Image Scale type center crop on flutter?

new Column(
        crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
        mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
        children: <Widget>[
        new Expanded(child: new Image.network(
            cover.img,fit: BoxFit.fitWidth,
        ),

        ),
        Text(cover.name),
      ]
    )

this works for me

Android ScaleType and BoxFit should match like this:

1. CENTER = none
2. CENTER_CROP = cover
3. CENTER_INSIDE = scaleDown
4. FIT_CENTER = contain (alignment.center)
5. FIT_END = contain (alignment.bottomright)
6. FIT_START = contain (alignment.topleft)
7. FIT_XY = fill

Ex :- Image.asset('assets/images/your_image.png',fit: BoxFit.fill)

So you should use Cover to achieve the CENTER_CROP result.

EDIT:

The problem should be crossAxisAlignment of the Column widget. Setting this property to crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch should fix your issue.
