flutter - How to overlap SliverList on a SliverAppBar

Question

I'm trying to overlap a SliverList a few pixels over the SliverAppBar. Similar to this post. I'd like the image in the FlexibleSpaceBar to go under the radius of my SliverList. I'm attempting to achieve the below.

I can only get the radius like so. Without the ability to overlap the SliverList onto he SliverAppBar.

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: CustomScrollView(
        slivers: <Widget>[
          SliverAppBar(
            floating: false,
            expandedHeight: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.50,
            flexibleSpace: FlexibleSpaceBar(
              background: Image.network(pet.photos.first)
            ),
          ),
          SliverList(
            delegate: SliverChildListDelegate([
              Container(
                height: 40,
                decoration: BoxDecoration(
                  color: Colors.red,
                  borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
                    topLeft: Radius.circular(30),
                    topRight: Radius.circular(30),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ]),
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }

Any direction would be appreciated, thanks!

You can use the following widget which uses Stack and scroll listeners to achieve something like the screenshots. It's based on https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/sliver_fab.

The widget:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class DetailScaffold extends StatefulWidget {
  final ScrollController controller;
  final ScrollPhysics physics;
  final List<Widget> slivers;

  final double expandedHeight;

  /// Changes edge behavior to account for [SliverAppBar.pinned].
  ///
  /// Hides the edge when the [ScrollController.offset] reaches the collapsed
  /// height of the [SliverAppBar] to prevent it from overlapping the app bar.
  final bool hasPinnedAppBar;

  DetailScaffold({
    @required this.expandedHeight,
    this.controller,
    this.physics,
    this.slivers,
    this.hasPinnedAppBar = false,
  }) {
    assert(expandedHeight != null);
    assert(hasPinnedAppBar != null);
  }

  @override
  _DetailScaffoldState createState() => _DetailScaffoldState();
}

class _DetailScaffoldState extends State<DetailScaffold> {
  ScrollController ctrl;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    ctrl = widget.controller ?? ScrollController();
    ctrl.addListener(() => setState(() {}));
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    if (widget.controller == null) {
      ctrl.dispose();
    }

    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Stack(
      children: <Widget>[
        CustomScrollView(
          controller: ctrl,
          physics: widget.physics,
          slivers: widget.slivers,
        ),
        _buildEdge(),
      ],
    );
  }

  _buildEdge() {
    var edgeHeight = 12.0;
    var paddingTop = MediaQuery.of(context).padding.top;

    var defaultOffset =
        (paddingTop + widget.expandedHeight) - edgeHeight;

    var top = defaultOffset;
    var edgeSize = edgeHeight;

    if (ctrl.hasClients) {
      double offset = ctrl.offset;
      top -= offset > 0 ? offset : 0;

      if (widget.hasPinnedAppBar) {
        // Hide edge to prevent overlapping the toolbar during scroll.
        var breakpoint =
            widget.expandedHeight - kToolbarHeight - edgeHeight;

        if (offset >= breakpoint) {
          edgeSize = edgeHeight - (offset - breakpoint);
          if (edgeSize < 0) {
            edgeSize = 0;
          }

          top += (edgeHeight - edgeSize);
        }
      }
    }

    return Positioned(
      top: top,
      left: 0,
      right: 0,
      child: Container(
        height: edgeSize,
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
          color: Theme.of(context).canvasColor,
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.vertical(
            top: Radius.circular(12),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Using it:

class Home extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    var expandedHeight = 128.0;

    return DetailScaffold(
      expandedHeight: expandedHeight,
      slivers: <Widget>[
        SliverAppBar(
          expandedHeight: expandedHeight,
          flexibleSpace: FlexibleSpaceBar(
            background: Container(color: Colors.purple),
          ),
        ),
        SliverList(
          delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate((_, i) {
            return ListTile(title: Text('Item $i'));
          }, childCount: 50),
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}
