Inkwell not showing ripple when used with Container decoration

I found the solution:

I need one Material for Inkwell, and one Material for elevation and rounded borders. The inner Material has a type of MaterialType.transparency so that it doesn't draw anything over the box decoration of its parent and still preserve the ink effect. The shadow and borders are controlled by outer Material.

Container(
      margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 8.0, horizontal: 16.0),
      child: Material(  // <----------------------------- Outer Material
        shadowColor: Colors.grey[50],
        shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(4.0)),
        elevation: 6.0,
        child: Container(
          decoration: BoxDecoration(
            gradient: LinearGradient(
              begin: AlignmentDirectional.bottomStart,
              end: AlignmentDirectional.topEnd,
              colors: [
                AppColors.pinkDark,
                AppColors.pink,
              ],
            ),
          ),
          child: Material(  // <------------------------- Inner Material
            type: MaterialType.transparency,
            elevation: 6.0,
            color: Colors.transparent,
            shadowColor: Colors.grey[50],
            child: InkWell(  //<------------------------- InkWell
              splashColor: Colors.white30,
              onTap: () {},
              child: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                child: Row(
                  children: <Widget>[
                    Icon(
                      Icons.work,
                      size: 40.0,
                      color: Colors.white,
                    ),
                    SizedBox(
                      width: 20.0,
                    ),
                    Column(
                      children: <Widget>[
                        Text(
                          widget.title,
                          style: TextStyle(
                            fontSize: 20.0,
                            color: Colors.white,
                          ),
                        ),
                      ],
                    )
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );

Update in 2019:

You should use Ink widget inside Material, instead of Container. It takes decoration parameter as well:

Material(
      child: Ink(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
          // ...
        ),
        child: InkWell(
          onTap: () {},
          child: child, // other widget
        ),
      ),
);
