How to overlap SliverList on a SliverAppBar

Question

I\'m trying to overlap a SliverList a few pixels over the SliverAppBar. Similar to this post. I\'d like the image in the FlexibleSpaceBar

I found an easier way to achieve that:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'How to overlap SliverList on a SliverAppBar',
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: Home(),
    );
  }
}

class Home extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: CustomScrollView(
        slivers: [
          SliverAppBar(
            bottom: PreferredSize(
              child: Container(),
              preferredSize: Size(0, 20),
            ),
            pinned: false,
            expandedHeight: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.4,
            flexibleSpace: Stack(
              children: [
                Positioned(
                    child: Image(
                      fit: BoxFit.cover,
                      image: NetworkImage(
                        "https://images.pexels.com/photos/62389/pexels-photo-62389.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260",
                      ),
                    ),
                    top: 0,
                    left: 0,
                    right: 0,
                    bottom: 0),
                Positioned(
                  child: Container(
                    height: 30,
                    decoration: BoxDecoration(
                      color: Colors.lightBlue[100],
                      borderRadius: BorderRadius.vertical(
                        top: Radius.circular(50),
                      ),
                    ),
                  ),
                  bottom: -1,
                  left: 0,
                  right: 0,
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
          SliverFixedExtentList(
            itemExtent: 50.0,
            delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate(
              (BuildContext context, int index) {
                return Container(
                  alignment: Alignment.center,
                  color: Colors.lightBlue[100 * (index + 1 % 9)],
                  child: Text('List Item $index'),
                );
              },
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

You can see it in DartPad: https://dartpad.dev/e2976ad6ede98813b75ee44b1217cc96

The important part is to use a stack in the flexibleSpace that contains the content you wanna show as a positioned widget and another position widget with the border decoration.

You also need to use the bottom section of the SliverAppBar setting the preferred size as the same as the widget with border decoration.

The DartPad does not render the widget properly (it shows a margin at the bottom, but this does not happen in the iOS/Android).
