A RenderFlex overflowed by Infinity pixels on the bottom

Question

I have a very simple control where I am trying to show a DropdownButton with a couple of TextFields .
When the app runs in the emulator, I get an error saying

BOTTOM OVERFLOWED BY Infinity PIXELS 

The Stack Trace hints at the issue and points to some relevant documentation, but being very new to Flutter, I'm not sure what needs to be changed.

I have tried many of the suggestions based on the questions about similar errors, but have not had any luck.

Stack Trace:

The code here has has the TextFields removed for brevity as the error occurs with or without them.

Just try to wrap Container with fixed width around the DropdownButton.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  titleController.text = todo.title;
  descriptionController.text = todo.description;
  TextStyle textStyle = Theme.of(context).textTheme.title;

  return Padding(
    padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 35, right: 10, left: 10),
    child: Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        automaticallyImplyLeading: false,
        title: Text('Add New'), //todo.title
      ),
      body: Container(
        height: 200,
        child: Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            Container(
              // don't forget about height
              height: 200,
              child: DropdownButton<String>(
                isExpanded: true,
                items: _priorites.map((String value) {
                  return DropdownMenuItem<String>(
                      value: value, child: Text(value));
                }).toList(),
                style: textStyle,
                value: "Low",
                onChanged: null,
              ),
            )
          ],
        ),
      ),
    ),
  );
}

I made this mistake while working with "heigth:MediaQuery.of(context).size.heigth" --> A renderflex overflow and I handle it with Expanded

        Expanded(
        child: Container(
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.deepOrangeAccent),
            height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
            child: Text("this is handle")))

#A RenderFlex overflowed by Infinity pixels on the bottom.#

OnTap Event Handling in Flutter#

Routing form one Widget to Other#

This problem come in picture because of the bottom widget to which you don't set limit like height or something and it goes out of the screen. Because of that you are getting an error like A RenderFlex overflowed by Infinity pixels on the bottom.

To Solve the problem you can Wrap with SingleChildScrollView() widget if adding height is not working properly

SingleChildScrollView( 
  child:
    //Text('Do not have Account ?'),
    GestureDetector(

     child: Text('Do not have Account ?'),
     onTap: (){
       **Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_)=> Register()));**
     },
   ),

),
