Android - Emulator in landscape mode, screen does not rotate

Question

When I switch to landscape mode (NUMPAD 7 or CTRL+F11) the emulator rotates the screen to landscape orientation but the Android OS and none

Answer 1

As of API 29, it stops working randomly for no reason. Need to shutdown and restart emulator, then it works again.

Answer 2

On API level 25 (no skin) it worked after going into the setting, searching for "rotate" and toggling both related settings off and on again.

Answer 3

Pixel 2 - API 28 (Android 9)

I had to do this to fix it.

• Open AVD Manager
• Select Pixel 2 - API X
• Edit
• Show Advanced Settings
• Untick "Enable keyboard Input"

Only this has worked for me.

Answer 4

As of mid 2015 the issue is still open and logged in the android bug tracker here's the link you can check it out https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61671

None of the above solutions worked for me and i am using Android 4.4.2 emulator. As a work around in your graphical layout you can change the orientation and check it out.

Answer 5

Is the accelerometer property of the emulator set to True? please check it. if not, set it to true. it should help. its working fine on mine.

Open AVD Manager -> GoTo 'Device Definitions' tab -> Select an existing AVD -> Clone

Answer 6

In my case it was solved by disabling the "Hardware keyboard present" checkbox in the "Edit Android Virtual Device (AVD)" window.
