Impossible to rotate the emulator with android 4.4 [duplicate]
I've updated my sdk to the latest version (android 4.4) and I started the emulator, but now it seems not possible to rotate the screen with CTRL+F11, the screen change but all the applications don't change. I don't know if it's a related issue but I can see that even if I created a new emulator with menù hw button, now all the applications have the overflow button.
Solution 1:
These appear to be bugs in the Android 4.4 emulator. You may wish to track the issues that I filed regarding the orientation change bug and the overflow affordance bug.
Thanks for pointing these out!
Solution 2:
There appears to be a bug in the emulator as described by CommonsWare, however, if you desperately need to debug an app in landscape mode on the 4.4 emulator you can:
- Start the Camera app on the emulator which will rotate the screen.
- Now exit the app, the home screen should now be sideways.
- Pressing Ctrl + F11 will do the trick. (Ctrl + fn + F11 on mac).
Solution 3:
Until it is fixed I use this free application "Set Orientation". Install the apk into emulator using adb install.
