How to add a license to showLicensePage in Flutter

Time:08-12

I have a Flutter project where I show the default page with all project licenses.

However I have copied a small piece of external code (which does not have a package), and I would like to add its license to all the others. Not having imported a package, I guess I have to do it manually.

Looking at the documentation, in theory I have to modify LicenseRegistry and add a license via addLicense(), but I didn't understand how to do it and how to enter the data.

onPressed: () {
  // addLicense:
  // MIT License
  // Copyright ... ... ... ...
  // Permission is hereby.......
  // ...........................
  // ...........................
  // etc...

  showLicensePage(
    context: context,
    applicationName: 'name',
    applicationVersion: 'version',
    applicationLegalese: 'copyright',
    
    applicationIcon: Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      child: Image.asset("assets/icon.png", width: 48, height: 48),
    ),
  );
}

If you git grep addLicense in the current Flutter SDK, you'll see a few dozen examples of how your package needs to look to add license material.

This code add a License to the LicenseRegistry (so to the LicensePage) (copied from https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/foundation/LicenseEntryWithLineBreaks-class.html):

LicenseRegistry.addLicense(() => Stream<LicenseEntry>.value(
    const LicenseEntryWithLineBreaks(<String>['my_library'], '''
