Flutter expand row inside of a column

November 9, 2022

I have the following layout:

Row -> 
  Column
  Padding ->
     Column ->
         Row ->// this one is only taking as much space as it needs
           Text
           Image
         Text
         Row

I need the row in the second column to take the whole width of the column it is wrapped in.
No matter how much I look for the answer wrapping different widgets into Flexible and Expanded doesn’t help.

here is the code:

Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
        child: Row(
          children: [
            Column(
              children:  [
                CircleAvatar(
                  radius: 25,
                  child: Image(
                    image: getCategoryImage(task.type),
                  ),
                )
              ],
            ),
            Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8.0),
              child: Column(
                crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                children: [
                  Row(
                    // mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
                    mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
                    children: [
                      Text(task.title, style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineMedium,),
                      const Image(
                          width: 20, image: AssetImage("assets/icons/task/tickbox.png"))
                    ],
                  ),
                  Text(generateBirdList(task.assignedBirds), style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.titleSmall,),
                  Row(
                    children: [

                    ],
                  )
                ],
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),

Container(
        color: Colors.amber,
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
        child: Row(

              color: Colors.blueAccent,
              child: CircleAvatar(

                    )
