How To Implement Flutter Textfield Hint Text Center – Easy Flutter Guide

In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to properly implement Flutter textfield hint text center by using practical Flutter code examples.

Introduction: Flutter Textfield Hint Text Center

Flutter textfield hint text center is as the names suggests, in this we change the default position of the hint text and make it center in the Flutter textfield. Hint text is the text that is shown when the Flutter textfield is empty to give user a hint of what to input in that specific textfield. Let’s now see what the default Flutter textfield hint text position is and how can we change it using an easy Flutter example code.

Default Flutter Textfield Hint Text Position

Let’s see the default position of the Flutter textfield. For that we have to define a simple Flutter textfield then by using the decoration constructor and passing the input decoration class in it, we can implement a hint text using the hint text constructor of the input decoration class. See the below code:

 TextField(
            decoration: InputDecoration(
                hintText: 'Default hint text position',
              ))

TextField(
              textAlign: TextAlign.center,
              decoration: InputDecoration(
                  hintText: 'Centered hint text position',
                  ))

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: Homepage(),
    );
  }
}
class Homepage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SafeArea(
      child: Scaffold(
          body: Center(
              child: Padding(
                  padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 40),
                  child: TextField(
                      textAlign: TextAlign.center,
                      decoration: InputDecoration(
                        hintText: 'Centered hint text position',
                      ))))),
    );
  }
}
