Error calculating dimensions in SimpleDialog

[warriorCoder]

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a SimpleDialog being shown in the showDialog call.
• In the title add a row with an expanded widget which holds the AutoSizeText widget

Code sample

Container(
            color: Colors.black12,
            child: Row(
              crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
              children: <Widget>[
                Expanded(
                  child: Padding(
                    padding:
                        const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10, top: 10, bottom: 5),
                    child: AutoSizeText(
                       "Big long huge title here to shrink",
                      style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.title,
                      minFontSize: 14,
                      maxLines: 1,         
                    ),
                  ),
                ),
                IconButton(
                  alignment: Alignment.topRight,
                  icon: Icon(Icons.close),
                  onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(),
                )
              ],
            ),
          ),

Same error here, I cannot use AutoSizeText widget inside dialogs

[simc]

@lucadelc I still haven't had time to look into this :/

[VoidElle]

Nothing yet?

[simc]

Sorry, I have exams currently. After that I'll start working on the project again.

If you are in a hurry, maybe you can look into the problem yourself. If you find a solution, please create a pull request 👍

No problem mate, take your time, btw I'm a flutter developer but i don't know how to create a plugin at all 😂

@lucadelc : you don't need to know how to create a plugin. For a quick test: change you local copy of AutoSizeText components and if you succeeded, you can point out your fix here 😊

@warriorCoder Your code works fine for me. But you have to wrap it in a SizedBox because the dialog itself does not restrict its children.

[davidlawson]

From the AlertDialog docs:

(However, be aware that since [AlertDialog] tries to size itself using the intrinsic dimensions of its children, widgets such as [ListView], [GridView], and [CustomScrollView], which use lazy viewports, will not work. If this is a problem, consider using [Dialog] directly.)
