How to make flutter TextField height match parent of container?



I want to make my TextField height same as my container height. Please check below code and let me know how can I make TextField match_parent of my container. I've checked this question The equivalent of wrap_content and match_parent in flutter? but didn't find any solution. I need to make TextField to take full height and width of my container.


TextField


TextField


TextField


new Container(
height: 200.0,
decoration: new BoxDecoration(
border: new Border.all(color: Colors.black)
),

child: new SizedBox.expand(
child: new TextField(
maxLines: 2,
style: new TextStyle(
fontSize: 16.0,
// height: 2.0,
color: Colors.black
),
decoration: const InputDecoration(
hintText: "There is no data",
contentPadding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 40.0),
)
),
),
)



Please check below screenshot, I need my TextField to take full height of Container

Final version of code which displays the above image


new Container(
// height: 200.0,
decoration: new BoxDecoration(
border: new Border.all(color: Colors.black)
),

child: new TextField(
maxLines: 2,
style: new TextStyle(
fontSize: 16.0,
// height: 2.0,
color: Colors.black
),
decoration: const InputDecoration(
hintText: "There is no data",
// contentPadding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 40.0),
)
),
)

Hi Ammy, How are you giving height to your TextField ?

currently I am using maxline attribute to give height to TextField, but this is not a good a practice.

maxline


TextField





Got it.. 1) It is highly coupled with fontSize. 2) I am not sure whether it will affect if you change the device (like tablet, iPad). For now, it solves the problem. Have a eye on above two problems.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right.

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
