I have a very simple TextField, where I have textAlign: TextAlign.center inside (as advised in other answer here). However, hint text is not horizontally centered, whereas input text is centered. (see attached picture) I wonder why.. Somebody please help.enter image description here

Code:

Container(
  margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 18.0),
  child: TextField(
    textAlign: TextAlign.center,
    decoration: InputDecoration(
      border: OutlineInputBorder(),
      labelText: 'time',
    ),
  ),
  width: 80,
)

You have to use hintText instead of labelText:

Container(
  margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 18.0),
  child: TextField(
    textAlign: TextAlign.center,
    decoration: InputDecoration(
      border: OutlineInputBorder(),
      hintText: 'time', //instead of labelText
    ),
  ),
  width: 80,
)
