Flutter - FloatingActionButton in the center

Question

Is it possible to make the FloatingActionButton in the centre instead of the right side?

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'number.dart';
import 'keyboard.dart';

class ContaPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => new Scaffold(
    body: new Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        new Number(),
        new Keyboard(),
      ],
    ),
    floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
      elevation: 0.0,
      child: new Icon(Icons.check),
      backgroundColor: new Color(0xFFE57373),
      onPressed: (){}
    )
  );
}

Solution 1

Try wrapping it in a Center widget or use a crossAxisAlignment of CrossAxisAlignment.center on your Column.

You should pick one part of your Column to be wrapped in a Flexible that will collapse to avoid overflow, or replace some or all of it with a ListView so users can scroll to see the parts that are hidden.

Solution 2

I don't know if this was added since this question was first answered, but there's now floatingActionButtonLocation property on the Scaffold class.

It would work like this in your original question:

class ContaPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => new Scaffold(
    // ...

    floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
      // ...FloatingActionButton properties...
    ),

    // Here's the new attribute:

    floatingActionButtonLocation: FloatingActionButtonLocation.centerFloat,
  );
}

Also see the documentation:

• Scaffold class (search floatingActionButtonLocation): https://docs.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Scaffold-class.html
• ...and the FloatingActionButtonLocation class: https://docs.flutter.dev/flutter/material/FloatingActionButtonLocation-class.html

Solution 3

With the new flutter API you do that very easily just change the floatingActionButtonLocation property in the Scaffold to

FloatingActionButtonLocation.centerFloat

Example :

return new Scaffold(
  floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
    child: const Icon(Icons.add),
  ),
  floatingActionButtonLocation:    
      FloatingActionButtonLocation.centerFloat,
  bottomNavigationBar: new BottomAppBar(
    color: Colors.white,
    child: new Row(...),
  ),
);

Solution 4

Use the Property floatingActionButtonLocation of scaffold class.

floatingActionButtonLocation: FloatingActionButtonLocation.centerFloat,

Full Example:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

final Color darkBlue = Color.fromARGB(255, 18, 32, 47);

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      theme: ThemeData.dark().copyWith(scaffoldBackgroundColor: darkBlue),
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: HomePage()
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(),
      body: Container(child: Center(child: Text('Hello World')),),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () {},
        child: Icon(Icons.camera, color: Colors.white, size: 29,),
        backgroundColor: Colors.black,
        tooltip: 'Capture Picture',
        elevation: 5,
        splashColor: Colors.grey,
      ),
      floatingActionButtonLocation: FloatingActionButtonLocation.centerFloat,
    );
  }
}

Solution 5

floatingActionButtonLocation: FloatingActionButtonLocation.centerFloat,

Use this property with floatingActionButtonLocation property in Scaffold.
