First, let me start with I am new to Flutter and this is my first app.
I am running into an issue where I am getting the error:
════════ Exception caught by rendering library ═════════════════════════════════
A RenderFlex overflowed by 24 pixels on the bottom.
The relevant error-causing widget was
Column
lib/widgets/home_screen_cta.dart:42
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
For the 4 buttons on my home screen.
The weird part is the screen looks fine. No yellow and black bars or anything. This only happens when I transition from the login screen to the home screen. If I move around the app, this does not happen. I do notice it on another form once it is submitted (only for the first submission, not for any others). It also looks bad for the first animation but after that it looks fine.
I was wondering if I should just ignore this but it seems like that is a bad idea.
I have tried changing this to use many other options. This includes:
- Changed between Expanded and Flexible
- Tried using a container/SizedBox instead
- Tried to find another solution for the CTA Item but couldn't find anything that would do this look
At this point, I understand it's a overflow issue but there are no indications of an overflow appearing in the app.
I am trying to make the app responsive in nature so I believe I am doing okay for that. This RenderFlex overflow issue is really puzzling. The fact I don't see the yellow/black bars in the app makes me think this is happening during a transition and I wonder if I should be concerned about it?
Is there a way to control these animations? I really do not like them and I feel it's the transition causing the overflow issue... I'm a bit lost on this.
