Height adjustment of an Image in a row inside a Card - flutter

my idea is to create a card widget that has an image on the left and corresponding text data on the right side. The picture should always take the full height and 1/3 of the width (I used expanded with flex to get this. Not sure if this is the best way). The image should be placed in a stack in order to stack further widgets.
My problem is that I am not able to place the image in the stack without specifying a fixed height. I tried Positoned.fill but this did not work for me.
This is my code so far for the card:
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Card(
elevation: 5,
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15.0),
),
child: Row(
children: [
Expanded(
child: Stack(
children: [
Container(
// child: Positioned.fill(
// child: ClipRRect(
// borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15.0),
// child: Image(
// image: AssetImage("assets/eyes.jpg"),
// fit: BoxFit.cover,
// ),
// ),
// ),
),
],
),
),
Expanded(
flex: 2,
child: Container(
color: Colors.grey,
child: Padding(
padding:
const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 15.0, vertical: 10),
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
Text("This is a test"),
SizedBox(height: 10),
Text("This is a test test"),
SizedBox(height: 10),
Text("This is a test test test"),
SizedBox(height: 10),
Text("This is a test test"),
SizedBox(height: 10),
Text("This is a test"),
],
),
),
),
),
],
),
);
}
Here is a picture of the current state. The image should take up the entire white area on the left side of the card.

Instead of adding a child image widget inside your container, you can add a decoration image to the container itself. Here's how you do it:
Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
image: DecorationImage(
fit: BoxFit.cover,
image: AssetImage("url"),
),
),
),

Ripple does not cover text

I figured I can draw ripple over an image by enclosing the image in Ink(decoration: BoxDecoration(image: ...)), but how can I do the same for Text?
This is supposed to be a card with an image on top and a title and some other information at the bottom:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final theme = Theme.of(context);
final post = _postModel.post;
return Material(
color: theme.colorScheme.background,
child: InkWell(
onTap: () {},
splashColor: Colors.red,
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10, vertical: 5),
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
if (post.imageUri != null)
// This image IS covered by the ripple (what I need)
AspectRatio(
aspectRatio: 5 / 3,
child: Ink(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(3),
image: DecorationImage(
image: NetworkImage('https://picsum.photos/700'),
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
),
),
// This must be underneath the ripple, but isn't.
Text(post.title, style: theme.textTheme.headline5),
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 0, vertical: 5),
color: Colors.transparent,
height: 60,
child: Row(
children: <Widget>[
// This is also covered by the ripple
Ink(
height: 35,
width: 35,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(3),
image: DecorationImage(
fit: BoxFit.cover,
image: NetworkImage('https://picsum.photos/100'),
),
),
),
SizedBox(width: 5),
// This must be underneath the ripple but isn't
Ink(
// decoration: Decoration,
child: Text(
post.author,
style: theme.textTheme.caption,
),
),
Spacer(),
],
),
),
],
),
),
),
);
}
When I press, the ripple covers both images as expected, however, I can't figure out how to make the ripple cover the text widgets as well. I tried wrapping the text in an Ink widget (the last one), but it doesn't work - the text is still displayed over the ripple.
Unpressed:
Pressed (the text is visible):

How to make a container take up the height of the parent widget?

I have a card layout which looks like the following:
The code for it it as follows:
Card(
color: tap ? Colors.green : Colors.white,
margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 5.0, vertical: 3.0),
child: Container(
child: Row(
children: [
**Container(
height: !widget.menuItem.image.endsWith('/')? 70.0 : 0.0,
width: !widget.menuItem.image.endsWith('/')? 70.0 : 0.0,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(topLeft: Radius.circular(5.0), topRight: Radius.circular(5.0)),
image: DecorationImage(
image: NetworkImage(widget.menuItem.image),
fit: BoxFit.cover
),
),**
),
SizedBox(
width: 8.0,
),
Expanded(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
Row(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.baseline,
textBaseline: TextBaseline.alphabetic,
children: [
Text(
howManyThere() > 0 ? "${howManyThere()} x " : '',
style: addBTNHighlight,
),
Expanded(
child: Text(
widget.menuItem.item_name,
overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
style: tap ? TitleWhite18Bold : Title18bold,
),
),
],
),
Container(
child: Text(
widget.menuItem.description,
//overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
style: tap ? SubTitleWhite13 : SubTitle13,
),
),
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 4.0),
child: Text(
"£" + num.parse(widget.menuItem.price).toStringAsFixed(2),
style: tap ? priceHighlightSelected : priceHighlight,
),
),
],
),
),
Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 30.0, vertical: 6.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(),
child: Text("ADD", style: tap ? priceHighlightWhite : addBTNHighlight)),
],
),
],
),
),
)
As you can see that I am almost there with my desired layout but with one small issue which can be seen in first and last item. Because of the given width and height of the image container, it leaves a gap on top and bottom.
What I would like to happen is that the width to stay the same but the height to be flexible and adjust with the height of the card itself. Is it possible?
When I remove the height attribute of the container with the image, I get a blank space of the image
UPDATE: I tried LayoutBuilder as well but without any Luck, it throws 'Incorrect use of ParentWidget' Exception. The code I used is as follows:
Row(
children: [
widget.menuItem.image.endsWith('/')
? Container()
: **LayoutBuilder(
builder: (context, constraints){
return Container(
width: 70.0,
height: constraints.minHeight,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(5.0)),
image: DecorationImage(
image: NetworkImage(widget.menuItem.image),
fit: BoxFit.cover
),
),
);
}**
),
Try this :
Column(
children: [
Expanded(
child: Container(
width: !widget.menuItem.image.endsWith('/')? 70.0 : 0.0,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(topLeft: Radius.circular(5.0), topRight: Radius.circular(5.0)),
image: DecorationImage(
image: NetworkImage(widget.menuItem.image),
fit: BoxFit.cover
),
),
),
),
],
),
The problem here is your description text which overflow your desired max height. You can try to constraint your Container with a height: 70.0 or you can add to your Text widget the property maxLines: 1.
LayoutBuilder only give you constraints that parent pass to child, which is something like 100 < width < 200, 300 < height < infinity. At this point the height of all texts on the right are not determined yet, so it is impossible to determined the height of image base on that.
One way to do this is to assign key to each list item, get item heights after everything is layout, the rebuild with those fixed height. This will become a two pass process and is less efficient.
The official solution to this is IntrinsicHeight, which conceptually do the same thing, but in a more optimized way.
Here is a minimum example:
import 'dart:math';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(
MaterialApp(
home: App(),
),
);
}
class App extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: ListView.builder(
itemCount: 10,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return Card(
clipBehavior: Clip.antiAliasWithSaveLayer,
// This is where magic happened
child: IntrinsicHeight(
child: Row(
children: [
Container(
width: 100,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
image: DecorationImage(
image: NetworkImage('https://cataas.com/cat'),
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
),
Expanded(
child: Text(
// just put some random text with dynamic height
'Text\n' * (Random().nextInt(4) + 4),
),
),
],
),
),
);
},
),
);
}
}
Remove height constraints, then
Try replacing fit: BoxFit.cover with BoxFit.fitHeight or BoxFit.fill.
In order to fill the image with card height you can give container required height and wrap the Image widget in AspectRatio widget with ratio 1. This will always helps image widget to fill parent card height. Have a look in below code.
Parent Widget
Container(
margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 12),
height: 100,
child: Row(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
AspectRatio(
aspectRatio: 1,
child: _pictureWidget(widget.menuItem.image),
),
/// Replace `Container` with the needed widget
Expanded(child: Container()),
],
),
)
_pictureWidget
Widget _picture(String url) {
return _pictureWidget(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
topLeft: Radius.circular(5.0), topRight: Radius.circular(5.0)),
child: Image.network(
url != null ? url : "",
fit: BoxFit.cover,
loadingBuilder: (BuildContext context, Widget child,
ImageChunkEvent loadingProgress) {
if (loadingProgress == null) return child;
return Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(
value: loadingProgress.expectedTotalBytes != null
? loadingProgress.cumulativeBytesLoaded /
loadingProgress.expectedTotalBytes
: null,
),
);
},
),
);
}

Widget which adjusts to the children size?

Is there a widget in Flutter which adjusts itself on the content of it's children which are in Rows and Columns?
I can't seem to find anything related, and I am constantly hit with infinite overflows errors.....
As an example, lets say I would have 3 Widgets in a Row, 1 of which is a text, which I cannot guess how long it will be, but I need to expand the parent as much as the widget needs and at the sametime wrap the text
I would have something like:
Row(
children: [
Expanded(child: Widget1(....)),
Expended(child: Text(.....)),
Expanded(child: Widget2(....))
]
)
Right?
I would want the parent of the row to expand as much as it needs for the children to be shown, I want to align Widget1 and Widget2 in different ways (1-center, 2-bottom).
If I put them in Column I can center Widget1, but I cannot put Widget2 at the bottom because if I put Column to max size it overflows, if I don't it doesn't align...
How would you do it?
I really don't understand the logic behind the inifnite layout thing....
For example, here is where I am stuck at the moment.
return Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: <Widget>[
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
boxShadow: [
BoxShadow(
color: Global.findCategory(event.categId).color.withAlpha(150),
blurRadius: 20,
spreadRadius: -20,
offset: Offset(0, 5)
)
],
color: Colors.white,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(30)
),
child: Row(
children: <Widget>[
Align(
alignment: Alignment.center,
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
child: Container(
width: Global.scaleSmallDevice(context) * 64,
height: Global.scaleSmallDevice(context) * 64,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
shape: BoxShape.rectangle,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10),
image: DecorationImage(
fit: BoxFit.cover,
image: event.image
)
)
),
)
,
),
Flexible(
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: <Widget>[
CustomText(
text: title,
color: Global.findCategory(event.categId).color,
fontSize: 16,
),
Flexible(
child: CustomText(
text: shortInfo,
color: Global.findCategory(event.categId).color,
fontSize: 12,
),
)
],
),
),
Stack(
alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
children: <Widget>[
Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
child: StatefulBuilder(
builder: (context, setState) {
IconData buttonIcon = (event.favorite) ? Icons.favorite : Icons.favorite_border;
return SplashButton(
splashColor: Global.findCategory(event.categId).color,
child: Icon(buttonIcon, color: Global.findCategory(event.categId).color, size: 30),
onTap: () async {
await event.setFavorite(context);
setState(() {
buttonIcon = (event.favorite) ? Icons.favorite : Icons.favorite_border;
});
}
);
},
),
),
],
),
),
],
);
}
In this case I want the StatefulBuilder widget to be on the bottom and the entire container be as small as the column with the CustomText widgets.
The widget with image inside I want it to be centered, while the text to be fully available to the user.
If I don't add a Column as Container, it goes as the height allows it and the StatefulBuilder widget center itself at the bottom, in the curent code it's at the center.....
Sorry if I'm not coherent, it's a bit late and I am tired after coding all day and stuck at this widget for a few hours.

Make container grow to fit width of sibling in column

I have two Container widgets in a Column, each containing a Text widget. I want the Container with the shortest text to expand to match the width of the other container containing the longer text. The container with the longer text should wrap the Text widget and its padding.
I can't get it to work without resorting to fixed widths on the containers:
return Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: [
// This container has a shorter text than its sibling, so it should expand
// its width to match its sibling/parent
Container(
alignment: Alignment.center,
width: 50, // I don't want this fixed width
decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.orange, borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(topLeft: Radius.circular(4), topRight: Radius.circular(4))),
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(8,4,8,4),
child: Text('short'),
)
),
// This container has a longer text, so it should decide the width of the
// other container (and of the parent Column)
Container(
alignment: Alignment.center,
width: 50, // I don't want this fixed width
decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.orange, borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(bottomLeft: Radius.circular(4), bottomRight: Radius.circular(4))),
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(8,4,8,4),
child: Text('long text here'),
)
),
]
);
I've tried a couple of ways to solve it involving Expanded and Flexible, but they all result in the "red screen of death" (or at least "annoyance").
EDIT
Just to be clear - I want the Column to just wrap its content, i.e. adjust its width to the width of the containers. In summary - everything should be as narrow as possible, except for the container with the shortest text, which should instead be as wide as its sibling (the container with the longer text).
I saw your Fiddle on a comment. And what you need is IntrinsicWidth.
IntrinsicWidth(
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: [
// This container has a shorter text than its sibling, so it should expand
// its width to match its sibling/parent
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 1.0),
child: Container(
color: Colors.orange,
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(8, 4, 8, 4),
child: Text(
'short',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
),
),
),
// This container has a longer text, so it should decide the width of the
// other container (and of the parent Column)
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 1.0),
child: Container(
color: Colors.orange,
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(8, 4, 8, 4),
child: Text(
'long text here',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
),
),
),
],
),
),
You can use something like this to take the entire width of the Widget (make sure to be inside a MaterialApp and a Scaffold/Material child (home):
Wrap(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
color: Colors.red,
child: IntrinsicWidth(
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: <Widget>[
Container(
color: Colors.black,
height: 200,
child: Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomRight,
child: Text(
"Hello World",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
),
),
),
Container(
color: Colors.blue,
height: 100,
child: Align(
alignment: Alignment.topRight,
child: Text(
"Bottom Text Longer Text",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
),
),
),
],
),
),
),
],
)
The Align is not necessary, is just to showcase how the width actually works with "double.infinity" and moving a text to the bottom right or top right portion of it.

Color bottom of Card in flutter

I'm building a layout with a GridView and Cards. I want to put a color to the bottom of each card. I found this question Fill an area with color in Flutter and tried to do the same trick for bottom, but each time The SizedBox Overflows the round card corners. Any idea of how to fix this?
The sample code below shows the issue. I try to color the bottom part of the card, and when I do this, the corners of the card are lost, like overflow from the Container.
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.lightBlue,
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(widget.title),
),
body: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
Card(
margin: EdgeInsets.all(20),
elevation: 10,
child: SizedBox(
height: 100,
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
Text("line1"),
Text(
"line2",
),
Expanded(
child: Container(
/*color: Colors.orange,*/ child: Text("Bottom"),
)),
],
),
),
),
Expanded(
child: Container(),
)
],
),
);
}
Try using BoxDecoration in your Container and use the same radius as your Card (4.0)
Expanded(
child: Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.orange,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
bottomLeft: Radius.circular(4.0),
bottomRight: Radius.circular(4.0))),
child: Text("Bottom"),
),
),
