In Eclipse (ADT plugin) there is a neat feature to preview xml layout in graphical form. I set <code>android:screenOrientation="landscape"</code> for my <code>Activity</code> and I thought it would be shown in this way. But the preview seems locked to portrait orientation only. Is there a way to change it?

There is a bar along the top that lets you customise the preview. Device, orientation etc. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MVElr.png" alt="enter image description here">
