Container explained for Android Developers

A container first surrounds the child with padding (inflated by any borders present in the decoration) and then applies additional constraints to the padded extent (incorporating the width and height as constraints, if either is non-null). The container is then surrounded by additional empty space described from the margin.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use Container:

Container(
  margin: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
  color: Colors.amber[600],
  width: 48.0,
  height: 48.0,
)

Container Remarks

The Container widget is versatile and essential for layout design in Flutter, allowing for complex UI structures with simple configurations.
