Flutter- wrapping text

I want wrap text as text grows. I searched through and tried wrap with almost everything but still text stays one line and overflows from the screen.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Any help is highly appreciated!

Positioned(
left: position.dx,
top: position.dy,
child: new Draggable(
data: widget.index,
onDragStarted: widget.setDragging,
onDraggableCanceled: (velocity, offset) {
setState(() {
position = offset;
widget.secondCallback(offset, widget.index);
widget.endDragging();
});
},
child: new GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
widget.callback(widget.caption, widget.index);
},
child: new Text(
widget.caption.caption,
style: new TextStyle(
color: widget.caption.color,
fontSize: widget.caption.fontSize,
),
),
),
feedback: new Material(
type: MaterialType.transparency,
child: new Text(
widget.caption.caption,
style: new TextStyle(
color: widget.caption.color,
fontSize: widget.caption.fontSize),
softWrap: true,
),
),
));

In a project of mine I wrap `Text` instances around `Container`s. This particular code sample features two stacked Text objects.

Here's a code sample.

//80% of screen width
double c_width = MediaQuery.of(context).size.width*0.8;

return new Container (
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
width: c_width,
child: new Column (
children: <Widget>[
new Text ("Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 Long text 1 ", textAlign: TextAlign.left),
new Text ("Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2, Long Text 2", textAlign: TextAlign.left),
],
),
);

[edit] Added a width constraint to the container

Use Expanded

Expanded(
child: new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
new Text(_name, style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.subhead),
new Container(
margin: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 5.0),
child: new Text(text),
),
],
),

You can use Flexible, in this case the **person.name** could be a long name (Labels and BlankSpace are custom classes that return widgets) :

new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
new Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: <Widget>[
new Flexible(
child: Labels.getTitle_2(person.name,
color: StyleColors.COLOR_BLACK)),
BlankSpace.column(3),
Labels.getTitle_1(person.likes())
]),
BlankSpace.row(3),
Labels.getTitle_2(person.shortDescription),
],
)

If it's a single text widget that you want to wrap, you can either use **Flexible** or **Expanded** widgets.

Expanded(
child: Text('Some lengthy text for testing'),
)

or

Flexible(
child: Text('Some lengthy text for testing'),
)

For multiple widgets, you may choose **Wrap** widget. For further details checkout [this][1]

You Can Wrap your widget with Flexible Widget and than you can set property of Text using overflow property of Text Widget.
you have to set TextOverflow.**clip**
for example:-

Flexible
(child: new Text("This is Dummy Long Text",
style: TextStyle(
fontFamily: "Roboto",
color: Colors.black,
fontSize: 10.0,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
overflow: TextOverflow.clip,),)

hope this help someone :)

***Using Ellipsis***

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

***Using Fade***

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

***Using Clip***

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

**Note:**

If you are using `Text` inside a `Row`, you can put above `Text` inside `Expanded` like:

Expanded(
child: AboveText(),
)

Try `Wrap` widget to wrap text as text grows:

**Example:**

```dart
Wrap(
direction: Axis.vertical, //Vertical || Horizontal
children: <Widget>[
Text(
'Your Text',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30),
),
Text(
'Your Text',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30),
),
],
),

Container(
color: Color.fromRGBO(224, 251, 253, 1.0),
child: ListTile(
dense: true,
title: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
RichText(
textAlign: TextAlign.left,
softWrap: true,
text: TextSpan(children: <TextSpan>
[
TextSpan(text: "hello: ",
style: TextStyle(
color: Colors.black, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
TextSpan(text: "I hope this helps",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black)),
]
),
),
],
),
),
),

The `Flexible` does the trick

new Container(
child: Row(
children: <Widget>[
Flexible(
child: new Text("A looooooooooooooooooong text"))
],
));

This is the official doc

[To see links please register here]

on how to arrange widgets.

Remember that `Flexible` and also `Expanded`, should only be used within a `Column`, `Row` or `Flex`, because of the `Incorrect use of ParentDataWidget`.

The solution is not the mere `Flexible`
