Flutter: how to prevent device orientation changes and force portrait?

Question

I would like to prevent my application from changing its orientation and force the layout to stick to \"portrait\".

In the main.dart, I put:

void mai         


        

Answer 1

Import package:flutter/services.dart, then

Put the SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations inside the Widget build() method.

Example:

  class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations([
        DeviceOrientation.portraitUp,
        DeviceOrientation.portraitDown,
      ]);
      return new MaterialApp(...);
    }
  }

Update

This solution mightn't work for some IOS devices as mentioned in the updated flutter documentation on Oct 2019.

They Advise to fixed the orientation by setting UISupportedInterfaceOrientations in Info.plist like this

    UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
