Flutter: How to show array data from ListView.builder inside a ListView.builder?

Question

I have a JSON file like that:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "continent": "North America",
    "country": [
      {
        "name": "United States",
        "capital": "Washington, D.C.",
        "language": [
          "English"
        ]
      },
      {
        "name": "Canada",
        "capital": "Ottawa",
        "language": [
          "English",
          "French"
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "continent": "Europe",
    "country": [
      {
        "name": "Germany",
        "capital": "Berlin",
        "language": [
          "German"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

I used https://app.quicktype.io/ to parse JSON data. I have created a ListView.builder to display the names of continents. Now I want to show "country name", "capital", and "language" for each continent.

So please help me do that, this is the main file

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'model/continent_model.dart';
import 'services/continent_services.dart';

class ContinentPage extends StatefulWidget {
  ContinentPage() : super();
  @override
  _ContinentPageState createState() => _ContinentPageState();
}

class _ContinentPageState extends State<ContinentPage> {
  List<Continent> _continent;
  List<Country> _country;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    ContinentServices.getContinent().then((continents) {
      setState(() {
        _continent = continents;
      });
    });
  }

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(),
        body: Container(
            child: ListView.builder(
                itemCount: null == _continent ? 0 : _continent.length,
                itemBuilder: (context, index) {
                  return Row(
                    mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text(_continent[index].continent),
                      // how to create a ListView show a Column that includes:
                      // _country[index].name,
                      // _country[index].capital,
                      // _country[index].language,
                    ],
                  );
                })));
  }
}

You can copy paste run full code below
You can use nested ListView.separated
code snippet

ListView.separated(
            separatorBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
              return SizedBox(
                height: 10,
              );
            },
            shrinkWrap: true,
            itemCount: null == _continent ? 0 : _continent.length,
            itemBuilder: (context, index) {
              return Column(
                mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
                children: <Widget>[
                  Row(
                      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                      crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
                      children: <Widget>[
                        Expanded(
                            flex: 1, child: Text(_continent[index].continent)),
                        Expanded(
                          flex: 2,
                          child: Container(
                            height: 50,
                            child: ListView.separated(
                                separatorBuilder:

It's too long to describe all the detail, you can directly reference full code

                                          ),
                                        )
                                      ]);
                                }),
                          ),
                        )
                      ])
                ],
              );
            }));
  }
}

I still have to say thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in helping me. Your code is incredible, I have learned a lot from it xD
Can I have one more favor? I want the 2nd ListView.separated:=> itemCount: 3, its width will fit the left screen, cannot be scrolled horizontal and split evenly for 3 columns (like Expanded flex 1: 1: 1) image, the Text in that will automatically resize to fit, I think AutoSizeText is great. So is there any way to do that?
I would suggest post your request to a new question to allow more people can help you. Responsive for different screen size is a huge topic.

You need to place the second listview.builder inside a container with a defined height.

Container(
  height: 120,
  child: ListView.builder(
    shrinkWrap: true,
    scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
    itemCount: map.length,
    itemBuilder: (context, index) => Column(
      children: [
        Text(_country.elementAt(index).name),
        Text(_country.elementAt(index).capital),
Text(_country.elementAt(index).language),
      ],
    ),
  ),
)
