DeviceOrientationBuilder class

Builds a widget tree that can depend on the device's orientation.

The orientation is obtained from MediaQuery.orientationOf, which reflects the actual device orientation as reported by the platform. This ensures consistency with MediaQueryData.orientation and correct behavior on foldable devices and other scenarios where the device orientation may differ from layout dimensions.

This is different from OrientationBuilder, which determines orientation based on the parent widget's layout constraints (width vs height), not the device's physical orientation.

This example shows how to use DeviceOrientationBuilder to display different widgets based on the device orientation.

DeviceOrientationBuilder(
  builder: (BuildContext context, Orientation orientation) {
    return Text(orientation == Orientation.portrait
        ? 'Device is in Portrait'
        : 'Device is in Landscape');
  },
)

This widget requires a MediaQuery ancestor to obtain the orientation. Typically, this is provided by MaterialApp or WidgetsApp.
