How to use Expanded in SingleChildScrollView

How to use Expanded in SingleChildScrollView? I have a screen with Image.network, ListView.builder and Row (TextFormField and IconButton). I wrapped ListView with Expanded. How to wrap this column with SingleChildScrollView? I need to move screen when the keyboard is open to see what I am writing. When I wrap my column I have this error.

      body: SingleChildScrollView(
        child: Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            Container(
              child: GestureDetector(
                child:
                Image.network(
                  postOne.imageUrl,
                  fit: BoxFit.fitWidth,
                  height: MediaQuery
                      .of(context)
                      .size
                      .width,
                  width: MediaQuery
                      .of(context)
                      .size
                      .width,
                ),
                onLongPress: () {},
                onDoubleTap: () {},
              ),
            ),
            Expanded(
              //height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width*0.33,
              child: ListView.builder(
                  itemCount: commentList.length,
                  itemBuilder: (context, position) {
                    return GestureDetector(

The error message suggests that the Expanded widget cannot be used within SingleChildScrollView because it requires a bounded height constraint, but SingleChildScrollView provides an unbounded height constraint to its child. To resolve this error, you can try the following:

  1. Remove the Expanded widget and replace it with a fixed-height container. For example, you could wrap your ListView.builder widget with a SizedBox widget and specify a height, like this:

    ​SingleChildScrollView(
      child: Column(
        children: [
          ...
          SizedBox(
            height: 300, // Replace with the desired height
            child: ListView.builder(
              itemCount: commentList.length,
              itemBuilder: (context, position) {
                ...
              }
            ),
          ),
          ...
        ],
      ),
    )
     
  2. If you need your ListView.builder widget to take up as much vertical space as possible while still fitting within the constraints provided by the SingleChildScrollView, you can use a LayoutBuilder widget to get the maximum height available to the ListView.builder and then wrap it with an Expanded widget. Here's an example:

    SingleChildScrollView(
      child: Column(
        children: [
          ...
          LayoutBuilder(
            builder: (context, constraints) {
              return Expanded(
                child: SizedBox(
                  height: constraints.maxHeight,
                  child: ListView.builder(
                    itemCount: commentList.length,
                    itemBuilder: (context, position) {
                      ...
                    }
                  ),
                ),
              );
            },
          ),
          ...
        ],
      ),
    )
     

    This approach will allow the ListView.builder to take up as much space as possible within the constraints provided by the SingleChildScrollView, while still allowing the user to scroll if the content exceeds the available space.
