Impossible to rotate the emulator with android 4.4 [duplicate]
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!
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 thescreen.
- Now exit the app, the home screen should now besideways.
- Pressing Ctrl + F11 will do the trick. (Ctrl + fn + F11 on mac).
Until it is fixed I use this free application "Set Orientation". Install the apk into emulator using adb install.
