Round button with text and icon in flutter
how to have a button with text and icon for the flutter
?
I wanted to have a button
which looks like icon with a text that is able to put at the bottom of the screen
For example, the icon is like at here: android-button-with-icon-and-text
EDIT 1: With Flutter 1.20 release Flutter Team did breaking changes introducing new buttons. So the below mentioned button types are deprecated. Use TextButton instead of FlatButton and ElevatedButton instead of RaisedButton.
TextButton.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);
Elevated.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);
See breaking changes for buttons and their themes here
Note: FlatButton and RaisedButton is DEPRECATED
You can simply use named constructors for creating different types of buttons with icons. For instance
FlatButton.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);
RaisedButton.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);
But if you have specfic requirements then you can always create custom button with different layouts or simply wrap a widget in GestureDetector.
You can achieve that by using a FlatButton
that contains a Column
(for showing a text below the icon) or a Row
(for text next to the icon), and then having an Icon
Widget and a Text
widget as children.
Here's an example:
class MyPage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) =>
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Hello world"),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
FlatButton(
onPressed: () => {},
color: Colors.orange,
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
child: Column( // Replace with a Row for horizontal icon + text
children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.add),
Text("Add")
],
),
),
],
),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () => {},
tooltip: 'Increment',
child: Icon(Icons.add),
),
);
}
This will produce the following:
Screenshot:
SizedBox.fromSize(
size: Size(56, 56), // button width and height
child: ClipOval(
child: Material(
color: Colors.orange, // button color
child: InkWell(
splashColor: Colors.green, // splash color
onTap: () {}, // button pressed
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.call), // icon
Text("Call"), // text
],
),
),
),
),
)
Use Column or Row in a Button child, Row for horizontal button, Column for vertical, and dont forget to contain it with the size you need:
Container(
width: 120.0,
height: 30.0,
child: RaisedButton(
color: Color(0XFFFF0000),
child: Row(
children: <Widget>[
Text('Play this song', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),),
Icon(Icons.play_arrow, color: Colors.white,),
],
),
),
),
