Example code for adding an image doesn't actually show the image #9901
Description
I just learnt how to add an image to my app from https://flutter.io/assets-and-images/.
After pasting the example code from the "Loading images" section into my app, the app didn't actually show an image (I think I now understand why that is). It might be more useful/satisfying to include code in the example that actually shows the image when copied to get people started quicker. I ended up using new Image.asset('assets/sunset.jpg') to verify that the image would actually load in my app.

This is what my
buildmethod looks like:HansMuller commentedon May 9, 2017
Perhaps if the assets-and-images section pointed at a small working "sample app" in addition to providing code fragments, you'd have had less trouble (#9912).

Talking w/ @goderbauer root cause is the parent of the Image widget needs to actually have a size in order to display the image. So the code snippet for the build() method needs to include a parent-with-size.

The
Imagewidget should size itself to the size of the image by default.zoechi commentedon Dec 3, 2018
