Overflowed container with WebView on flutter - flutter

How to fix the bottom overflowed by WebView into a Container()? The _getDescription method is into a Column Widget and Expanded Widget but the it is overflowed the container().
The _getDescription method is returning a WebView instance from HtmlWidget plugin. My code:
Widget _getBody(tittle, date, description, origin, context) {
return new Container(
margin: new EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
child: Expanded(
child: new Column(
children: <Widget>[
_getTittle(tittle),
_getDate(date, origin),
_getDescription(description),
_getImageGallery(),
],
),
),
);
}
_getDescription(description) {
return new Container(
margin: new EdgeInsets.only(top: 20.0, bottom: 4.0),
child: HtmlWidget(
description,
textStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 15.5),
webView: true,
),
);
}
Result:

Try to use SingleChildScrollView(child: Column(...)) instead of Expanded()

There are multiple ways to solve this issue. You can use replace the Expanded widget with SingleChildScrollView. Another way is to use ListView.
Or, if you don't want to scroll the overflowed text, use overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis inside the Text widget on the _getDescription method

Flutter Expanded widget content won't scroll

When my Expanded widget has expanded there are 20 items, which cause a vertical overflow issue. How do I get the contents within Expanded widget to scroll? I've tried wrapping the content in a SinglechildScrollView but it still didn't allow scrolling.
Scaffold(
key: key,
appBar: customappbar,
body: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
ExpansionTile(
title: Text(
"${_getcurrentselection(context)}:",
style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 16),
),
children: <Widget>[
for (Map<String, dynamic> submenuitemdata in subMenuItems)
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(bottom:10.0),
child: SubmenuItem(submenuitem: submenuitemdata),
),
Expanded(
child: WebViewWidget(controller: controllerGlobal),
),
],
),
],
),
),
Try putting your widgets inside a ListView which should be inside the Expanded.
I couldn't find a suitable solution sa the Expanded widget below the ExpansionTile widget kept throwing errors no matter what I tried. Instead I placed both inside a Stack, so that the ExpansionTile expands over the top of any other widgets.
Also, minus 2 was a bit harsh

Flutter - Scaffold with Appbar and listview - breaking with Expanded

I have an issue with Scaffold. I have an AppBar with text and a button. The body hosts a ListView.builder. Inside the ListView is a container and a number of TextButton Widgets.
The Text part of the TextButton can be wide, and causes the warning bar to appear. So, I wrapped in an Expanded widget to wrap it.
This results in an error...
The following assertion was thrown during performLayout(): RenderFlex
children have non-zero flex but incoming width constraints are
unbounded.
When a row is in a parent that does not provide a finite width
constraint, for example if it is in a horizontal scrollable, it will
try to shrink-wrap its children along the horizontal axis. Setting a
flex on a child (e.g. using Expanded) indicates that the child is to
expand to fill the remaining space in the horizontal direction. These
two directives are mutually exclusive. If a parent is to shrink-wrap
its child, the child cannot simultaneously expand to fit its parent.
Consider setting mainAxisSize to MainAxisSize.min and using
FlexFit.loose fits for the flexible children (using Flexible rather
than Expanded). This will allow the flexible children to size
themselves to less than the infinite remaining space they would
otherwise be forced to take, and then will cause the RenderFlex to
shrink-wrap the children rather than expanding to fit the maximum
constraints provided by the parent.
and also the contents of my AppBar disappear, and I can no longer click the back arrow.
Here is the scaffold to build the page...
late StateSetter _setState;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return buildSubFormPage();
}
Widget buildSubPage() {
return StatefulBuilder(
builder: (bContext, StateSetter setBState) {
_setState = setBState;
return Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("My list of items"),
actions: [
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(
right: 20.0),
child: openSubFormItem(
widget.field, 0,
"+ Add new", null),
)
],
),
body: ListView.builder(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
//shrinkWrap: true,
itemCount: subFormItems.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return Container(
//width: screenWidth,
child: openSubFormItem(
widget.field, index, "Press Here",
subFormItems[index]),
);
},
)
);
}
);
}
Here is mostly the content of my openSubFormItem widget.
The building of the button text has been removed, but you can get the idea...
Widget openSubFormItem(PendigoFields field, int index, String buttonText, dynamic subFormItem) {
String outputText = "A long string of text, that will surely cause the warning bars if I can't make it wrap properly";
if (buttonText == "+ Add new") {
outputText = buttonText;
}
return Container(
//padding: EdgeInsets.all(4),
//width: screenWidth - 30,
child:
TextButton(
child: Row(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
//mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: [
// Flexible(
// fit : FlexFit.loose,
// child: Text(outputText, style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black,
// fontSize: 15.0,
// fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,),),
// ),
Expanded(child: Text(outputText, style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black,
fontSize: 15.0,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,),),
),
// Text(outputText, style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black,
// fontSize: 15.0,
// fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,),),
// I also have an IconButton here, removed for clarity
]
),
)
decoration: buttonText == "Press Here" ? BoxDecoration(
border: Border(
bottom: BorderSide(color: Colors.purple[400]!)),
)
: null
);
}
How do I get my AppBar to show the AppBar content (and button) and allow my ListView to be able to wrap the text if the text is too long?
As the error says: unbounded width, this is because the Row parent which is the TextButton does not have a specified width, and when using Expanded, the Row or the Column parent of it must know its constrains.
Give a width to the TextButton.
Also a note, don't create your widgets using methods as this is not recommend from flutter team, use separated widgets instead.

How do I stop overflow

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

How to display a screen which contains of an Icon on top half and ListView on bottom half?

I want to display a mock-up streaming screen like this:
Top half is the video player (showing the speaker), and bottom half is a ListView displaying participants/subscribers list.
Here's my code:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'common.dart';
class StreamingView extends StatelessWidget {
// Display a Participant item
Widget getParticipantView(Participant item) {
return Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
child: Column(
children: [
Align(
alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
child: Text(
item.name,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 14, color: Colors.black54),
),
),
Expanded(
child: CircleAvatar(backgroundColor: Colors.blue),
),
],
));
}
// Display the participants list on a ListView
Widget getParticipantsListView(List<Participant> participantsList){
//#override
// Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container (
//Expanded()
height: 40,
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: participantsList.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index){
return getParticipantView(participantsList[index]);
}
)
);
//}
}
#override
Widget build(context) {
List<Participant> theList = [
Participant(name: "Jack", description:"Away"),
Participant(name:"Paul", description:"Available"),
Participant(name:"Clive", description:"Available"),
Participant(name:"Frank", description:"Available")
];
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(),
body: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
children: [
Image.asset('assets/generic_portrait.jpg'),
Expanded(
flex: 1,
child: getParticipantsListView(theList)
),
],
)),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () async {
print("The button is clicked...");
},
child: Icon(Icons.video_call)));
}
}
I ran it, and the result is this:
The speaker can be seen, but the participants list isn't. Turns out there's an exception:

That refers to child: Column( inside Widget getParticipantView().
How to fix this?
you can use stack , the parent maybe use column after that the stack will be the first , after that use a listview which can hold all the participants
Have you tried using Shrink-wrap in ListView.builder and remove the container with Static height.
The hight is unbound because you're using Expanded widget in the column. Remove the Expanded widget that is wrapping the CircleAvatar. Here's your code:
// Display a Participant item
Widget getParticipantView(Participant item) {
return Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),

How to create a horizontally scrolling table with fixed column in Flutter?

I would like to create a series of tables that you can scroll through vertically, each of which may have a different number of rows/columns from each other.
Within each table, I would like to have the leftmost column frozen in place, and the remaining columns in that table to be horizontally scrollable, in case there are a number of columns that do not fit in the width of the screen. See screenshot:
My initial plan was to use a ListView for the page-level vertical scrolling between tables, and within each table, there is a Row of Columns, where the first column is a static width, and the remaining columns are enclosed within a horizontally scrolling ListView. The error I'm getting from Flutter is not helping me determine what I need to do, but it clearly has to do with having to set bounds on child Widgets.
Error: (Fixed 7/9/19 by wrapping horizontal ListView with a fixed height container and shrinkwrapping the ListView)
The following assertion was thrown during performResize():
Horizontal viewport was given unbounded width.
Viewports expand in the scrolling direction to fill their container.In this case, a horizontal
viewport was given an unlimited amount of horizontal space in which to expand. This situation
typically happens when a scrollable widget is nested inside another scrollable widget.
If this widget is always nested in a scrollable widget there is no need to use a viewport because
there will always be enough horizontal space for the children. In this case, consider using a Row
instead. Otherwise, consider using the "shrinkWrap" property (or a ShrinkWrappingViewport) to size
the width of the viewport to the sum of the widths of its children.
New Error 7/9/19:
The following message was thrown during layout:
A RenderFlex overflowed by 74 pixels on the right.
The overflowing RenderFlex has an orientation of Axis.horizontal.
The edge of the RenderFlex that is overflowing has been marked in the rendering with a yellow and
black striped pattern. This is usually caused by the contents being too big for the RenderFlex.
Consider applying a flex factor (e.g. using an Expanded widget) to force the children of the
RenderFlex to fit within the available space instead of being sized to their natural size.
This is considered an error condition because it indicates that there is content that cannot be
seen. If the content is legitimately bigger than the available space, consider clipping it with a
ClipRect widget before putting it in the flex, or using a scrollable container rather than a Flex,
like a ListView.
The specific RenderFlex in question is:
RenderFlex#9bf67 relayoutBoundary=up5 OVERFLOWING
creator: Row ← RepaintBoundary-[<0>] ← IndexedSemantics ←
NotificationListener ← KeepAlive ← AutomaticKeepAlive ← SliverList ←
SliverPadding ← Viewport ← IgnorePointer-[GlobalKey#74513] ← Semantics ← Listener ← ⋯
parentData: (can use size)
constraints: BoxConstraints(w=404.0, 0.0<=h<=Infinity)
size: Size(404.0, 300.0)
direction: horizontal
mainAxisAlignment: start
mainAxisSize: max
crossAxisAlignment: center
textDirection: ltr
This was the issue I ran into originally before getting side-tracked with the first issue reported; I can't understand why my ListView is not creating a scrollable container.
Code:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'My App',
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('My App'),
backgroundColor: Colors.teal[400],
),
body: MyClass(),
),
);
}
}
const double headerCellWidth = 108.0;
const double cellPadding = 8.0;
const double focusedColumnWidth = 185.0;
const double rowHeight = 36.0;
class MyClass extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyClassState createState() => _MyClassState();
}
class _MyClassState extends State<MyClass> {
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return ListView(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
children: <Widget>[
Row(
children: <Widget>[
Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
Container(
color: Colors.grey,
padding: EdgeInsets.all(cellPadding),
width: headerCellWidth,
),
HeaderCell('ABC'),
HeaderCell('123'),
HeaderCell('XYZ'),
],
),
Container(
height: 300.0, // Could compute height with fixed rows and known number of rows in advance
child: ListView(
shrinkWrap: true,
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
children: <Widget>[
Column(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
color: Colors.grey[300],
padding: EdgeInsets.all(cellPadding),
height: rowHeight,
width: focusedColumnWidth,
),
NumberCell('89'),
NumberCell('92'),
NumberCell('91'),
NumberCell('90'),
NumberCell('91'),
NumberCell('89'),
],
),
Column(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
color: Colors.grey[300],
padding: EdgeInsets.all(cellPadding),
height: rowHeight,
width: focusedColumnWidth,
),
NumberCell('89'),
NumberCell('92'),
NumberCell('91'),
NumberCell('90'),
NumberCell('91'),
NumberCell('89'),
],
),
],
),
),
],
),
],
);
}
}
class HeaderCell extends StatelessWidget {
HeaderCell(this.text);
final String text;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
height: rowHeight,
padding: EdgeInsets.all(cellPadding),
width: headerCellWidth,
child: Text(
text,
textAlign: TextAlign.left,
overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
maxLines: 1,
style: TextStyle(
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
),
),
);
}
}
class NumberCell extends StatelessWidget {
NumberCell(this.text);
final String text;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
height: rowHeight,
width: focusedColumnWidth,
padding: EdgeInsets.all(cellPadding),
child: Text(
text,
),
);
}
}
Here is a quick example and this would be the result: Video
List<Widget> _buildCells(int count) {
return List.generate(
count,
(index) => Container(
alignment: Alignment.center,
width: 120.0,
height: 60.0,
color: Colors.white,
margin: EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
child: Text("${index + 1}", style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.title),
),
);
}
List<Widget> _buildRows(int count) {
return List.generate(
count,
(index) => Row(
children: _buildCells(10),
),
);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(),
body: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Row(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: _buildCells(20),
),
Flexible(
child: SingleChildScrollView(
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: _buildRows(20),
),
),
)
],
),
),
);
}
So I tried to produce a minimum working bit of code, and ended up with a workable solution (even if all the details aren't ironed out, like the first locked column being of flexible width instead of a fixed width as desired). Hopefully this will help others trying to produce something similar. What's interesting is that the Table construct is needed here, because replacing the TableRow (wrapped by Table) with just a Row causes an overflow error. I would still be interested in understanding why that is since it seems crucial to the layout engine.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return ListView(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
children: <Widget>[
Table(
children: <TableRow>[
TableRow(
children: <Widget>[
Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
// first locked column items
],
),
SingleChildScrollView(
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
Row(
children: <Widget>[
// table header items
],
),
Row(
children: <Widget>[
// data cells
],
),
Row(
children: <Widget>[
// data cells
],
),
],
),
),
],
),
],
),
],
);
}
If there is not much customization needed, for those needed a fixed header and first column table may also consider to use the horizontal_data_table package:
https://pub.dev/packages/horizontal_data_table
It basically is using the two list view approach.
