Android emulator - Screen rotation

Question

I would like to test the rotation of a phone on the emulator, I see everywhere that we have to use Ctrl+F11 but it only rotates the image of the emulator and does not launch a configuration change event or redraw the activity.

Here is what I have with Ctrl+F11 :

So, what do I have to use to simulate a real rotation ?

Answer 1

Also you can do:

disable accelerometer controlling rotation - just do this once

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:accelerometer_rotation --bind value:i:0

rotate landscape:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:1

rotate portrait:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:0

rotate upside down landscape:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system  --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:3

rotate upside down portrait:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system  --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:2

If you have WRITE_SETTINGS permission you can write thru the content provider in java code as well.
