landscape mode not working in Android Studio Emulator?

Question

The following sample is from the project https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-navigation, and layout file is from https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-navigation/tree/master/app/src/main/res

I test it in Android Studio Emulator with both portrait and landscape mode, you can see the result at A1.png and A2.png.

It seems that landscape mode doesn't work in Android Studio Emulator.

I test the same code in real mobile phone, you can see the result at B1.png and B2.png

The landscape mode works well in real mobile phone, what problem with Android Studio Emulator when I use landscape mode?

BTW, I have read the article Switching to landscape mode in Android Emulator

I test by your way, it seems that the emulator with landscape mode in Android Studio 3.5 doesn't work well yet.

The menu icon in real mobile phone with landscape mode isn't displayed in the emulator with landscape mode, you can see C1.png, why? and B2.png is real mobile phone with landscape mode

Answer 1

Because you need to set also the rotation inside the device in the bottom right part after you click the rotation left/ rotation right in the emulator control.
