The error means you have to wrap the column inside a Material widget, you could place it as a body to the scaffold or place it as a home to Materialapp. for instance:

 `return MaterialApp(
       home:  new Column(
       mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
      children: [
       new TextField(
      controller: _controller,
      decoration: new InputDecoration(
        hintText: 'Type something',
      ),
    ),
      );`

or

`return Scaffold(
       body:  new Column(
       mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
      children: [
       new TextField(
      controller: _controller,
      decoration: new InputDecoration(
        hintText: 'Type something',
      ),
    ),
      );``
