ListView showing only 1 card widget but causes blank space below

i’m trying to display only 1 card widget inside a listView.builder, the card is displayed but shows extra space that I couldn’t find a way to remove.

There are actually 2 separated listViews, one should contain a single card and another that holds a list of cards.

here’s my code:

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text(
        'Fiche du patient',
        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
      )),
      body: Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          Expanded(
            child: ListView.builder(
                itemCount: 1,
                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return Card(
                    color: Colors.white,
                    elevation: 2.0,
                    margin: EdgeInsets.all(10),
                    child: ListTile(
                      contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 30, left: 36),
                      title: Text('${widget.patient['nomComplet']}'),
                      subtitle: Text('Médecin: ${widget.patient['medecin']}'),
                      trailing: Text('CH: 107'),
                      leading: Icon(Icons.person),
                    ),
                  );
                }),
          ),
          Expanded(
            child: ListView.builder(
              itemCount: docsMesures.length,
              itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                return Card(
                    margin: EdgeInsets.all(10),
                    child: ListTile(
                      trailing: IconButton(
                        icon: Icon(Icons.edit),
                        onPressed: () {
                          Fluttertoast.showToast(
                              msg: 'Traitement de la demande');
                        },
                      ),
                      contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 30, left: 36),
                      title: Text(
                          'Demandée par: ${docsMesures[index]['affectePar']}'),
                      subtitle: Text(
                          'Date limite: ${DateFormat('dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm a').format(docsMesures[index]['datePrise'].toDate())}'),
                    ));
              },
            ),
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

And here is the result as displayed:

Thanks in advance!

>Solution :

That’s because you are using Expanded in a column of two ListViews, this would result in each one of them having half of the height.

removing the Expanded from the first ListView and adding shrinkWrap:true to it would resolve the problem.

so this code for example:

Column(
        children: <Widget>[

          ListView.builder(
                itemCount: 1,
             shrinkWrap: true,

                itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                  return Card(
                    color: Colors.white,
                    elevation: 2.0,
                    margin: EdgeInsets.all(10),
                    child: ListTile(
                      contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 30, left: 36),
                      title: Text('asdf'),
                      subtitle: Text('Médecin: '),
                      trailing: Text('CH: 107'),
                      leading: Icon(Icons.person),
                    ),
                  );
                }),
     
          Expanded(
            child: ListView.builder(
              itemCount: 11,
              itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                return Card(
                    margin: EdgeInsets.all(10),
                    child: ListTile(
                      trailing: IconButton(
                        icon: Icon(Icons.edit),
                        onPressed: () {
                    
                        },
                      ),
                      contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 30, left: 36),
                      title: Text(
                          'Demandée par:'),
                  
                    ));
              },
            ),
          )
        ],
      );

would give you something like this:
