Using Expanded widget with Column in flutter

Question

im trying to use Expanded widget inside Column, i have tried various methods but nothing seems to be working!

so far i have been successfully built this:

but as it shows, the listview that i have put inside Expanded widget goes under the other widgets,(and the expanded widget is scrolling but the widget on top is in a fixed position) and i tried to put the expanded widget inside another column, and also tried to put the both into separate Expanded widgets, but nothing seems to be working,

i really appreciate your help

here is my code that generates the image above:

import 'package:fluapp/constants.dart';
import 'package:fluapp/models/music_model.dart';
import 'package:fluapp/widgets/custom_button_widget.dart';
import 'package:fluapp/widgets/custom_progress_widget.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class PlayerPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _PlayerPageState createState() => _PlayerPageState();
}

class _PlayerPageState extends State<PlayerPage>
    with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  List<MusicModel> _list;
  int _playid;
  var _value;
  AnimationController _controller;
  var isPlay;
  @override
  void initState() {
    _playid = 3;
    _list = MusicModel.list;
    _value = 0.0;
    _controller =
    AnimationController(vsync: this, duration: Duration(milliseconds: 250));
    isPlay = true;
    super.initState();
  }

Currently your outer column is deciding that there's no scroll behavior. You can wrap it with a SingleChildScrollable but then you'd face the problem of flexible children in a non flexible area. One solution that keeps your flexible layout is using a MediaQuery and just defining a large box as your flexible area:

return Scaffold(
  body: ListView(
    children: [
      SizedBox(
        height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height - 100,
        child: Column(
          children: [
            // Your flexible media player widgets
          ],
        ),
      ),
      ListView.builder(
        shrinkWrap: true,
        primary: false,
        itemCount: 10,
        itemBuilder: (_, __) {
          return ListTile(
            title: Text('song title'),
          );
        },
      ),
    ],
  ),
);
