[android] Orientation.unlockAllOrientations () does not work

I’m using react-navigation, In the previous screen, I used lockToPortrait () to prevent landscape.

In the next screen, I was working on unlockAllOrientations () to make the landscape change possible.

But unlockAllOrientations () does not work on Android! The addDeviceOrientationListener obviously changes, but the UI does not change.

Is there a way to solve it? I need help

The problem only occurs with Android. iOS works fine.

lock landscape screen

componentDidMount = () => {
    this.getFeedData();
    setTimeout(() => {
      Orientation.lockToPortrait();
    }, 10);
  };

I was going to go to the next screen and unlock it using unlockAllOrientations ().

unlock screen

componentDidMount = () => {
    BackHandler.addEventListener('hardwareBackPress', this.handleBackPress);
    Orientation.addDeviceOrientationListener(this.onOrientationDidChange);
    Orientation.unlockAllOrientations();
  }

android version

buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
minSdkVersion = 19
compileSdkVersion = 28
targetSdkVersion = 28
supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"

I run it with version 8.1 Android emulator. react-native-orientation-locker, use 1.1.1 version now

found!

In styles.xml on Android <item name = "android: windowIsTranslucent"> true </ item>

If you comment out this, it works perfectly on Android.

Hi guys I am using react-native camera for barCode scan. When componentMount I lock the device orientation into Landscape. When componentWillUnmount I used unlockAllOrientations. But the device remains the Landscape only in IOS. In android it works fine. Anyway to fix this in IOS.
