Flutter – RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are unbounded have tried for flexible and expanded does not work

fluttertextfield

I have below codes. I have google around

e.g. TextField inside of Row causes layout exception: Unable to calculate size. The issue is in my case is this

TextFormField( onChanged: (value) => contactNo = value,

I have tried expanded, I have tried flexible etc all does not work and gives me error. What else should I fix in this case ? I have tried adding this child: SingleChildScrollView( and even this mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
Yet the same errors.

Best Answer

A ScrollView doesn't define a height constraint, only a width constraint. Inside your second Column it looks like you're defining an Expanded, which means that widget will try and expand vertically "unbounded" by a height constraint. You can try removing the Expanded and see if that does it or adding a fixed height to RoundedCardDataNoColor
