widget that takes the height and width from its chiuld code example

Example 1: flutter get parent width

var container = new Container(
  // Toggling width from 100 to 300 will change what is rendered
  // in the child container
  width: 100.0,
  // width: 300.0
  child: new LayoutBuilder(
    builder: (BuildContext context, BoxConstraints constraints) {
      if(constraints.maxWidth > 200.0) {
        return new Text('BIG');
      } else {
        return new Text('SMALL');
      }
    }
  ),
);

Example 2: flutter set widget width to 50% o parent

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("MediaQuery"),
      ),
      body: Container(
        width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.5,
        height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.5,
      ),
    );
  }
