I can align the hint text to the center with no issues, but when the user starts typing into the textbox, I can't seem to get it to align to the center.
When maxLines are set to 1, there isn't an issue, but when it is set to more than 1 (or to null in my case), then it seems to align to the top by default.

Is there any way to correct this?

You need to delete \n\n expression in front of the hint text value because \n provides us to switch to a new line.
In your case, you switch the line you in two times. That is why the hint text is not appearing where you type.
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: 'Type away ! :', <--- here
hintStyle: TextStyle(
color: fontColour,
fontFamily: 'Michroma',
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
fontSize: 12),
When you remove that expression, probably it will not be in the center. so you can center it by doing following;
child: TextField(
controller: postTextController,
keyboardType: TextInputType.multiline,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
maxLines: null,
expands: true,
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
style: TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'Michroma',
fontSize: 12),
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: 'Type away ! :',
hintStyle: TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'Michroma',
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
fontSize: 12),

I have implemented a text form field with validation, and it returns the error message but it gets displayed inside the text form field. Is there a way to show it outside the text form field?
Container(
alignment: Alignment.center,
margin: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(
horizontal: 20),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.1),
borderRadius: const BorderRadius.all(
Radius.circular(10))),
child: TextFormField(
autovalidateMode:
AutovalidateMode.onUserInteraction,
controller: _controller,
validator: validatePhone,
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
style: const TextStyle(
color: primaryText,
fontFamily: 'InterMedium',
fontSize: 15),
decoration: const InputDecoration(
counterText: '',
errorStyle: TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'InterMedium',
),
prefixIcon: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(
left: 20, right: 15),
child: Icon(
Icons.phone_android_rounded,
color: secondaryText,
),
),
hintText: 'Enter mobile number',
hintStyle: TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'InterMedium',
color: secondaryText,
),
border: InputBorder.none,
),
cursorColor: secondaryColor,
maxLines: 1,
maxLength: 10,
keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
textInputAction: TextInputAction.done,
),
),
How it is now -
How I want it to look like -
Remove parent widget Container and add decoration property of TextFormField like below example !
TextFormField(
autovalidateMode: AutovalidateMode.onUserInteraction,
cursorColor: Colors.black,
validator: validator,
controller: controller,
keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 16, color: Colors.black, fontFamily: 'Helvetica', fontWeight: FontWeight.normal),
decoration: InputDecoration(
enabledBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: Color(0xff13367A)),
),
focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: Color(0xff13367A)),
),
border: UnderlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: Color(0xff13367A)),
),
hintText: hint)),
),
P.S :- If you want to add grey color in your TextFormField then you may use decoration: InputDecoration(fillColor: Colors.grey, filled: true) !
TextFormField has a hintText and a HelperText , but i can seem to find a way to align the helperText in center , this is my code :
child: Container(
child: TextFormField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 21),
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: "hint text",
focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: primaryColor)),
helperText: "THIS IS THE HELPER TEXT TO BE ALIGNED ",
helperStyle:
TextStyle(color: oASDC, fontSize: 15),
),
onChanged: (value) {
setState(() {.......});
},
),
),
is there a way to align the helper text in center?
You try this way:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/7LFJc.png
return TextFormField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 21),
decoration: InputDecoration(
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 50, right: 50),
hintText: "hint text",
focusedBorder:
UnderlineInputBorder(borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.green)),
helperText: "THIS IS THE HELPER TEXT TO BE ALIGNED ",
helperStyle: TextStyle(
color: Colors.blue,
fontSize: 15,
),
),
);
From what I understand the position of the helperText is like the position of the errorText,
issue 1
issue 2
according to these issues, there seems to be no solution to this.
However, if you only need text , you can easily add Text widget below the TextFormField
like so:
Container(
child: Column(
children: [
TextFormField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 21),
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: "hint text",
focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(borderSide: BorderSide(color: primaryColor),),
// helperText: "THIS IS THE HELPER TEXT TO BE ALIGNED ",
helperStyle: TextStyle(color: oASDC, fontSize: 15),
),
onChanged: (value) {
// setState(() {.......});
},
),
Text(
'THIS IS THE HELPER TEXT TO BE ALIGNED',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
],
),
),
As far as I know, there is nothing conventional to align the helpertext.
Use contentPadding instead, not a proper way, but it's a day saver!
Container(
child: TextFormField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 21),
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: "hint text",
focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.yellow)),
helperText: "THIS IS THE HELPER TEXT TO BE ALIGNED ",
helperStyle: TextStyle(
color: Colors.red,
fontSize: 15,
),
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 25)),
onChanged: (value) {
print(value);
},
),
),
I have given the textfield a custom height with a container around it. The icons are stlii in the middle but the text is not in the center of the textfield. Do somebody know a way to fix this problem?
Container(
height: 45,
child: TextFormField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
filled: true,
fillColor: Colors.grey[100],
border: OutlineInputBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(20),
borderSide: BorderSide(
width: 0,
style: BorderStyle.none,
),
),
hintText: 'Hint Text',
),
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 18,
),
),
),
For horizontally centered hint text: The hint text aligns according to the TextFormField's textAlign, so adding textAlign: TextAlign.center to the TextFormField will center the hint text horizontally.
For vertically centered hint text: Add a contentPadding, e.g., contentPadding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 2) to the TextField.
Container(
height: 45,
child: TextFormField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center, // this is new
decoration: InputDecoration(
filled: true,
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 2), // this is new
fillColor: Colors.grey[100],
border: OutlineInputBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(20),
borderSide: BorderSide(
width: 0,
style: BorderStyle.none,
),
),
hintText: 'Hint Text',
),
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 18,
),
),
),
As said in the title; my text "disappears" when I added text too much against the length of the textfield, why does this happens??
Here's the code
Container(
height: mediaSize.height * .075,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius:
BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(12.5)),
boxShadow: <BoxShadow>[
BoxShadow(
color: Colors.black54.withOpacity(0.45),
spreadRadius: 1,
blurRadius: 4,
offset: Offset(3.5, 4))
]),
child: TextFormField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
focusedBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide:
BorderSide(color: myLightOrangeColor),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(
Radius.circular(12.5))),
enabledBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(
color: myLightOrangeColor, width: 6),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(
Radius.circular(12.5))),
labelStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontSize: 15, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
filled: true,
fillColor: Colors.white),
keyboardType: TextInputType.text,
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontSize: 15, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
),
),
When I add to much of text this happens: [first one ok] [next one ???]
For the text of the TextField to appear normally it needs his normal height, in the image below an image without giving height to the Container:
But if you give it less height than it need to show the text this happen (in the example the height of the device multiplied by 0.075):
To reduce the height of the TextField you can change the property contentPadding or set the isDense to true:
TextFormField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
isDense: true,
//contentPadding: EdgeInsets.all(0), //or any padding you want
),
keyboardType: TextInputType.text,
style: TextStyle(
color: Colors.black,
fontSize: 15,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
),
),
How do I center the value of the textfield (flutter). So that it always stays in the center no matter how big the word is? And also how do i remove the underline bar?
new Container(
alignment: Alignment(0.00 , 0.50),
child: new TextField(
style: new TextStyle(
fontSize: 40.0,
height: 2.0,
color: Colors.white
)
)
#Anton, have you tried textAlign: TextAlign.centerto center the text and decoration below to remove underline bar?
TextField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: new TextStyle(
fontSize: 22.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
decoration: new InputDecoration.collapsed(
hintText: "Name",
)
)
Screenshot:
Border can be removed by using inputBorder.none. TextAlign.center is used to set the text center but you have to use the inputDecoration.collapsed instead of inputDecoration.
TextFormField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
decoration: InputDecoration.collapsed(
hintText: "Enter Your Name",
border: InputBorder.none
)
),
You can use the decoration and the textAlign properties, try the next code:
TextField(
....
decoration: InputDecoration(
enabledBorder: const OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: const BorderSide(color: Colors.white),
),
focusedBorder: const OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: const BorderSide(color: Colors.white),
),
),
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
);
