Flutter: "RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are unbounded" Ask Question

Flutter:

I want to have a ListView inside another widget when I wrap FutureBuilder in a Column in order to have a simple Row. I get this error:

The following assertion was thrown during performLayout():
I/flutter (13816): RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are unbounded.
I/flutter (13816): When a column is in a parent that does not provide a finite height constraint, for example, if it is
I/flutter (13816): in a vertical scrollable, it will try to shrink-wrap its children along the vertical axis. Setting a
I/flutter (13816): flex on a child (e.g. using Expanded) indicates that the child is to expand to fill the remaining
I/flutter (13816): space in the vertical direction.
I/flutter (13816): These two directives are mutually exclusive. If a parent is to shrink-wrap its child, the child
I/flutter (13816): cannot simultaneously expand to fit its parent.
I/flutter (13816): Consider setting mainAxisSize to MainAxisSize.min and using FlexFit.loose fits for the flexible
I/flutter (13816): children (using Flexible rather than Expanded). This will allow the flexible children to size
I/flutter (13816): themselves to less than the infinite remaining space they would otherwise be forced to take, and
I/flutter (13816): then will cause the RenderFlex to shrink-wrap the children rather than expanding to fit the maximum
I/flutter (13816): constraints provided by the parent.
I/flutter (13816): If this message did not help you determine the problem, consider using debugDumpRenderTree():

My code:

Explanation

How wrapping a Column > Expanded with another Expanded solves the error.

RenderFlex Unbounded Error

A common nested Column-Expanded hierarchy that gets the "RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are unbounded" error:

Screen
  → Column
    → Column
      → Expanded → ERROR

What's happening:

Screen
  ↓ constraint ↓ (Screen)
  Column
    Text_A (fixed height: no constraint needed) → OK
    Column 
      ↓ constraint ↓ (unbounded)
      Text_B (fixed height) → OK
      Expanded: calc. height = unbounded - Text_B → ERROR

During layout, a Column performs (in order):

  • fixed-height (i.e. null/zero flex-factor) widget layouts in unbounded space, then...
  • flex-factor sized widgets, calculating remaining space from the parent (i.e. incoming constraints) & the fixed size widgets

Text_A above is fixed-height. It doesn't use incoming constraints for layout.

Expanded though, is a flex-factor widget, sizing itself on remaining space, after fixed-size items are laid out. This requires an incoming constraint (parent size) to do subtraction:

  parent size (constraint) - fixed-items size = remaining space

The 1st Column gets constraints from the device screen (provided via Scaffold, etc.).

But, the 2nd Column (the nested one) is laid out in unbounded space.

Remaining space cannot be calculated:

  unbounded - Text_B = unbounded (error)

Why is a Nested Column Unbounded?

Screen
  → Column
    → Column
      → Expanded

Copied from Column SDK source documentation, Step 1:

/// 1. Layout each child with a null or zero flex factor (e.g., those that are not
///    [Expanded]) with unbounded vertical constraints

The 2nd, nested Column:

  • is a child of Column (the 1st one, obviously), and...
  • has zero or null flex factor

The second point is easy to miss/not see, but Column is not a flex-factor widget.

Checking SDK source...

Column extends Flex class.

Flex, does not have a flex field / flex factor. Only Flexible class and its children are flex factor widgets.

So the 2nd Column is laid out in unbounded constraints because it is not a flex-factor widget. Those unbounded constraints are used to layout Text_B widget (a fixed-size or null flex factor widget), then Expanded tries to calculate remaining space. When trying to calculate remaining space with an unbounded constraint....

  unbounded - Text_B = unbounded (error)

�� Expanded explodes ��

Flexible

To be hyper-repetitive: Flexible, is the flex-factor widget with a flex field/factor.

Expanded and Spacer are the only child classes of Flexible (that I know of).

So Expanded, Spacer, and Flexible are the only flex-factor widgets and

Flexible != Flex


The Fix - Adding Bounds

Fixing the widget tree:

Screen
  → Column
    → Expanded ← new
      → Column
        → Expanded → OK

Why this works...

Screen
  ↓ constraint ↓
  Column
    Text_A ↑ fixed-size ↑
    ↓ constraint ↓ (calculated: Screen height - Text_A height)
    Expanded_A
      ↓ constraint ↓ (Screen - Text_A)
      Column
        Text_B ↑ fixed-size ↑
        Expanded_B: calc. height = (Screen - Text_A) - Text_B = remaining space → OK

この場合...固定項目がレイアウトされた後 ( Text_A)、残りのスペースは次のように計算されますExpanded_A

parent size (screen) - fixed-items (Text_A) = remaining space

Expanded_A定義された量のスペースが確保されました。

Expanded_Aレイアウト後Columnに残りのスペースを計算する子供が使用するためのサイズを提供します。Expanded_BText_B

parent size - fixed-items = remaining space
(Screen - Text_A) - (Text_B) = remaining space for Expanded_B

現在、すべての flex-factor 相対サイズ ウィジェット (つまりExpanded_A、、Expanded_B) には、レイアウト サイズを計算するための境界制約があります。

Flexibleここで は と互換的に使用できることに注意してくださいExpanded。 は と同じ方法で残りのスペースを計算しますExpanded。 子要素をそのサイズに合わせることを強制しないので、必要に応じて小さくすることができます。
