How do I simulate rotating the device with Android emulator?

I am running Android via the SDK emulator on Ubuntu. When you rotate some devices, they reset the layout to match (from portrait to landscape, or landscape to portrait). How can I simulate this on the emulator?

(Is this the same as simulating the accelerometer, for example with OpenIntents' SensorSimulator, or is there more to it?)

Solution

  • you can use KEYPAD_7, Ctrl-F11 ,KEYPAD_9 or Ctrl-F12 to move to the next orientation
