I am trying to design a textformfield, and I set the height to 40 for design.
But when I set the height, the height of textformfield does not increase such as picture.
Container(
height: 40,
child: Expanded(
child: TextFormField(
maxLines: null,
decoration: const InputDecoration(
border: InputBorder.none,
counterText: '',
hintText: 'enter text',
),
),
),
),
How can I solve it??
If you don’t set a fixed height for the Container
, the TextFormField
will size itself based on the number of lines.
Container(
// Remove the height
color: Colors.amber,
child: TextFormField(
maxLines: null,
decoration: const InputDecoration(
border: InputBorder.none,
counterText: '',
hintText: 'enter text',
),
),
)
If you want to set a fixed height for the Container
in a way that the TextFormField
should respect it, you can try using the expands
property:
Container(
height: 40,
child: TextFormField(
// ...
expands: true,
),
)
Make sure the parent widget of the Container
allows these constraints.
You can wrap it in a Container and set expand value to true for the TextField. The container will be the size of the default TextField and expand as the child grows.
Container(
child: TextField(
minLines: null,
maxLines: null, // Set this
expands: true, // Set this
keyboardType: TextInputType.multiline,
),
)
