Text explained for Android Developers

The Text widget can display text with various styles and can handle overflow using properties like overflow and maxLines. It can also be made interactive by wrapping it in a GestureDetector or using RichText for more complex text interactions.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use Text:

Container(
  width: 100,
  decoration: BoxDecoration(border: Border.all()),
  child: Text(
    overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
    'Hello $_name, how are you?'
  ),
)

Text Remarks

The Text class in Flutter is versatile, allowing for styled text, overflow handling, and interactivity, making it essential for building user interfaces.
