In bigger screens this isn't an issue and height of all widgets are the same but in smaller screens sometimes one of them is bigger than others because widgets extends themselves to contain content.
How can I fix it?
return ListView(
children: <Widget>[
Row(
children: <Widget>[
Flexible(child: _valueBox(), flex: 3, fit: FlexFit.tight),
Flexible(child: _dueDateBox(), flex: 3, fit: FlexFit.tight),
],
),
Row(
children: <Widget>[
Flexible(child: _advancePaymentBox(), flex: 3, fit: FlexFit.tight),
Flexible(child: _priceBox(), flex: 3, fit: FlexFit.tight),
],
),
],
);
It looks like it's because the text is overflowing to a new line. There is a widget called ConstrainedBox if you want to enforce a fixed size. You also might want to look at this package, it can dynamically resize your text to fit. https://github.com/leisim/auto_size_text
How about to use GridView?
I think it's more easier way.
This is just a sample code. I added 2 line text instead of image.
Widget _valueBox(){
return Container(color: Colors.blue,
child: Column(mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Text("title"), Text("TestA", style: TextStyle(fontSize:50.0))]));
}
Widget _dueDateBox(){
return Container(color: Colors.yellow,
child: Column(mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Text("title"), Text("This is long text", style: TextStyle(fontSize:50.0))]));
}
Widget _advancedPaymentBox(){
return Container(color: Colors.green,
child: Column(mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Text("title"), Text("TestA", style: TextStyle(fontSize:50.0))]));
}
Widget _priceBox(){
return Container(color: Colors.pink,
child: Column(mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Text("title"), Text("This is long text really", style: TextStyle(fontSize:50.0))]));
}
Widget getList(BuildContext context){
return GridView.count(
crossAxisCount: 2,
children: <Widget>[
_valueBox(),
_dueDateBox(),
_advancedPaymentBox(),
_priceBox()
],
);
}
And, It is the result.

I have a layout as follows:
Widget1 is aligned to the left, Widget2 and the text widget - to the right.
How can I wrap the text with an ellipsis for example in case it doesn't fit into the row, as follows?
you can wrap 'Text with property...' inside ExpandedWidget.
Row(
children: [
WidgetA(),
WidgetB(),
Expanded(
child: Text("...."),
)
],
)
add your Text widget inside Expanded
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: [
Expanded(
child: Text('Atras'),
),
Expanded(
child: Text('Filtros offertos'),
),
Expanded(
child: Text('title'),
),
Expanded(
child: Text('titleasdas'),
),
Expanded(
child: Text('title'),
),
Expanded(
child: Text('titlesfsfsdf'),
),
],
),
Your result screen->
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
Flexible(
flex: 1,
child: Container(
color: Colors.blueAccent
),
),
Flexible(
flex: 4,
child: Container(
color: Colors.deepOrangeAccent,
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
//mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.image),
],
),
),
),
Flexible(
flex: 2,
child: Container(color: Colors.blueGrey),
),
],
),
);
Screenshot
The Icon is taking its original size only. I want it to fill the container.
I have tried LayoutBuilder but the BoxConstraints have infinite height warning comes.
Please suggest any other options without using hardcoded sizes for any of the widgets.
Edit; So after reading your comment here is you should use a FittedBox instead (as suggested in the comments) and BoxFit.Fill property; so:
<Widget>[ Expanded(child:FittedBox(child: Icon(Icons.image),fit: BoxFit.fill)), ]
--
If you can change your icon to Image then you can use the BoxFit.fill property to stretch the image to fill the entire container (wrap the image in Expanded widget too).
Here is an example with a placeholder:
Flexible(
flex: 4,
child: Container(
color: Colors.deepOrangeAccent,
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
//mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(child: Image.network('https://picsum.photos/250?image=9', fit:BoxFit.fill)
)
],
),
),
I would take the LayoutBuilder approach. You mentioned you had infinity warning, which might be because you don't dynamically pick between the height of your parent container or its width.
Depending on the orientation of your device, you might need to pick one or the other. The easiest way to cater for that is to pick the smaller of the two.
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
Flexible(
flex: 1,
child: Container(color: Colors.blueAccent),
),
Flexible(
flex: 4,
child: Container(
color: Colors.deepOrangeAccent,
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
//mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: <Widget>[
LayoutBuilder(builder: (context, constraints) {
var height = constraints.maxHeight;
var width = constraints.maxWidth;
return Icon(FontAwesomeIcons.addressBook, size: min(height, width));
}),
],
),
),
),
Flexible(
flex: 2,
child: Container(color: Colors.blueGrey),
),
],
),
);
}
}
Note: you'll need to import the 'dart:math' package to use the min() function.
I am trying to build a view as in the image below.
The tweet your reply is just stack at the bottom while the other stuff are scrollable.
I've been banging my head on how to achieve this for a couple of hours.
Exactly;y like in the image below. There are four sections:
The post (tweet)
The row of icons
The comments (which scrolls)
The tweet your reply which is static
The solution would be to use the Align Widget. So in your Stack you would put as the last element in the stack:
Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
child: // your widget would go here
),
I'm judging by your question that you have figured out how to do all of the other parts, and was just wondering about the bottom part. You can use Align to align things in other ways as well (such as topCenter, bottomLeft, etc). Hope this helps, and if so please up vote and accept as answer and if not leave a comment below.
Edit:
I wouldn't use a Stack. I would wrap the entire widget tree in a Column, and put the post in a Expanded Widget with a flex factor of 1, and a Row of Icons below it. Then put a ListView in an Expanded Widget with a flex of 4 (you can experiment with values). And lastly in the Column I would add you "Tweet you reply" Widget.
Simple layout code to give you an idea of how to implement it:
Column(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: ListView(
shrinkWrap: true,
children: <Widget>[
//your post
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
children: <Widget>[
// your icons
],
),
//your comments
],
),
),
Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
child: // you textField,
),
],
)
Try this
class Home extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: SafeArea(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(50),
child: Center(
child: Text(
"A POST"
),
),
),
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.details),
Icon(Icons.print),
Icon(Icons.translate),
Icon(Icons.map)
],
),
Expanded(
child: ListView(
children: List.generate(10, (index) => ListTile(title: Text("Comment $index"),)),
),
)
],
),
),
TextField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
labelText: "Tweet your reply"
),
)
],
),
),
);
}
}
The output:
If you want the post to scroll with it, this should help
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class Home extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: SafeArea(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(50),
child: Center(
child: Text(
"A POST"
),
),
),
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.details),
Icon(Icons.print),
Icon(Icons.translate),
Icon(Icons.map)
],
),
Column(
children: List.generate(10, (index) => ListTile(title: Text("Comment $index"),)),
)
],
),
),
),
TextField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
labelText: "Tweet your reply"
),
)
],
),
),
);
}
}
In my layout I have two Widgets in a row, one text and the an icon.
As shown below, assume that * refers to the icon, and using "-" to represent the row:
----------------------------
Text *
----------------------------
How do I make my text centered in the entire row, and the icon to the right end ?
The main thing you need to notice is that if you don't want to use Stack you should provide same width-consuming widgets both on left and right.
I would do this with either Expanded and Padding
Row(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 32.0),
child: Text(
"Text",
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
),
),
Icon(Icons.add, size: 32.0,)
],
)
or with Row's mainAxisAlignment and a SizedBox
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: <Widget>[
const SizedBox(width: 32.0),
Text("Text"),
Icon(Icons.add, size: 32.0)
],
)
or with Expanded and a SizedBox on the left instead of the padding :). The padding or extra container on the left is so that the textAlign will truly center the text in the row taking into account the space taken up by the Icon.
Simply use Expanded and Spacer widgets on left/right side and put your widget inside the Expanded:
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Spacer(),
Text('Text'),
Expanded(
child: Text('*'),
),
),
],
),
Result:
1. Using Row (not very flexible though)
Row(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(child: Center(child: Text('Center'))),
Text("#"),
],
)
2. Using Stack (flexible)
IntrinsicHeight(
child: Stack(
children: [
Align(child: Text('Center')),
Positioned(right: 0, child: Text('#')),
],
),
)
I found it necessary to use a Stack to get Text to be truly centered:
Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: [
Stack(
alignment: Alignment.center,
children: [
Align(
alignment: Alignment.center,
child: Text('Text'),
),
Align(
alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
child: Text('*'),
)
],
),
],
);
For flexibility reasons I recommend to use Expanded widgets:
Row(
children: [
Expanded(flex: 1, child: Container()),
Expanded(
flex: 8,
child: Text('Your Text',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
),
Expanded(flex: 1, child: IconButton(...))
],
)
For my case, I solved my centering problem by adjusting the flex property of the Spacer widget -
Row(children: [
Spacer(flex: 3),//3 was for my case, It might be changed for your widgets
Text('Center'),
Spacer(flex: 1),//1 was also for my case, It might be changed on for your widgets
Text("*")]);
Add another icon in the start and set the opacity to zero.
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: [
CloseButton(
onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(),
),
Text('text',),
Opacity(
opacity: 0,
child: Icon(Icons.close),
),
],
)
This worked for me without Stack. But it is the other way around. "Text" goes to left "*" goes to center:
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
Expanded(
child: Text("text",
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.caption),
),
Text("*"),
Spacer(),
],
)
I'm trying to bottom-center a widget at the bottom of a Column, but it keeps aligning to the left.
return new Column(
new Stack(
new Positioned(
bottom: 0.0,
new Center(
new Container(),
),
),
),
);
The existence of the Positioned forces the Container to the left, instead of centering. Removing the Positioned, however, puts the Container in the middle-center.
Align is the way to go if you have only one child.
If you have more, consider doing something like this:
return new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
children: <Widget>[
// Your elements here
],
);
The easiest and the correct way to do it - use Spacer()
Example:
Column(
children: [
SomeWidgetOnTheTop(),
Spacer(),
SomeCenterredBottomWidget(),
],
);
Expanded(
child: Align(
alignment: FractionalOffset.bottomCenter,
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 10.0),
child: //Your widget here,
),
),
),
I have used this approach,
What i want is, A layout always in bottom but whenever Keyboard pops-up that layout also comes over it
body: Container(
color: Colors.amber,
height: double.maxFinite,
child: new Stack(
//alignment:new Alignment(x, y)
children: <Widget>[
new Positioned(
child: myWidget(context, data.iconName, Colors.red),
),
new Positioned(
child: new Align(
alignment: FractionalOffset.bottomCenter,
child: myWidget(context, data.iconName, Colors.green)
),
)
],
),
),
1) You can use an Align widget, with FractionalOffset.bottomCenter.
2) You can also set left: 0.0 and right: 0.0 in the Positioned.
Just expanding the answers:
Spacer is an option no one mentioned yet; it is used in case you prefer not to use Positioned / Align.
Align works if you want to specify the alignment of a child inside a parent. Use it anywhere but directly inside Stack
Positioned is similar to Align, but works only under Stack directly.
Design everything using Expanded() is one of the easiest way to do this
Column(
children: [
Expanded(
child: Placeholder(),
flex: 1,
),
Expanded(
child: Placeholder(),
flex: 10,
),
Expanded(
flex: 2,
child: Placeholder(),
)
],
),
If you wish to leave content as it, can wrap it with scrollable.
Useful if you have inputs in the children:
return Stack(
children: <Widget>[
Positioned(
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
children: children
..add(Container(
height: 56, // button heigh, so could scroll underlapping area
)))),
),
Positioned(
child: Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
child: button,
),
)
],
);
Widget _bottom() {
return Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
Expanded(
child: Container(
color: Colors.amberAccent,
width: double.infinity,
child: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: new List<int>.generate(50, (index) => index + 1)
.map((item) {
return Text(
item.toString(),
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
);
}).toList(),
),
),
),
),
Container(
color: Colors.blue,
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
Text(
'BoTToM',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 33),
),
],
),
),
],
);
}
Wrap your Container in SingleChildScrollView() widget. Then it will not come above when keyboard pops up.
In addition of Stack:
to avoid floating container on keyboard, use this
return Scaffold(
appBar: getAppBar(title),
resizeToAvoidBottomInset: false,
body:
