It's a bug with the 4.4 emulator. – rperryng Apr 11 '14 at 15:52

There is no way to solve it? – Ragnar Apr 11 '14 at 15:53

As far as I know, the only emulator that works well in both orientations (changes from portrait to lanscape and vice versa) is the 2.2 emulator. – Phantômaxx Apr 11 '14 at 15:55

1Try using a Genymotion emulator. it is wayyyy faster and doesn't have this rotation bug (there's even webcam support) http://www.genymotion.com/ – rperryng Apr 11 '14 at 15:56

I found this app "Set Orientation" that allows you to force your device into a particular screen orientation. Supports all orientations, which on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and above includes reverse (upside-down) and sensor-based orientations.
I hope this help people with the same problem. It was useful for me.

It's a bug on emulator. API level 19 (4.4) not support screen orientation: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61671
Try change the API level target on your AVD settings. API level 18 (4.3) works fine for me.

This so link provides some way to fix this bug in the emulator like:
1- disabling the "Hardware keyboard present" checkbox in the "Edit Android Virtual Device (AVD)" window.
2- removing the "Keyboard lid support" option in the settings of the hardwere virtual machine
3- setting accelerometer property of the emulator set to True.
OR Problem are not solve , try this.... Num Lock is "OFF" & Press (Keypad 7 or Keypad 9)
etc.
Found the bug still in emulator running API 27. What worked for me: Advanced Settings -> Keyboard -> Enable keyboard input (disable)
