How to Display Text Over the Images in Flutter?

To display Text over an image we can use Stack Widget. Code Snippet will look like the below:

Stack(
    children: <Widget>[
        yourImageWidget,
        Center(child: Text("someText")),
    ]
)

PhotosList class will have a code snippet like the below:

PhotosList({Key key, this.photos}) : super(key: key);

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return _buildBody();
}

Widget _buildBody() {
    return new ListView.builder(
            itemCount: photos.length,
            itemBuilder: (context,int){
            return Stack(
                children: <Widget> [
                    new CachedNetworkImage(imageUrl: photos[int].url),
                    Center(child: Text(photos[int].title)),
                ]
            );
            }
        );
    }
}

You can also try the below way:

Container(
         child: Center(child: Text('test'),),
         height: 190.0,
         width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width - 100.0,
         decoration: BoxDecoration(
         borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(5),
         color: Colors.blue,
         image: DecorationImage(
                image: new NetworkImage(
                "https://storage.googleapis.com/gd-wagtail-prod-assets/original_images/MDA2018_inline_03.jpg"
                  ),
          fit: BoxFit.fill
              )
                 ),
              ),

Container Child Let’s understand with an example like the below:

return Container(
      child: const Center(
        child: Text(
          'This is My Text',
          style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontSize: 30),
        ),
      ),
      height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
      width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
      decoration: const BoxDecoration(
          image: DecorationImage(
              image: NetworkImage(
               "https://www.akamai.com/content/dam/site/im-demo/perceptual-standard.jpg?imbypass=true"),
              fit: BoxFit.fitHeight)),

We will get output like the below:
