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

flutter textfield hint text center

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',
              ))
flutter textfield hint text default position
In the above image, you can see that the default hint text position is left. Let’s now change it to Flutter textfield hint text center.

Implementing Flutter Textfield Hint Text Center

To center the hint text in Flutter textfield, we have to use the text align constructor of the Flutter textfield, then passing the text align center to it will make the hint text center in the Flutter textfield. See the below code for this:

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

As you can see in the above image, we have implemented the Flutter textfield hint text.
Now you have a complete practical understanding of how to implement Flutter textfield hint text center. If you still have any queries then you can comment it down. I would love to answer them.
The complete source code of Flutter textfield hint text center is given in the next section.

Flutter Textfield Hint Text Center Source Code

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',
                      ))))),
    );
  }
}
