Flutter- wrapping text
In a project of mine I wrap Text
instances around Container
s. This particular code sample features two stacked Text objects.
Here's a code sample.
//80% of screen width
double c_width = MediaQuery.of(context).size.width*0.8;
return new Container (
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
width: c_width,
child: new Column (
children: <Widget>[
new Text ("Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 ", textAlign: TextAlign.left),
new Text ("Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2", textAlign: TextAlign.left),
],
),
);
[edit] Added a width constraint to the container
Use Expanded
Expanded(
child: new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
new Text(_name, style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.subhead),
new Container(
margin: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 5.0),
child: new Text(text),
),
],
),
The Flexible
does the trick
new Container(
child: Row(
children: <Widget>[
Flexible(
child: new Text("A looooooooooooooooooong text"))
],
));
This is the official doc https://flutter.dev/docs/development/ui/layout#lay-out-multiple-widgets-vertically-and-horizontally on how to arrange widgets.
Remember that Flexible
and also Expanded
, should only be used within a Column
, Row
or Flex
, because of the Incorrect use of ParentDataWidget
.
The solution is not the mere Flexible
