I'm using TextFormField
with OutlineInputBorder
. I need the text inside to have padding on the right and left. For this I'm using:
contentPadding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 4, horizontal: 8),
Everything works well. However, I also use a validator
. And if an incorrect value is entered in the field, an error is displayed.
But I need the padding to not apply to the error. Can you tell me if this can be achieved? For an example, look at the picture:
Is it possible to change padding only for my error text ?
Please, help me.
there is no possible solution at this time . if we inspect the TextFormField , the contentPadding also control the error text to
but we can achieve that
this is my code
final GlobalKey<FormState> _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
bool onError = false;
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(),
body: SingleChildScrollView(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
child: Column(
children: [
Form(
key: _formKey,
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(
left: 20, right: 20, top: 20, bottom: 20),
child: Stack(children: [
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 20),
child: TextFormField(
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.amber, fontSize: 14),
controller: emailEditingController,
decoration: InputDecoration(
alignLabelWithHint: true,
floatingLabelBehavior:
FloatingLabelBehavior.never,
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(30, 5, 10, 5),
labelText: "Enter Email",
border: OutlineInputBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(30.0),
),
labelStyle: TextStyle(
color: Colors.grey.shade400, fontSize: 14),
),
validator: (String? value) {
setState(() {
onError = false;
});
if (value!.isEmpty) {
setState(() {
onError = true;
});
return null;
}
return null;
},
)),
onError
? Positioned(
bottom: 0,
child: Text('this is an error msg',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red)))
: Container()
]))),
MaterialButton(
key: Key('login'),
minWidth: 150,
height: 50,
color: Colors.amber,
child: Text('login'),
onPressed: () {
FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(FocusNode());
if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {}
}),
],
),
),
);
}
}
note that
please don't add error message text, error message style , etc . because it will create a space
out put will be
