How to add Icon on Circleavatar in Flutter

Last updated Nov 15, 2021

When you are designing a Profile Screen the most common design is a Circular Profile Image and a camera icon on top of it to change/update the Image So, in today's tutorial we will see how you can create an icon on top of CircleAvater in Flutter.

 

Let's start

Step 1: Create a new Flutter Application.

Step 2: CircleAvatar is the widget that can be used to create a circle user profile image in Flutter

for example: 

CircleAvatar(

        radius: 100,

        backgroundImage: AssetImage('assets/ff7.jpg'),

      ),

 

 

So now you can have a circular profile image in Flutter.

 

Step 3: Now Wrap the CircleAvatar with the widget called Stack and Warp Stack with a SizedBox with a fixed height.

SizedBox(

        height: 300,

        child: Stack(

          children: [

            const CircleAvatar(

              radius: 100,

              backgroundImage: AssetImage('assets/ff7.jpg'),

            ),

           

          ],

        ),

      ),

 

Now for the icon inside stack, we have to use a widget called Positioned it is a widget where you can decide position of the widget.and take iconButton as a child of the Position widget

for example: 

   Positioned(

                right: 10,

                top: 0,

                child: IconButton(

                  onPressed: () {},

                  icon: const Icon(

                    Icons.camera_alt,

                    size: 50,

                  ),

                ))

 

Complete example code to Create Icon on Circleavatar in Flutter

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:flutter_scrollable_text_demo/demo_app.dart';

 

void main() {

  runApp(MaterialApp(

    debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,

    home: Scaffold(

      appBar: AppBar(

        title: const Text(

          "Icon on CircleAvatar",

          style: TextStyle(

            color: Colors.white,

          ),

        ),

      ),

      body: const ProfileWidget(),

    ),

  ));

}

 

class ProfileWidget extends StatelessWidget {

  const ProfileWidget({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

 

  @override

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return Center(

      child: SizedBox(

        height: 300,

        child: Stack(

          children: [

            const CircleAvatar(

              radius: 100,

              backgroundImage: AssetImage('assets/ff7.jpg'),

            ),

            Positioned(

                right: 10,

                top: 0,

                child: IconButton(

                  onPressed: () {},

                  icon: const Icon(

                    Icons.camera_alt,

                    size: 50,

                  ),

                ))

          ],

        ),

      ),

    );

  }

}
