How to implement app bar action text instead of action icon in Flutter?

Question

I am trying to implement appbar in flutter application. I am able to add an action icon which closes the app. I am willing to show username beside the close action icon. I tried to add new Text() in the action widget array in appar section. but not able to align it. Is there any way to add action text directly?

Code:

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    //build a form widget using the form key we created above
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text(StringRef.appName),
        actions: <Widget>[

          new Container(),

        new Text(
        userName,
        textScaleFactor: 1.5,
        style: new TextStyle(
          fontSize: 12.0,
          color: Colors.white,
        ),
      ),

      new IconButton(
        icon: new Icon(Icons.close),
        tooltip: 'Closes application',
        onPressed: () => exit(0),
      ),
        ],
      ),
}

Wrap your Text widget inside Center widget as

new Center(
    new Text(
        userName,
        textScaleFactor: 1.5,
        style: new TextStyle(
          fontSize: 12.0,
          color: Colors.white,
        ),
   ),
)
