Flutter align button to bottom of Drawer

Question

I'm trying to have a Widget align to the bottom of my NavDrawer while still keeping a DrawerHeader and a list at the top of the Drawer. Here's what I'm trying:

drawer: new Drawer(     child: new Column(       mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,       children: <Widget>[         new Text('Top'),         new Align(           alignment: FractionalOffset.bottomCenter,           child: new Text('Bottom'),         ),       ],     ),   ), 

The bottom text should be aligned to the bottom of the drawer, but It isn't!

Answer 1

You need to wrap your Align widget in Expanded.

drawer: Drawer(   child: Column(     mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,     children: <Widget>[       Text('Top'),       Expanded(         child: Align(           alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,           child: Text('Bottom'),         ),       ),     ],   ), ), 

Answer 2

Edit:

Years on and there's a much easier solution:

return Drawer(   child: Column(     children: [       ListView(), // <-- Whatever actual content you want goes here       Spacer(), // <-- This will fill up any free-space       // Everything from here down is bottom aligned in the drawer       Divider(),       ListTile(         title: Text('Settings'),         leading: Icon(Icons.settings),       ),       ListTile(         title: Text('Help and Feedback'),         leading: Icon(Icons.help),       ),     ] ); 

A little late to the party, but here's my solution to this problem:

  @override   Widget build(BuildContext context) {     return Drawer(       // column holds all the widgets in the drawer       child: Column(         children: <Widget>[           Expanded(             // ListView contains a group of widgets that scroll inside the drawer             child: ListView(               children: <Widget>[                 UserAccountsDrawerHeader(),                 Text('In list view'),                 Text('In list view too'),               ],             ),           ),           // This container holds the align           Container(               // This align moves the children to the bottom               child: Align(                   alignment: FractionalOffset.bottomCenter,                   // This container holds all the children that will be aligned                   // on the bottom and should not scroll with the above ListView                   child: Container(                       child: Column(                     children: <Widget>[                       Divider(),                       ListTile(                           leading: Icon(Icons.settings),                           title: Text('Settings')),                       ListTile(                           leading: Icon(Icons.help),                           title: Text('Help and Feedback'))                     ],                   )                 )               )             )         ],       ),     );   } 

This produces the below output where the UserAccountDrawerHeader and the text items can be scrolled around inside the drawer but the Divider and the two ListTiles stay static on the bottom of the drawer.
