Flutter - How to show text and icon in one line in row?


I am using row widget with three child widgets: Text Icon Text

I want all of them to appear in single line same level horizontally and drop to new line if text increases.

I am using below code for Row widget but last Text widget is not aligned correctly enter image description here

The text dropping should start below the "Tap" and "on the right hand" is not aligned

Row(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
  mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
  children: <Widget>[
    Text(
      'Tap ',
      style: TextStyle(
        fontSize: 17,
      ),
    ),
    Icon(Icons.add),
    Expanded(
      child: Text(
        'on the right hand corner to start a new chat.',
        style: TextStyle(
          fontSize: 17,
        ),
      ),
    )
  ],
)

Solution

  • Use Text.rich with WidgetSpan to put icon inside text (inline)

    Text.rich(
      TextSpan(
        style: TextStyle(
          fontSize: 17,
        ),
        children: [
          TextSpan(
            text: 'Tap',
          ),
          WidgetSpan(
            child: Icon(Icons.add),
          ),
          TextSpan(
            text: 'on the right hand corner to start a new chat.',
          )
        ],
      ),
    )
