Error cannot provide both a color and a decoration in Flutter container

Question

Hi Guys,

I have one Container in Flutter code. Inside this code, I have used the BoxDecoration method. But Flutter BoxDecoration’s background color overrides the Container's background color. I have attached the script below.

new Container(
  color: Colors.pink,
  decoration: new BoxDecoration(
    borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(16.0),
    color: Colors.green,
  ),
);

Hi@akhtar,

The color and decoration arguments cannot both be supplied, since it would potentially result in the decoration drawing over the background color. To supply a decoration with color, you can use the below code.

decoration: BoxDecoration(color: color).
