Text element inside Center of SizedBox work much better way, below Sample code

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return RawMaterialButton(
      fillColor: Colors.green,
      splashColor: Colors.greenAccent,
      shape: new CircleBorder(),
      child: Padding(
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
        child: Row(
          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
          children: <Widget>[
            SizedBox(
              width: 100.0,
              height: 100.0,
              child: Center(
                child: Text(
                widget.buttonText,
                maxLines: 1,
                style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)

Text alignment center property setting only horizontal alignment.

I used below code to set text vertically and horizontally center.

Code:

      child: Center(
        child: Text(
          "Hello World",
          textAlign: TextAlign.center,
        ),
      ),

Overview: I used the Flex widget to center text on my page using the MainAxisAlignment.center along the horizontal axis. I use the container padding to create a margin space around my text.

  Flex(
            direction: Axis.horizontal,
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
                Container(
                    padding: EdgeInsets.all(20),
                    child:
                        Text("No Records found", style: NoRecordFoundStyle))
  ])

I think a more flexible option would be to wrap the Text() with Align() like so:

Align(
  alignment: Alignment.center, // Align however you like (i.e .centerRight, centerLeft)
  child: Text("My Text"),
),

Using Center() seems to ignore TextAlign entirely on the Text widget. It will not align TextAlign.left or TextAlign.right if you try, it will remain in the center.

If you are a intellij IDE user, you can use shortcut key Alt+Enter and then choose Wrap with Center and then add textAlign: TextAlign.center

                       child: Align(
                          alignment: Alignment.center,
                          child: Text(
                            'Text here',
                            textAlign: TextAlign.center,                          
                          ),
                        ),

This produced the best result for me.
