enter image description here

You can try this logic, this way https:// will always be shown to the user, if user enters a url without https:// we are good, and if a user enters url with https:// we are again good. 

Column(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
  children: <Widget>[
    TextField(
      controller: _controller,
      decoration: InputDecoration(prefixText: "https://"),
    ),
    RaisedButton(
      child: Text("Submit"),
      onPressed: () {
        String text = _controller.text.toString();
        if (!text.contains("https://")) {
          text = "https://" + text;
        }
        // text here will always have https://
      },
    ),
  ],
),

As far as I understand, you need something like masked edit, look here: https://github.com/benhurott/flutter-masked-text/blob/master/README.md
