Align explained for Android Developers
For Android developers, the Align class can be compared to the layout parameters in Android views, where you can specify how a child view should be positioned within its parent. Similar to how you might use Gravity in Android XML layouts, the Align widget allows you to control the alignment of its child using the Alignment class.
Example Code
Here is an example of how to use Align:
Center( child: Container( height: 120.0, width: 120.0, color: Colors.blue[50], child: const Align( alignment: Alignment.topRight, child: FlutterLogo( size: 60, ), ), ), )Align Remarks
The Align class is a powerful tool for positioning widgets in Flutter, providing flexibility similar to Android’s layout parameters.
