**

Use container height for scrolling and also use physics: AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics(), controller: controller,

**

Container(
    width: 400,
    child: Drawer(
      child: Stack(children: [
        Container(
          height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height-80,
          child: ListView(
            controller: controller,
            padding: EdgeInsets.zero,
            
            physics: AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics(),
            children: [
              Container(
                height: 300,
                padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 20, horizontal: 10),
                child: DrawerHeader(
                  child:Stack(children: [
                    Center(
                      child: Column(
                        children: [
                          nullCatcher(image) == "" ? Image.asset("assets/images/doctor.png",height: 90,width: 90,) : Image.network(
                            "$image",

                            width: 90,

                          SizedBox(width: 30,),

Answer 2

I found a solution how to track the offset with lists that have a smaller content height than the viewport. Use a NotificationListener together with a CustomScrollView in the build() method like this:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: new MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  ScrollController _controller = new ScrollController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new NotificationListener(
      onNotification: _handleScrollPosition,
        child: new CustomScrollView(
            slivers: [
              new SliverList(
                  delegate: new SliverChildListDelegate([
                    new Container(
                      height: 40.0,
                      color: Colors.blue,
                    ),
                    new Container(
                      height: 40.0,
                      color: Colors.red,
                    ),
                    new Container(
                      height: 40.0,
                      color: Colors.green,
                    ),
                  ])
              )
            ]
        )
    );
  }

  bool _handleScrollPosition(ScrollNotification notification) {
    print(notification.metrics.pixels);
    return true;
  }
}

As long as there is no solution with a ScrollController only (or a "better" (more elegant)) solution, I will accept this as the answer.

Answer 3

Creates scroll physics using AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics that always lets the user scroll.

For scroll with bouncing effect Just supply physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(parent: AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics) to your scroller. That will make it always scrollable, even when there isn't content that overflows

const BouncingScrollPhysics(parent: AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics())

Here is full example

ListView(
  padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
  physics: const BouncingScrollPhysics(parent: AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics()),
  children: _listData.map((i) {
    return ListTile(
      title: Text("Item $i"),
    );
  }).toList(),
);

Answer 4

Just add AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics

ListView(
        physics: const AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics(),
        children :  [...]
}

Answer 5

I think this solution is better without CustomScrollView. Just use NotificationListener to wrap the ListView.

  Widget noti = new NotificationListener(
    child:listView,
    onNotification: (ScrollNotification note){
      print(note.metrics.pixels.toInt());
    },
  );

I have test it , Bounce is effective

Answer 6

To always have the scroll enabled on a ListView you can wrap the original scroll phisics you want with the AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics class. More details here. If you want you can specify a parent or rely on the default.

Here is your example with the option added:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: new MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  ScrollController _controller = new ScrollController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new ListView(
        physics: const AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics(), // new
        controller: _controller,
        children: <Widget>[
