Android AVD rotate Portrait/Landscape How?


I am new to Android development.

I know if you change a android phone from portrait to landscape sometimes the app relays its self out on the screen.. so how do I simulate rotating a phone with the AVD? On the Blackberry emulators there's a button in the menu to turn the phone, but I can't find it or any option on the Android ones?



What am I missing?

  1. See the Android documentation on controlling the emulator; it's Ctrl+F11/Ctrl+F12.

  3. Officially it's Ctrl+F11 & Ctrl+F12 or KEYPAD_7 & KEYPAD_9.

    In practise it's a bit quirky.


    Specifically it's Left Ctrl+F11 and Left Ctrl+F12 to switch to previous orientation and next orientation respectively.
    You have to release Ctrl before you can rotate again.
    KEYPAD_7 and KEYPAD_9 only work with NumLock OFF (so they're acting as Home & PageUp rather than 7 & 9).
    The only orientations are vertically upright and rotated one quarter-turn anti-clockwise.


    Maybe a bit too much info for such a simple question, but it drove me half-mad finding this out.

    Note: This was tested on Android SDK R16 and a very old keyboard, modern keyboards may behave differently.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
