How to make second container? - android-studio

Question

I recently started programming in flutter. I want to add second container in my app. When i duplicate the container code in my class, i get an error dead code in this part of the text. Could you please help me with adding the second container?
NewsBoxFavourit(this._num);
#override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() => MyFormState();
}
class MyFormState extends State {
final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Expanded(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Text('Выполнено кругов'),
TextFormField(validator: (value){if (value.isEmpty) return 'Введите количество кругов';}),
],
),
);
}
}
class NewsBox extends StatelessWidget {
final String _title;
final String _text;
String _imageurl;
int _num;
NewsBox(this._title, this._text, {String imageurl, int num = 0,}) {
_imageurl = imageurl;
_num = num;
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if (_imageurl != null && _imageurl != '') return new Container(
color: Colors.black12,
height: 100.0,
child: Row(children: [
Image.network(_imageurl, width: 100.0, height: 100.0, fit: BoxFit.cover,),
Expanded(child: Container(padding: EdgeInsets.all(5.0), child: Column(children: [
Text('Дата'),
TextFormField(validator: (value){if (value.isEmpty) return 'Введите количество кругов';}),
Expanded(child: Text(_text, softWrap: true, textAlign: TextAlign.justify,))
]
))
), NewsBoxFavourit(_num,)
])
);
return Container(
color: Colors.black12,
height: 100.0,
child: Row(children: [
Expanded(child: Container(padding: EdgeInsets.all(5.0), child: Column(children: [
Text(_title, style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0), overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis),
Expanded(child: Text(_text, softWrap: true, textAlign: TextAlign.justify,))
]
))
), NewsBoxFavourit(_num,)
])
);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if (_imageurl != null && _imageurl != '') return new Container(
color: Colors.black12,
height: 100.0,
child: Row(children: [
Image.network(_imageurl, width: 100.0, height: 100.0, fit: BoxFit.cover,),
Expanded(child: Container(padding: EdgeInsets.all(5.0), child: Column(children: [
Text('Дата'),
TextFormField(validator: (value){if (value.isEmpty) return 'Введите количество кругов';}),
Expanded(child: Text(_text, softWrap: true, textAlign: TextAlign.justify,))
]
))
), NewsBoxFavourit(_num,)
])
);
return Container(color:Colors.black12,
height: 100.0,
child: Row(children: [
Expanded(child: Container(padding: EdgeInsets.all(5.0), child: Column(children: [
Text(_title, style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0), overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis),
Expanded(child: Text(_text, softWrap: true, textAlign: TextAlign.justify,))
]
))
), NewsBoxFavourit(_num,)
])
);
}
}
Please, explain why it does not execute the code? How to make second Conteiner? What i need to do with dead code?

Answer 1

Flutter does not work like what your code is showing. Your NewsBox custom widget can only have 1 build method. If you want 2 containers in a single widget then try using Column, Row, Stack and many other widgets. These can be found under the Multi-child layout widgets in the flutter documentation. I'd assume you'd want the Stack widget though I do not know what design you'd like to achieve.
