Centering in the AppBar with the back button


I store in the title the text and icon that are displayed in the AppBar in the center. During the transition, the back button that appears takes up part of the line and my centering shifts. Can I somehow get around this and make the titled centered even if there is a back button ?

enter image description here

The bottom icon is located in the center of the screen

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        leading: BackButton(
        color: Colors.grey
   ), 
          elevation: 0,
          title: Center(
              child: Row(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              Icon(Icons.telegram_sharp, color: iconColor),
              Padding(
                  padding:
                      const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 2, vertical: 2)),
              Text('ID', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontSize: 18)),
            ],
          ))),
      body: Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
        child: ListView(
          children: [
            _MainInfoWidget(),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

Solution

  • You need to set the following properties on the Row():

    MainAxisAlignment.center
    MainAxisSize.min
    

    And: centerTitle: true On the appBar(). Also, remove your Center() widget.

    Complete example:

    Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
              centerTitle: true,
              leading: BackButton(color: Colors.grey),
              elevation: 0,
              title: Row(
                mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
                children: [
                  Icon(Icons.telegram_sharp, color: Colors.black),
                  Padding(
                      padding:
                          const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 2, vertical: 2)),
                  Text('ID', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontSize: 18)),
                ],
              )),
          body: Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
            child: Container(),
          ),
        );
    

    Result:
