Flutter: Outline input border

Question

I was trying to build a border for my text field like:

return TextField(
  ...
 border: OutlineInputBorder(
  borderSide: BorderSide(
   color: Colors.red, 
    width: 5.0),
    )
  )
)

But it always return a black border with 1.0 as width. The only way that I found to change the color was to create a ThemeData where I specify the hint color, but I could not find a way to change my width.

Answer 1

What your looking for is - enabledBorder property of InputDecoration.

If you want to Change Border on focus use - focusedBorder

    TextField(
        decoration: new InputDecoration(
            focusedBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
                borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.greenAccent, width: 5.0),
            ),
            enabledBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
                borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.red, width: 5.0),
            ),
            hintText: 'Mobile Number',
        ),
    ),
