Android AVD rotate Portrait/Landscape How?

Image
By User


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.

    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.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

By User
Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
