I am still new to coding, I have created multiple textbutton.icon's but they overflow. How do i stop the overflow. Even if i put is in a row or column it still overflows. I also would like to put more spacing between each row of buttons but that just makes it overflow more. Here is the multiple class code:
class home_buttons {
List<Widget> jeffButtons = [
Button1(),
Button2(),
Button3(),
Button4(),
Button5(),
Button6(),
Button7(),
Button8(),
Button9(),
];
}
Here is the button code:
class Button1 extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0.0, 9.0, 0.0, 0.0),
child: TextButton.icon(
onPressed: () => {},
icon: Column(
children: [
Icon(
Icons.search,
color: Colors.white,
size: 75,
),
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
child: Text(
'Contact Us',
style: TextStyle(
color: Colors.white,
),
),
),
],
),
label: Text(
'', //'Label',
style: TextStyle(
color: Colors.white,
),
),
),
);
}
}
You can wrap your widgets with the SingleChildScrollView to enable scrolling.
Or if you want to fit the screen inside a Column or Row Widget you can wrap individual widgets with a Flexible Widget
Flutter listview normally have undefined height. The total height of listview is defined based on the items in the list. So when you declare listview directly you get overflow issue.
So as a solution you need to specify the height for the outer container, or use sizedbox to define the height.
Specifying height will solve your issue of overflow. To provide space between buttons you can also wrap that in a container and use the benefit of margin or padding to handle it efficiently.
Please find this code snippet to use Media to find height of device
Container(
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
color: Colors.white,
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
children: [
Here instead of SingleChildScrollView You can use listview or listbuilder which will solve your overflow issue
Hope this helps. Let me know If you want more details. Thanks

In the screen, I have a Column, it has a cusotm made widget of specific height. Then, I have Expanded, in which I have a TabBar which has three tabs.
In one of those tabs, I want to show a list. First, I have a padding, which contains column. The column has some text, which should remain at top and the list should be shown in the space which is remaining. I am using Expanded for that, but it is not working.
I can't use ListView directly, and also can't use expanded. It is only working when I am giving it a container of fix size. Now, in different screens, it will look different. So, I want to take all of the remaining space and build the list there. Code for reference -
Here is the doubts screen, which is one of the tabs of main screen -

The red area that you are seeing is the one. I want it to occupy whole area available in the phone screen, so I can show list in it which should be scrollable. In this case, it is occupying all, but in different screens, it might not. So, please give me some suggestions.
You can try to give the height of the container like
height: double.infinity
Or you can give the height of it with substracting the other height from the screen size like
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height - getProportionateScreenHeight(50) //the heigth size that you give the other widget that top of it
try to wrap your Padding widget with the Expanded widget,
Expanded widget in column will take the rest of the space of the screen.
also no need to give height to Container widget, so you can remove getProportionateScreenHeight(530) this one
I am learning flutter, and faced this issue:
I want the equal button to stretch to the left and cover the whole green area as shown in the picture.
The equal button is in one column and the other four buttons are in another column. And in turn, both of these columns are in a row. i.e
Column:
Row:
Column 1:
Equal-Button // If I warp it in expended, it goes out of sight.
Column 2:
the other four buttons
What is the proper way to fix it, not just hacks. How would you do it?
Here is the whole code:
Github Gist
You'll need to have it in its own column then use crossAxisAlignment.stretch. Just ensure it occupies a finite space
You can wrap the Elevated Button with Sized Box and give it a width of your choice,
than if you want to put the '=' string to the right instead of center you can just wrap the text with align and set alignemnt to your choice
SizedBox(
width: 300,
child: ElevatedButton(
style: ButtonStyle(
backgroundColor:
MaterialStateProperty.all(Colors.grey.shade600),
),
child: Align(
alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
child: Text(
"=",
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 26),
),
),
onPressed: () {},
),
)
Assuming both the = button and / button are in a Row widget you could wrap the = button in a Expanded widget forcing it to take all available space along it MainAxis.
Here's a quick example:
class Sample extends StatelessWidget {
const Sample({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Row(
children: [
Expanded(child: Container(color: Colors.red, height: 50)),
Container(
height: 50,
width: 100,
color: Colors.green,
margin: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10),
)
],
);
}
}
I have the following dial located at the center of my screen.
I have called three different part to construct this dial.
However it seems to be stuck in the center of my screen and I want to shift it to the top center portion. Ive tried changing the alignments but it doesn't seem to work.
This is my code:
This is the dependency I'm using: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_neumorphic
import 'package:flutter_neumorphic/flutter_neumorphic.dart';
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Stack(
children: <Widget>[
pedometerOuterDial(context),
pedometerInnerDial(context),
Center(child: stepText()),
],
);
}
Widget stepText() {
return Text(
'4800\nSteps',
style: khomeStyle.copyWith(color: kOrange),
);
}
Widget pedometerOuterDial(context) {
final percentage = 30.0;
return Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(80.0),
child: Align(
alignment: Alignment.topCenter,
child: Neumorphic(
boxShape: NeumorphicBoxShape.circle(),
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
style: NeumorphicStyle(
depth: NeumorphicTheme.embossDepth(context),
),
child: CustomPaint(
painter: NeuProgressPainter(
circleWidth: 20,
completedPercentage: percentage,
defaultCircleColor: Colors.transparent,
),
child: Center(),
),
),
),
);
}
Widget pedometerInnerDial(context) {
return Align(
child: Neumorphic(
boxShape: NeumorphicBoxShape.circle(),
padding: EdgeInsets.all(80),
style: NeumorphicStyle(
color: Colors.white,
depth: NeumorphicTheme.depth(context),
),
),
);
}
Also I haven't used Media Query here for any of the dials, so will that be an issue for displaying on other devices?
Since you are using a stack widget, the best way to do this is to use a positioned widget. You can place the widget on top by wrapping it with Positioned and setting the top property to 0.
Here is an example:
Positioned(
top:0,
child:YourWidget(),
),
Alignment won't work for the stack widget because it only aligns the items when there are extra space around it. Example: It works in a Column or Row since they occupy space and allow the widgets inside it to be placed and move around the occupied space.
I have a certain Text widget , when it overflows I have 3 options. Either fade ,visible, ellipsis or clip. But I don't want to choose between them . I want if a text has overflow then don't show the text.
Edit :
I'm working on a code clone to this design
Assuming that the textStyle is unknown.
How could I achieve that?
Code:
class SwipeNavigationBar extends StatefulWidget {
final Widget child;
SwipeNavigationBar({this.child});
#override
_SwipeNavigationBarState createState() => _SwipeNavigationBarState();
}
class _SwipeNavigationBarState extends State<SwipeNavigationBar> {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Consumer<Controller>(
builder: (_, _bloc, __) {
return SafeArea(
child: AnimatedContainer(
duration: Duration(seconds: 01),
color: Colors.white,
curve: Curves.easeIn,
height: !_bloc.x ? 50 : 200,
child: Row(
children: [
Column(
verticalDirection: VerticalDirection.up,
children: [
Expanded(child: Icon(Icons.dashboard)),
Expanded(
child: RotatedBox(
quarterTurns: -45,
child: Text(
'data',
softWrap: false,
style: TextStyle(
textBaseline: TextBaseline.alphabetic
),
),
),
),
],
)
],
),
),
);
},
);
}
}
To mimic the design you might want to look into using the Stack widget. However, to answer your question, you'd want to set softWrap to false.
Align(
alignment: Alignment.topLeft,
child: SizedBox(
width: 100,
child: Text(
'Some text we want to overflow',
softWrap: false,
),
),
)
softWrap is really the key here. Although, I added the Align and SizedBox widgets to allow this to be used anywhere, regardless of what parent widget you are using (since some widgets set tight constraints on their children and will override their children's size preference).
CodePen Example
Edit: 5/6/2020
With the release of Flutter v1.17 you now have access to a new Widget called NavigationRail which may help you with the design you're looking for.
Use ternary operator to check the length of the text that you are passing to the Text widget and based on that pass the text itself or an empty string.
String yourText;
int desiredLengthToShow = 10; //Change this according to you.
...
Text(
child: yourText.length > desiredLengthToShow ? "" : yourText,
);
I want to have a row of IconButtons, all next to each other, but there seems to be pretty big padding between the actual icon, and the IconButton limits. I've already set the padding on the button to 0.
This is my component, pretty straightforward:
class ActionButtons extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
color: Colors.lightBlue,
margin: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
IconButton(
icon: new Icon(ScanrIcons.reg),
alignment: Alignment.center,
padding: new EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
onPressed: () {},
),
IconButton(
icon: new Icon(Icons.volume_up),
alignment: Alignment.center,
padding: new EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
onPressed: () {},
)
],
),
);
}
}
I want to get rid of most of the light blue space, have my icons start earlier on the left, and closer to each other, but I can't find the way to resize the IconButton itself.
I'm almost sure this space is taken by the button itself, 'cause if I change their alignments to centerRight and centerLeft they look like this:
Making the actual icons smaller doesn't help either, the button is still big:
thanks for the help
Simply pass an empty BoxConstrains to the constraints property and a padding of zero.
IconButton(
padding: EdgeInsets.zero,
constraints: BoxConstraints(),
)
You have to pass the empty constrains because, by default, the IconButton widget assumes a minimum size of 48px.
Two ways to workaround this issue.
Still Use IconButton
Wrap the IconButton inside a Container which has a width.
For example:
Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
width: 30.0, // you can adjust the width as you need
child: IconButton(
),
),
Use GestureDetector instead of IconButton
You can also use GestureDetector instead of IconButton, recommended by Shyju Madathil.
GestureDetector( onTap: () {}, child: Icon(Icons.volume_up) )
It's not so much that there's a padding there. IconButton is a Material Design widget which follows the spec that tappable objects need to be at least 48px on each side. You can click into the IconButton implementation from any IDEs.
You can also semi-trivially take the icon_button.dart source-code and make your own IconButton that doesn't follow the Material Design specs since the whole file is just composing other widgets and is just 200 lines that are mostly comments.
Wrapping the IconButton in a container simply wont work, instead use ClipRRect and add a material Widget with an Inkwell, just make sure to give the ClipRRect widget enough border Radius 😉.
ClipRRect(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50),
child : Material(
child : InkWell(
child : Padding(
padding : const EdgeInsets.all(5),
child : Icon(
Icons.favorite_border,
),
),
onTap : () {},
),
),
)
Instead of removing a padding around an IconButton you could simply use an Icon and wrap it with a GestureDetector or InkWell as
GestureDetector(
ontap:(){}
child:Icon(...)
);
Incase you want the ripple/Ink splash effect as the IconButton provides on click wrap it with an InkWell
InkWell(
splashColor: Colors.red,
child:Icon(...)
ontap:(){}
)
though the Ink thrown on the Icon in second approach wont be so accurate as for the IconButton, you may need to do some custom implementation for that.
Here's a solution to get rid of any extra padding, using InkWell in place of IconButton:
Widget backButtonContainer = InkWell(
child: Container(
child: const Icon(
Icons.arrow_upward,
color: Colors.white,
size: 35.0,
),
),
onTap: () {
Navigator.of(_context).pop();
});
I was facing a similar issue trying to render an Icon at the location the user touches the screen. Unfortunately, the Icon class wraps your chosen icon in a SizedBox.
Reading a little of the Icon class source it turns out that each Icon can be treated as text:
Widget iconWidget = RichText(
overflow: TextOverflow.visible,
textDirection: textDirection,
text: TextSpan(
text: String.fromCharCode(icon.codePoint),
style: TextStyle(
inherit: false,
color: iconColor,
fontSize: iconSize,
fontFamily: icon.fontFamily,
package: icon.fontPackage,
),
),
);
So, for instance, if I want to render Icons.details to indicate where my user just pointed, without any margin, I can do something like this:
Widget _pointer = Text(
String.fromCharCode(Icons.details.codePoint),
style: TextStyle(
fontFamily: Icons.details.fontFamily,
package: Icons.details.fontPackage,
fontSize: 24.0,
color: Colors.black
),
);
Dart/Flutter source code is remarkably approachable, I highly recommend digging in a little!
A better solution is to use Transform.scale like this:
Transform.scale(
scale: 0.5, // set your value here
child: IconButton(icon: Icon(Icons.smartphone), onPressed: () {}),
)
You can use ListTile it gives you a default space between text and Icons that would fit your needs
ListTile(
leading: Icon(Icons.add), //Here Is The Icon You Want To Use
title: Text('GFG title',textScaleFactor: 1.5,), //Here Is The Text Also
trailing: Icon(Icons.done),
),
I like the following way:
InkWell(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50),
onTap: () {},
child: Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
child: const Icon(Icons.favorite, color: Colors.red),
),
),
enter image description here
To show splash effect (ripple), use InkResponse:
InkResponse(
Icon(Icons.volume_up),
onTap: ...,
)
If needed, change icons size or add padding:
InkResponse(
child: Padding(
padding: ...,
child: Icon(Icons.volume_up, size: ...),
),
onTap: ...,
)
