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?

See the Android documentation on controlling the emulator; it's Ctrl+F11/Ctrl+F12.
ReplyDeleteYes. Thanks
ReplyDeleteCtrl + F11 for Portrait
and
Ctrl + F12 for Landscape
Officially it's Ctrl+F11 & Ctrl+F12 or KEYPAD_7 & KEYPAD_9.
ReplyDeleteIn 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.
