Renderflex overflow caused by row

Question

I am trying to implement simple one-two line text. Text will have a starting text then icon and ending text.Due to different styles i am using row with text,icon and text widgets. I am getting A RenderFlex overflowed by 16 pixels on the right. error. i enclose the row in flexible and expanded but still not working. i just want the text to drop at the end of line to next line.

Container( padding: EdgeInsets.only( left: 20, right: 20, ), width: mdq.size.width, child: Column( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center, crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start, children: <Widget>[ Expanded( child: Row( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start, mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min, children: <Widget>[ Text( 'Tap ', style: TextStyle( fontSize: 17, ), ), Icon(Icons.add), Text( 'on the right hand corner to start a new chat.', style: TextStyle( fontSize: 17, ), ), ], ), ), Container( margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric( vertical: 15, ), child: Text( 'You can communicate with the user who have installed Just Meetups and Deals app', style: TextStyle( color: Colors.grey, fontSize: 16, ), ), ), Container( margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric( vertical: 15, ), child: InkWell( onTap: () {}, child: Text( 'Start communicating', textAlign: TextAlign.left, style: TextStyle( color: Colors.blue, fontSize: 20, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, ), ), ), ), ], ), );

Use the Expanded widget

Container( padding: EdgeInsets.only( left: 20, right: 20, ), width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width, child: Column( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center, crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start, children: <Widget>[ 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, ), ), ) ], ), Container( margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric( vertical: 15, ), child: Text( 'You can communicate with the user who have installed Just Meetups and Deals app', style: TextStyle( color: Colors.grey, fontSize: 16, ), ), ), Container( margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric( vertical: 15, ), child: InkWell( onTap: () {}, child: Text( 'Start communicating', textAlign: TextAlign.left, style: TextStyle( color: Colors.blue, fontSize: 20, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, ), ), ), ), ], ), ),

Here's a codepen of it working

as i mentioned that i tried expanded but its not working. I am updating widget tree
@BilalRabbi i have update my answer, check if that's what you need
Sorry sir not exactly as it has pushed the 2nd child of parent column to the bottom and after + icon the text is not inline with first text. i was just trying to creating mockup of whatsapp screen when user has not contacted anyone.
You need to describe your problem more, i thought the problem was your text overflowing, post an image to your op if it helps
Parent widgets is just a ListView.builder in StreamBuilder which is in scaffold body

You need not use any flex like [Expanded, Flexible, etc] for rows in the column because rows default takes max-width available by column

You are getting an error because your row child width is more than available screen size

you can use Expanded for the children of large width of rows in Expanded to wrap the child in available width inside a row.
