You may use Flexible to resize the widgets in rows and columns . It's mainly used to adjust the space of the different child widgets while keeping the relation with their parent widgets. Meanwhile, Expanded changes the constraints sent to the children of rows and columns ; it helps to fill the available spaces there. Therefore, when you wrap your child in an Expanded widget it fills up the empty spaces.

The default (main axis) size of the column or row is the minimum size to contain its children. Normally these children have a fix height. For example, if the column has 3 children with 50 height, the column's height is going to be 150. But flexible widgets are an exception. Flexible widgets calculate their sizes by dividing the available space by their flex factor. If the column containing the flexible widget is not constrained, this available space is infinity. So infinity/flexFactor is still infinity. (In practice you get an exception instead of an infinitely sized widget) The solution for this problem is to put the column or row widget into a fix sized widget. For example: you want to mak
