Flutter group listviews with separator

A much cleaner and simple solution would be to use the following

ListView.separated(
  separatorBuilder: (context, index) => Divider(
        color: Colors.black,
      ),
  itemCount: 20,
  itemBuilder: (context, index) => Padding(
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
        child: Center(child: Text("Index $index")),
      ),
)

simply put the ListItem into a Container and add decoration:

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Container(
        child: new ListTile(
          title: new Text('I have border')
        ),
        decoration:
            new BoxDecoration(
                border: new Border(
                    bottom: new BorderSide()
                )
            )
        );
  }

I apologize for the ugliness of the design, but just to show you, you can pretty much build your own design that you desire, this a quick example:

enter image description here

import "package:flutter/material.dart";
import 'package:meta/meta.dart';

class Test extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _TestState createState() => new _TestState();
}

class _TestState extends State<Test> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text("Test"),
      ),
      body: new ListView.builder(
        // itemCount: myData.lenght(),
          itemCount: 20,
          itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
            //sort my data by timestamp before building
            return new CustomWidget(date: "Convert my time stamp to date",
              content: "My Awesome Content",
              trailingIconOne: new Icon(Icons.share, color: Colors.blueAccent,),
              trailingIconTwo: new Icon(
                Icons.favorite, color: Colors.redAccent,),);
          }),
    );
  }
}

class CustomWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  String date;
  String content;

  Icon trailingIconOne;

  Icon trailingIconTwo;

  CustomWidget(
      {@required this.date, @required this.content, @required this.trailingIconOne, @required this.trailingIconTwo});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Container(
      decoration: new BoxDecoration(
          border: new Border.all(color: Colors.grey[500])
      ),
      child: new Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          new Container (child: new Text(date), color: Colors.yellow[200],),
          new Container(height: 15.0,),
          new Text(content),
          new Row(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
            children: <Widget>[
              new IconButton(icon: trailingIconOne, onPressed: () {}),
              new Container(width: 10.0,),
              new IconButton(icon: trailingIconTwo, onPressed: () {})
            ],
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

For a better design, you can get rid of the borders and use a Divider instead:

return new Container(
      child: new Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          new Column (children: <Widget>[
            new Container (child: new Text(date), color: Colors.yellow[200],),
            new Container(height: 15.0,),
            new Text(content),
            new Row(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
              children: <Widget>[
                new IconButton(icon: trailingIconOne, onPressed: () {}),
                new Container(width: 10.0,),
                new IconButton(icon: trailingIconTwo, onPressed: () {}),
          ], ),

              new Divider(height: 15.0,color: Colors.red,),
            ],
          )
        ],
      ),

And a better visual solution in my opinion is to use a Card instead of Container,

return new Card(
      child: new Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          new Column (children: <Widget>[
            new Container (child: new Text(date), color: Colors.yellow[200],),
            new Container(height: 15.0,),
            new Text(content),
            new Row(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
              children: <Widget>[
                new IconButton(icon: trailingIconOne, onPressed: () {}),
                new Container(width: 10.0,),
                new IconButton(icon: trailingIconTwo, onPressed: () {}),
          ], ),

            //  new Divider(height: 15.0,color: Colors.red,),
            ],
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
