In this step, add a ConstrainedBox |
as the child of the SingleChildScrollView.The ConstrainedBox widget imposes additional constraints to its child.Configure the constraint by setting the minHeight parameter to be |
the maxHeight of the LayoutBuilder constraints.This ensures that the child widget |
is constrained to have a minimum height equal to the available |
space provided by the LayoutBuilder constraints, |
namely the maximum height of the BoxConstraints. |
<code_start>LayoutBuilder(builder: (context, constraints) { |
return SingleChildScrollView( |
child: ConstrainedBox( |
constraints: BoxConstraints(minHeight: constraints.maxHeight), |
child: Placeholder(), |
), |
); |
});<code_end> |
However, you don’t set the maxHeight parameter, |
because you need to allow the child to be larger |
than the LayoutBuilder size, |
in case the items don’t fit the screen.<topic_end> |

3. Create a Column with spaced items |
Finally, add a Column as the child of the ConstrainedBox.To space the items evenly, |
set the mainAxisAlignment to MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween. |
<code_start>LayoutBuilder(builder: (context, constraints) { |
return SingleChildScrollView( |
child: ConstrainedBox( |
constraints: BoxConstraints(minHeight: constraints.maxHeight), |
child: Column( |
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween, |
children: [ |
ItemWidget(text: 'Item 1'), |
ItemWidget(text: 'Item 2'), |
ItemWidget(text: 'Item 3'), |
], |
), |
), |
); |
});<code_end> |
Alternatively, you can use the Spacer widget |
to tune the spacing between the items, |
or the Expanded widget, if you want one widget to take more space than others.For that, you have to wrap the Column with an IntrinsicHeight widget, |
which forces the Column widget to size itself to a minimum height, |
instead of expanding infinitely. |
<code_start>LayoutBuilder(builder: (context, constraints) { |
return SingleChildScrollView( |
child: ConstrainedBox( |
constraints: BoxConstraints(minHeight: constraints.maxHeight), |
child: IntrinsicHeight( |
child: Column( |
children: [ |
ItemWidget(text: 'Item 1'), |
Spacer(), |
ItemWidget(text: 'Item 2'), |
Expanded( |
child: ItemWidget(text: 'Item 3'), |
), |
], |
), |
), |
), |
); |
});<code_end> |
lightbulb Tip |
Play around with different devices, resizing the app, |
or resizing the browser window, and see how the item list adapts |
to the available space.<topic_end> |

Interactive example |
This example shows a list of items that are spaced evenly within a column. |
The list can be scrolled up and down when the items don’t fit the screen. |
The number of items is defined by the variable items, |
change this value to see what happens when the items won’t fit the screen. |
<code_start>import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; |
void main() => runApp(const SpacedItemsList()); |
class SpacedItemsList extends StatelessWidget { |
const SpacedItemsList({super.key}); |
@override |
Widget build(BuildContext context) { |
const items = 4; |
return MaterialApp( |
title: 'Flutter Demo', |
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, |
theme: ThemeData( |
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple), |
cardTheme: CardTheme(color: Colors.blue.shade50), |
useMaterial3: true, |
), |
home: Scaffold( |
body: LayoutBuilder(builder: (context, constraints) { |
return SingleChildScrollView( |
child: ConstrainedBox( |
constraints: BoxConstraints(minHeight: constraints.maxHeight), |
child: Column( |
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween, |
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch, |
children: List.generate( |
items, (index) => ItemWidget(text: 'Item $index')), |
), |
), |
); |
}), |
