How to Restrict App Orientation with Flutter DataTable?

In this article, we will show you how to restrict app orientation with Flutter DataTable.

Initialize the SfDataGrid with the necessary properties. To restrict the app orientation when using SfDataGrid, we use SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations. First, we ensure that Flutter bindings are initialized with WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(), then call SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations([DeviceOrientation.portraitUp]) to lock the app in portrait mode. This ensures that the app remains in the specified orientation before launching with runApp(MyApp());. If the orientation needs to be restricted for a specific page (e.g., MyHomePage), override didChangeDependencies in a StatefulWidget and reset it in dispose().

void main() {
  // Ensure Flutter binding is initialized.
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); 
  SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations([
    DeviceOrientation.portraitUp,
  ]).then((_) {
    runApp(MyApp());
  });
}
