Rotate android emulator display

Question

How can I rotate emulator display (not the complete emulator) because my Honeycomb display is tilted 90^o.

I tried pressing Ctrl + F12, Num 7 and 9, but the complete emulator is shown in portrait mode. I need to tilt only the display.

Make sure you say "left ctrl+F11". Otherwise it doesn't work for me. I am on a Win8 machine. – IgorGanapolsky Aug 23 '13 at 19:19

Just screen cannot be tilted. Phone itself turns to landscape and followed be screen rotation. See this for more help.

But I don't know I unknowingly pressed some keys before and the display got tilted, and now I'm not able to revert it back. – Srujan Simha Feb 07 '13 at 04:40

on your activity:-

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

or

on your manifest:-

<activity android:name=".MyActivity"  
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" />

is your emulator is rotated? when u press 7 in your keyboard.And also cneck your num lock is open – MuraliGanesan Feb 07 '13 at 04:41
This does not fix the issue if the emulator is up side down. This will rotate the display 90 degrees only – Serguei Fedorov Nov 15 '13 at 20:18
