If you prefer, you can grab the code from
|
this GitHub repo.The examples are explained in the following sections.<topic_end>
|
<topic_start>Example 1
|
<code_start>Container(color: red)<code_end>
|
The screen is the parent of the Container, and it
|
forces the Container to be exactly the same size as the screen.So the Container fills the screen and paints it red.<topic_end>
|
<topic_start>Example 2
|
<code_start>Container(width: 100, height: 100, color: red)<code_end>
|
The red Container wants to be 100 × 100,
|
but it can’t, because the screen forces it to be
|
exactly the same size as the screen.So the Container fills the screen.<topic_end>
|
<topic_start>Example 3
|
<code_start>Center(
|
child: Container(width: 100, height: 100, color: red),
|
)<code_end>
|
The screen forces the Center to be exactly the same size
|
as the screen, so the Center fills the screen.The Center tells the Container that it can be any size it
|
wants, but not bigger than the screen. Now the Container
|
can indeed be 100 × 100.<topic_end>
|
<topic_start>Example 4
|
<code_start>Align(
|
alignment: Alignment.bottomRight,
|
child: Container(width: 100, height: 100, color: red),
|
)<code_end>
|
This is different from the previous example in that it uses
|
Align instead of Center.Align also tells the Container that it can be any size it
|
wants, but if there is empty space it won’t center the Container.
|
Instead, it aligns the container to the bottom-right of the
|
available space.<topic_end>
|
<topic_start>Example 5
|
<code_start>Center(
|
child: Container(
|
width: double.infinity, height: double.infinity, color: red),
|
)<code_end>
|
The screen forces the Center to be exactly the
|
same size as the screen, so the Center fills the screen.The Center tells the Container that it can be any size it wants,
|
but not bigger than the screen. The Container wants to be
|
of infinite size, but since it can’t be bigger than the screen,
|
it just fills the screen.<topic_end>
|
<topic_start>Example 6
|
<code_start>Center(
|
child: Container(color: red),
|
)<code_end>
|
The screen forces the Center to be exactly the
|
same size as the screen, so the Center fills the screen.The Center tells the Container that it can be any
|
size it wants, but not bigger than the screen.
|
Since the Container has no child and no fixed size,
|
it decides it wants to be as big as possible,
|
so it fills the whole screen.But why does the Container decide that?
|
Simply because that’s a design decision by those who
|
created the Container widget. It could have been
|
created differently, and you have to read the
|
Container API documentation to understand
|
how it behaves, depending on the circumstances.<topic_end>
|
<topic_start>Example 7
|
<code_start>Center(
|
child: Container(
|
color: red,
|
child: Container(color: green, width: 30, height: 30),
|
),
|
)<code_end>
