Sticky headers not working with NestedScrollView

[danallen88]

I took the first sample from Flutter's documentation on this page:

https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/NestedScrollView-class.html#widgets.NestedScrollView.1

and wrapped the SliverFixedExtentList in a SliverStickyHeader element and the headers are not sticking to the top of the list. I've tried this in a variety of places but can't seem to make a sticky header work using this library or even the original which used RenderObjects. Any thoughts as to why this might be?

Here's the full code as an example:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_sticky_header/flutter_sticky_header.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  static const String _title = 'Flutter Code Sample';

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      title: _title,
      home: MyStatelessWidget(),
    );
  }
}

class MyStatelessWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyStatelessWidget({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final List<String> _tabs = <String>['Tab 1', 'Tab 2'];
    return DefaultTabController(
      length: _tabs.length, // This is the number of tabs.
      child: Scaffold(
        body: NestedScrollView(
          headerSliverBuilder: (BuildContext context, bool innerBoxIsScrolled) {
            // These are the slivers that show up in the "outer" scroll view.
            return <Widget>[
              SliverOverlapAbsorber(
                // This widget takes the overlapping behavior of the SliverAppBar,
                // and redirects it to the SliverOverlapInjector below. If it is
                // missing, then it is possible for the nested "inner" scroll view
                // below to end up under the SliverAppBar even when the inner
                // scroll view thinks it has not been scrolled.
                // This is not necessary if the "headerSliverBuilder" only builds
                // widgets that do not overlap the next sliver.
                handle:
                    NestedScrollView.sliverOverlapAbsorberHandleFor(context),
                sliver: SliverAppBar(
                  title:
                      const Text('Books'), // This is the title in the app bar.
                  pinned: true,
                  expandedHeight: 150.0,
                  // The "forceElevated" property causes the SliverAppBar to show
                  // a shadow. The "innerBoxIsScrolled" parameter is true when the
                  // inner scroll view is scrolled beyond its "zero" point, i.e.
                  // when it appears to be scrolled below the SliverAppBar.
                  // Without this, there are cases where the shadow would appear
                  // or not appear inappropriately, because the SliverAppBar is
                  // not actually aware of the precise position of the inner
                  // scroll views.
                  forceElevated: innerBoxIsScrolled,
                  bottom: TabBar(
                    // These are the widgets to put in each tab in the tab bar.
                    tabs: _tabs.map((String name) => Tab(text: name)).toList(),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ];
          },
          body: TabBarView(
            // These are the contents of the tab views, below the tabs.
            children: _tabs.map((String name) {
              return SafeArea(
                top: false,
                bottom: false,
                child: Builder(
                  // This Builder is needed to provide a BuildContext that is
                  // "inside" the NestedScrollView, so that
                  // sliverOverlapAbsorberHandleFor() can find the
                  // NestedScrollView.
                  builder: (BuildContext context) {
                    return CustomScrollView(
                      // The "controller" and "primary" members should be left
                      // unset, so that the NestedScrollView can control this
                      // inner scroll view.
                      // If the "controller" property is set, then this scroll
                      // view will not be associated with the NestedScrollView.
                      // The PageStorageKey should be unique to this ScrollView;
                      // it allows the list to remember its scroll position when
                      // the tab view is not on the screen.
                      key: PageStorageKey<String>(name),
                      slivers: <Widget>[
                        SliverOverlapInjector(
                          // This is the flip side of the SliverOverlapAbsorber
