In this tutorial, we’ll learn what Flutter textformfield focused border color is and how to properly change it. We’ll be using practical Flutter code examples for better understanding.
Introduction: Flutter Textformfield Focused Border Color
Focused border is the border that is shown when the textformfield is focused. Let’s first see its default color and after that, we’ll customize it practically.
Default Focused Border Color
For that, we’ll implement a simple Flutter textformfield widget. By default, the textformfield is assigned with underline border which we’ll see in the below image after our code gets executed. See below code:
TextFormField()
The above image shows the default Flutter textformfield focused border color. Let’s now see how to customize its color.
Change Flutter Textformfield Focused Border Color
- In order to do that, we’ve to use the decoration constructor of textformfield widget class and pass it input decoration.
- After that, we’ll use the focused border constructor of input decoration and pass it underline input border as we are currently customizing the underline border color.
- Finally, we’ve to use the border side constructor of underline input border and pass it border side widget and then by using its color constructor, we can easily pass it any color of our choice. For demonstration, we’ve passed it a green color.
- Also, we’ve increased the height of border using the width constructor of border side class so the color change will look more visible. See below code:
TextFormField( decoration: InputDecoration( focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder( borderSide: BorderSide( color: Colors.green, width: 2))), )
As we can see that Flutter textformfield focused border color is successfully customized.
See below code if you want to change the outline border color of textformfield.
TextFormField( decoration: InputDecoration( focusedBorder: OutlineInputBorder( borderSide: BorderSide( color: Colors.green, width: 2))), )
So this is how we can easily change Flutter textformfield focused border color.
