How do I change screen orientation in the Android emulator?

Question

How do we change emulator screen orientation to landscape or portrait?

Answer 1

With Android Studio:

Windows: Ctrl+Left-Arrow and Ctrl+Right-Arrow

Answer 2

In the updated emulator you don't have to remember the keyboard shortcuts -- they have added a side panel to the right side of the window. You can change the screen orientation by clicking either of the "rotate" buttons in that side panel.

Just click on Rotate button to change the landscape to portrait and vice versa.
