Flutter - Insert overflow ellipsis into text

I am trying to create a line where the center text is at its maximum size, and if the text content is too large, it will fit.

I insert a property TextOverflow.ellipsis

to shorten text and insert triple dots ...

but it doesn't work.

main.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      home: new HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => new Scaffold(
    appBar: new AppBar(
      backgroundColor: new Color(0xFF26C6DA),
    ),
    body: new ListView  (
      children: <Widget>[
        new Card(
          child: new Container(
            padding: new EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 16.0, vertical: 18.0),
            child: new Row(
              children: <Widget>[
                new Container(
                  padding: new EdgeInsets.only(right: 24.0),
                  child: new CircleAvatar(
                    backgroundColor: new Color(0xFFF5F5F5),
                    radius: 16.0,
                  )
                ),
                new Container(
                  padding: new EdgeInsets.only(right: 13.0),
                  child: new Text(
                    'Text lar...',
                    overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
                    style: new TextStyle(
                      fontSize: 13.0,
                      fontFamily: 'Roboto',

                    ),
                  ),
                ),
                new Container(
                  child: new Column(
                    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.end,

You must wrap Container

in Flexible

so that yours Row

knows what to Container

be narrower than its inner width. Expanded

will also work.

            new Flexible(
              child: new Container(
                padding: new EdgeInsets.only(right: 13.0),
                child: new Text(
                  'Text largeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee',
                  overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
                  style: new TextStyle(
                    fontSize: 13.0,
                    fontFamily: 'Roboto',
                    color: new Color(0xFF212121),
                    fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
                  ),
                ),

Using ellipsis

Text(
  "This is a long text",
  overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
),

enter image description here



Using Fade

Text(
  "This is a long text",
  overflow: TextOverflow.fade,
  maxLines: 1,
  softWrap: false,
),

enter image description here



Using a clip

Text(
  "This is a long text",
  overflow: TextOverflow.clip,
  maxLines: 1,
  softWrap: false,
),

enter image description here



Note:

If you are using Text

inside Row

, you can put over Text

inside Expanded

, for example:

Expanded(
  child: AboveText(),
)

You can use this code to show ellipsis text

Text(
    "Introduction to Very very very long text",
    maxLines: 1,
    overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
    softWrap: false,
    style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
),

You can do it like this

Expanded(
   child: Text(
   'Text',
   overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
   maxLines: 1
   )
)

I think the parent container should be given the maximum width of the appropriate size. It looks like the "Text" field will fill all the space shown above.

SizedBox(
    width: 200.0,
    child: Text('PRODUCERS CAVITY FIGHTER 50X140g',
                overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
                style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.body2))

Just wrap a widget inside that can take a specific width for it to work, or it will take the width of the parent container.

Wrap, whose children are in a row or column, wrap your column or row with a new Flexible ();

One way to fix a text widget overflow in a line if, for example, a chat message can be one really long line. You can create a Container and BoxConstraint with maxWidth in it.

            Container(
              constraints: BoxConstraints(maxWidth: 200),
                child: Text(
                  (chatName == null) ? " ": chatName,
                  style: TextStyle(
                      fontWeight: FontWeight.w400,
                      color: Colors.black87,
                      fontSize: 17.0),
                )
            ),
