Answer 1

I have a same problem. The ListView.builder don't work inside a Column, this necessary use the Expanded. The Expanded widget allows you to expand and fill the space with the relative widget.

See this:

child: Column(
   children: <Widget>[
      Expanded(
         child: ListView.builder(
            .......
         )
      )
   ]
)

Answer 2

You're missing the return statement in your itemBuilder

itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
    return Text(menServicesList[index].name);
}),

or

itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) => Text(menServicesList[index].name)),

Answer 3

Wrap your ListView inside of a Expanded or a Container widget, if you use a Container, you'll need to set a height/width.

This happens because ListView doesn't have a height/width property to edit.

EDIT

Don't forget to return your Text inside the itemBuilder property.
