I want to know that how can I set a width to match parent layout width

new Container(
  width: 200.0,
  padding: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 16.0),
  child: new RaisedButton(
    child: new Text(
        "Submit",
        style: new TextStyle(
          color: Colors.white,
        )
    ),
    colorBrightness: Brightness.dark,
    onPressed: () {
      _loginAttempt(context);
    },
    color: Colors.blue,
  ),
),

I know about little bit on Expanded widget but Expanded expands view to both direction, i dont know how to do it.

The correct solution would be to use the SizedBox.expand widget, which enforces its child to match its parent's size.

SizedBox.expand(
  child: RaisedButton(...),
)

There are many alternatives, which allows for more or less customization:

SizedBox(
  width: double.infinity,
  // height: double.infinity,
  child: RaisedButton(...),
)

or using a ConstrainedBox

ConstrainedBox(
    constraints: const BoxConstraints(minWidth: double.infinity),
    child: RaisedButton(...),
)
