Vertically Centre Align Text in TextField Flutter

I tried finding in a lot of resources but unfortunately i could not find a way to align the text vertically centre in a textfield. I also tried using suffixIcon instead of suffix but still not luck. Here is my code :

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

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

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
return _HomePageState();
}
}

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
leading: Icon(
Icons.menu,
color: Colors.black,
),
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
title: Container(
margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 10),
child: Image.asset(
"icons/logo.png",
),
),
bottom: PreferredSize(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(
left: 10,
right: 10,
bottom: 10,
),
child: Container(
height: 40,
child: TextField(
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
textAlign: TextAlign.left,
maxLines: 1,
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 13,
),
decoration: InputDecoration(
suffixIcon: IconButton(icon: Icon(Icons.search, color: Colors.black,), onPressed: (){}),
border: OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(
color: Colors.black,
),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(15)),
)
),
),
),
),
preferredSize: Size(MediaQuery.of(context).size.width, 50),
),
),
body: Container(
margin: EdgeInsets.only(top: 11),
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Carousel(),
],
),
),
);
}
}

class Carousel extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
return _CarouselState();
}
}

class _CarouselState extends State<Carousel> {
List<String> urls = [];

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10),
child: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
Image.network(
"someImageUrlHere."),
Positioned(
bottom: 5,
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width - 20,
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Text("•"),
Text("•"),
Text("•"),
Text("•"),
Text("•"),
],
),
),
],
),
);
}
}

What could be the issue that is causing this problem ? and how can i solve this issue ?

Please try to wrap by Column and add 'mainAxisAlignment' property with 'MainAxisAlignment.center'

```
Container(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start, // If you want align text to left
children: <Widget>[
TextField(
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
textAlign: TextAlign.left,
maxLines: 1,
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 13,
),
decoration: InputDecoration(
suffixIcon: IconButton(icon: Icon(Icons.search, color: Colors.black,), onPressed: (){}),
border: OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(
color: Colors.black,
),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(15)),
)
),
),
],
),
)
```

I have solution for Single-line TextField. Placing TextField inside a Container with height property,(in my case, also width) and then giving a contentPadding value inside decoration with a value of height / 2.

Code is below:
```
Container(
height: textfieldDimension,
width: textfieldDimension,
alignment: Alignment.center,

child: TextField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
border: InputBorder.none,
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(
bottom: textfieldDimension / 2, // HERE THE IMPORTANT PART
)

),
// textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center, THIS DOES NOT WORK



textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 10, // This is not so important
),
),
),
```

Date time is picking perfect but hint alignment and date value is not align in same place.

Container(

crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: <Widget>[
Center(

// width: 20,
width: SizeConfig.safeBlockHorizontal * 4,

),
SizedBox(
width: 15,

Flexible(
child: Center(
child: DateTimeField(
decoration: InputDecoration.collapsed(
hintText: "Start date and time",

// fontSize: 14,

),
validator: validateStartDate,
onSaved: (DateTime val) {
_startDate = val;
},

onShowPicker: (context, currentValue) async {
// FocusScope.of(context).previousFocus();
final Startdate = await showDatePicker(
context: context,
firstDate: DateTime.now()
.subtract(Duration(days: 1)),
initialDate: currentValue ?? DateTime.now(),
lastDate: DateTime(2100));
if (Startdate != null) {
final StartTime = await showTimePicker(
context: context,
initialTime: TimeOfDay.fromDateTime(
currentValue ?? DateTime.now()),
);
setState(() {
StartDate = DateTimeField.combine(
Startdate, StartTime);
});
return DateTimeField.combine(
Startdate, StartTime);
} else {
return currentValue;
}
},
),
),
),
],
),
),
),

)

Hope so that this will be helpful.

try this:

Container(
height: 36,
child: TextField(
maxLines: 1,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 17),
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
decoration: InputDecoration(
filled: true,
prefixIcon:
Icon(Icons.search, color: Theme.of(context).iconTheme.color),
border: OutlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide.none,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(30))),
fillColor: Theme.of(context).inputDecorationTheme.fillColor,
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.zero,
hintText: 'Search',
),
),
)

you can use textAlignVertical property availabe inside Textfield/ Textformfield.

Demo: `
TextField(
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: 'Text aligned vertically centered',
)
)`

TextField(
controller: controller,
onSubmitted: (searchInfo) async {},
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
textAlign: TextAlign.left,
textInputAction: TextInputAction.go,
decoration: InputDecoration(
contentPadding: EdgeInsets.zero,
isDense: true,
hintText: hint,
hintStyle: TextStyle(
color: Colors.black.withOpacity(.35),
fontSize: 15.0,
),
prefixIcon: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(6),
child: Image.asset(
ImageConstant.searchbox,
color: Colors.black.withOpacity(.7),
),
),


focusedBorder: InputBorder.none,
border: InputBorder.none,
),
),

If anything doesn't work, try to use:

textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.bottom,

The simplest way would be to use the built-in `TextAlign` properties to align vertically or horizontally:

TextField(
textAlign: TextAlign.center, // Align horizontally
textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center, // Align vertically
)
