To rotate the Android Emulator, just disable the Num Lock key and and use the 7 and the 9 in the num pad to rotate the emulator and change its layout from portrait to landscape.
1, the emulator includes buttons for rotation. In the image below, the Rotate Left (shortcut: Ctrl + Left ) button is outlined in blue and the Rotate Right (shortcut: Ctrl + Right ) button is outlined in red. To change the orientation of the running application, it is necessary to click the icon outlined in red above.
Use Rotation Control to force screen orientation of Android devices. Once you've installed, open the app and just tap to turn it on. You can even start it when you restart your phone. This will help you when you don't want to open the again and again after every reboot.
See the Android documentation on controlling the emulator; it's Ctrl + F11 / Ctrl + F12.
On ThinkPad running Ubuntu, you may try CTRL + Left Arrow Key or Right Arrow Key
Officially it's Ctrl+F11 & Ctrl+F12 or KEYPAD 7 & KEYPAD 9.
In practise it's a bit quirky.
Specifically it's Left Ctrl+F11 and Left Ctrl+F12 to switch to previous orientation and next orientation respectively.
You have to release Ctrl before you can rotate again.
KEYPAD 7 and KEYPAD 9 only work with Num Lock OFF (so they're acting as Home & PageUp rather than 7 & 9).
The only orientations are vertically upright and rotated one quarter-turn anti-clockwise.
Maybe a bit too much info for such a simple question, but it drove me half-mad finding this out.
Note: This was tested on Android SDK R16 and a very old keyboard, modern keyboards may behave differently.
Yes. Thanks
