Android emulator not rotating to landscape

Question

When i try to switch the orientation of my emulator, the emulator window rotates and the orientation of the emulator screen stays as it were. Can anyone tell me what is the reason for this?I have tried all the answers from StackOverflow and nothing seem to help

Answer 1

Check in your manifest if there is android:screenOrientation

    <activity
        android:name="com.your.activity"
        android:screenOrientation="sensorPortrait" >
    </activity>

If this is the case, delete the lines.

Answer 2

Is only your application is not rotating or other applications in the emulator also not rotating?

If only your application is not rotating, then there must be android:screenOrientation parameter set somewhere in the manifest file.

If all other apps on the emulator are also not rotating, no problem with your application, delete and create a new emulator..

Answer 3

try pressing numpad 7 ... it will rotate your emulator screen.

Answer 4

With the android L emulator you can go into landscape by opening your app, then opening the camera app (you will need to set an emulated camera in AVD) record a video. Then press ctr-f12 of 11. In the camera app click the video thumbnail and play it back. The video should go to landscape. Then press the multitasking button and multitask into your app. DO NOT GO TO THE HOME SCREEN OR YOU WILL HAVE TO GO INTO THE CAMERA APP, GO TO LANDSCAPE AND REPLAY THE VIDEO! please let me know if this works for any other android emulator versions.
