How to make Scrollable text in flutter?
If you want to touch any part of the screen, and be able to scroll, use this example. I used colors yellow and green to show that the entire screen will scroll, not just the text area.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class ShowFilePage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_ShowFilePageState createState() => _ShowFilePageState();
}
class _ShowFilePageState extends State<ShowFilePage> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.yellow,
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Text'),
),
body: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
children: [
Expanded(
child: Container(
color: Colors.green,
child: SingleChildScrollView(child: Text('insert long text here')))),
],
));
}
}
You need to wrap your SingleChildScrollView in an Expanded widget and you will get what you are looking for.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(new MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: new MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
var size = MediaQuery
.of(context)
.size;
final double itemHeight = (size.height - kToolbarHeight - 24) / 2;
final double itemWidth = size.width;
return new Container(
child: new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
new Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0.0, 24.0, 0.0, 0.0),
child: new Image.asset(
'assets/rp1.jpg',
height: 200.0,
width: itemWidth,
),
),
new Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(12.0),
child: new Text(
"Some Heading Text",
style: new TextStyle(
fontSize: 28.0,
color: Colors.white,
fontWeight: FontWeight.w600),
),
),
new Expanded(
flex: 1,
child: new SingleChildScrollView(
scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,//.horizontal
child: new Text(

),
),
),
],
),
);
