How to left align the OutlineButton
icon in Flutter?
Icon
can be added as follows, but both icon and text are centered aligned in the button. Is there a way to align the icon to the left and text to the center?
return new OutlineButton.icon(
onPressed: onPressed,
label: new Text(title),
icon: icon,
highlightedBorderColor: Colors.orange,
color: Colors.green,
borderSide: new BorderSide(color: Colors.green),
shape: new RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(5.0)));
The Align widget positions the FlutterLogo such that the two points are on top of each other. In this example, the top left of the FlutterLogo will be placed at (24.0, 72.0) - (12.0, 36.0) = (12.0, 36.0) from the top left of the Align widget.
FlatButton( color: Colors. black, child: Align( alignment: Alignment. centerRight, child: Text( "M", style: TextStyle( color: mColor, fontSize: 10.0), ), ), That code produces this. But changing to Alignment.
textDirection: textDirection is used to specify the direction of the text inside a Text Widget say ltr (left-to-right) or rtl (right to left). ltr is the default text direction.
There are many ways you can do it, but it's not possible using the factory constructor that you mentioned OutlineButton.icon
, you can go deeper and check the source code to see how it build the widget.
You can create your own Widget
to put an icon to the left and the text centered.
Also you can use the OutlineButton
widget and pass a Stack/Row as a child, check this sample
OutlineButton(
onPressed: () => null,
child: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
Align(
alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
child: Icon(Icons.access_alarm)
),
Align(
alignment: Alignment.center,
child: Text(
"Testing",
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
)
)
],
),
highlightedBorderColor: Colors.orange,
color: Colors.green,
borderSide: new BorderSide(color: Colors.green),
shape: new RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(5.0)
)
)
There are common approaches you can try, I have implemented this :
OutlineButton(
onPressed: () => null,
child: Stack(
alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.save_alt_rounded),
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Text('Title'),
],
),
],
),
highlightedBorderColor: Colors.orange,
color: Colors.green,
borderSide: new BorderSide(color: Colors.green),
shape: new RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(5.0)
)
);
