Sizing elements to percentage of screen width height

Question

Is there a simple  non-LayoutBuilder  way to size an element relative to screen size  width height   For example  how do I set the width of a CardView to be 65  of the screen width   It can t be done inside the build method  obviously  so it would have to be deferred until post build  Is there a preferred place to put logic like this

There is many way to do this  1  Using MediaQuery    Its return fullscreen of your device including appbar toolbar  Container          width  MediaQuery of context  size width   0 50          height  MediaQuery of context  size height 0 50           color  Colors blueAccent 400         2  Using Expanded   You can set width height in ratio  Container          height  MediaQuery of context  size height   0 50          child  Row            children   lt Widget gt               Expanded                flex  70                child  Container                  color  Colors lightBlue 400                                               Expanded                flex  30                child  Container                  color  Colors deepPurple 800                                                                   3  Others Like  Flexible and  AspectRatio and FractionallySizedBox

Use the LayoutBuilder Widget that will give you constraints that you can use to obtain the height that excludes the AppBar and the padding  Then use a SizedBox and provide the width and height using the constraints from the LayoutBuilder  return LayoutBuilder builder   context2  constraints      return Column      children   lt Widget gt         SizedBox          width  constraints maxWidth          height  constraints maxHeight

There are several possibilities  1- The first one is the use of the MediaQuery   Code   MediaQuery of context  size width   to get the width of screen MediaQuery of context  size height   to get height of screen  Example of use   Container          color  Colors yellow          height  MediaQuery of context  size height   0 65          width  MediaQuery of context  size width           Output    2- The use of  FractionallySizedBox Creates a widget that sizes its child to a fraction of the total available space  Example   FractionallySizedBox             widthFactor  0 65     between 0 and 1             heightFactor  1 0             child Container color  Colors red                            Output    3- The use of other widgets such as Expanded   Flexible and AspectRatio and more

FractionallySizedBox may also be useful  You can also read the screen width directly out of MediaQuery of context  size and create a sized box based on that  MediaQuery of context  size width   0 65   if you really want to size as a fraction of the screen regardless of what the layout is

you can use MediaQuery with the current context of your widget and get width or height like this  double width   MediaQuery of context  size width double height   MediaQuery of context  size height  after that  you can multiply it with the percentage you want

This is a supplemental answer showing the implementation of a couple of the solutions mentioned  FractionallySizedBox If you have a single widget you can use a FractionallySizedBox widget to specify a percentage of the available space to fill  Here the green Container is set to fill 70  of the available width and 30  of the available height   Widget myWidget       return FractionallySizedBox      widthFactor  0 7      heightFactor  0 3      child  Container        color  Colors green                 Expanded The Expanded widget allows a widget to fill the available space  horizontally if it is in a row  or vertically if it is in a column  You can use the flex property with multiple widgets to give them weights  Here the green Container takes 70  of the width and the yellow Container takes 30  of the width   If you want to do it vertically  then just replace Row with Column  Widget myWidget       return Row      children   lt Widget gt         Expanded          flex  7          child  Container            color  Colors green                            Expanded          flex  3          child  Container            color  Colors yellow                                     Supplemental code Here is the main dart code for your reference  import  package flutter material dart    void main     gt  runApp MyApp      class MyApp extends StatelessWidget      override   Widget build BuildContext context        return MaterialApp        home  Scaffold          appBar  AppBar            title  Text  quot FractionallySizedBox quot                       body  myWidget                              replace with example code above Widget myWidget       return

You could build a Column Row with Flexible or Expanded children that have flex values that add up to the percentages you want   You may also find the AspectRatio widget useful

First get the size of screen    Size size   MediaQuery of context  size    After this you can get width and multiply it with 0 5 to get 50  of screen width    double width50   size width   0 5      But problem generally comes in height  by default when we use   double screenHeight   size height    The height we get is global height which includes StatusBar   notch   AppBar height  So  in order to get the left height of the device  we need to subtract padding height  StatusBar   notch  and AppBar height from total height  Here is how we do it    double abovePadding   MediaQuery of context  padding top  double appBarHeight   appBar preferredSize height  double leftHeight   screenHeight - abovePadding - appBarHeight    Now we can use following to get 50  of our screen in height    double height50   leftHeight   0 5
