How to Rotate Widget in flutter?

Last updated Sep 14, 2021

In this flutter example we cover how to rotate flutter widget. Sometimes while design ui using widgets we may require to display widget with some angle, but how we can display widget with angle. To display widget with some angle we will use the Flutter RotatedBox Widget.

We can  also rotate widget by using RotationTransition widget, while using this widget it will make animate for rotation of the widget. 

 

Let's check a simple code snippet for RotationTransition

RotationTransition(
  turns: new AlwaysStoppedAnimation(10 / 360),
  child: new Text("Rotate Widget"),
)

 

Flutter Rotate widget with RotatedBox

Rotate widget by specific  angle we will use RotatedBox widget

RotatedBox(quarterTurns:turns,
  child: AspectRatio(
    aspectRatio: _controller.value.aspectRatio,
    child:  Stack(
      alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
      children: [

        VideoPlayer(_controller),
        _ControlsOverlay(controller: _controller,onClickCallback:(){
          setState(() {
            if( turns==0)
              turns=1;
            else turns=0;
          });
        }),
        VideoProgressIndicator(_controller, allowScrubbing: true),

      ],

    ),),
)

 

Here we are  loading the RotatedBox widget with adding video player widget. When user want to view the video we will rotate the widget by 180 degrees, this will applied by change the quarterTurns:turns value.
