If you put ListView somewhere inside Scaffold having no appBar, ListView has top padding. There is no padding if appBar is present. There is no padding if you specify EdgeInsets.zero padding for ListView explicitly. See following code snipped for example
...
return new MaterialApp(
home: new Scaffold(
// appBar: new AppBar(
// title: new Text("test"),
// ),
body: new Column(
children: <Widget>[
new Container(
child: new Center(
child: new Text("some top widget")
),
decoration: new BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.red,
),
height: 100.0,
),
new Expanded(
child: new ListView(
children: items,
// padding: EdgeInsets.zero, // explicit padding as a workaround
),
),
],
),
),
);
