Make the whole GestureDetector area tappable
Need a tappable widget without the Material splash? Use GestureDetector instead of InkWell. But be careful: by default, it only takes taps on its child. If the child is a Row with an icon and a text, only the icon and the text are tappable. The padding and the gaps between them do nothing:
Fix it with one line:
GestureDetector(
behavior: HitTestBehavior.opaque,
onTap: () {},
child: ...,
)behavior has three options:
deferToChild (the default): only the child takes taps, as in the video. A Container takes taps on its whole box only if it has a color.
opaque: the whole box is tappable. Widgets behind it don't get the tap.
translucent: the whole box is tappable, and widgets behind it get the tap too. Two overlapping detectors can both fire.
Make opaque your default. Use translucent only when stacked widgets should both respond.
