How to automatically size Icons in Flutter to be as big as possible

You can use LayoutBuilder to dynamically get the parent size during build.

A working example :

void main() {
  runApp(new MaterialApp(
    home: new TestIcon(),
  ));
}

class TestIcon extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Container(
      color: Colors.white,
      child: new LayoutBuilder(builder: (context, constraint) {
        return new Icon(Icons.access_alarms, size: constraint.biggest.height);
      }),
    );
  }
}
