. — Kai Tera, Jan 01 '23 at 12:56
that's because you can't wrap a `column` in an `Expanded` see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54905388/incorrect-use-of-parent-data-widget-expanded-widgets-must-be-placed-inside-flex — MendelG, Jan 01 '23 at 13:02
But using `Expanded` does solve your issue, however a _different_ issue arises. — MendelG, Jan 01 '23 at 13:02

ListView and FirestoreListView does the same job for you., you can remove the over ListView and just use FirestoreListView, the itemBuilder function will do the required job for you

In the `ListView` I have other stuffs to show. I cannot move my stuffs inside `FirestoreListView`. – Kai Tera Jan 01 '23 at 14:07
