This is not a duplicate of Switching to landscape mode in Android Emulator because in that question the platform is a Mac and I am using an ubuntu. I am not able to switch to landscape mode in my emulator- I tried all the solutions from that question,that is using keypad 7 or 9 from the emulator keyboard or pressing ctrl-F11. I guess I am missing something...
Thanks.
Edit: I am using Android 2.2 as my platform in my emulator in eclipse indigo.
The proper keys are Ctrl-F11 or Keypad-7 (Tested on Ubuntu 11.04, using Eclipse Indigo and Andriod 2.2) See documentation at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html
It is possible you have a system keyboard shortcut bound to Ctrl-F11. Or that your numlock key is in the wrong state preventing the keypad shortcut from working.
Also, if you launch the camera app the display will rotate to landscape:
I/WindowManager( 70): Setting rotation to 0, animFlags=1
The shortcut does not work in my system (Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit). But I can rotate the emulator sending the keys with xdotool.
If the emulator window title has the text "Galaxy" you can send a CTRL+F11 with:
xdotool search --name "Galaxy" key "ctrl+F11"
CTRL-Fll and CTRL-F12 ended up not working for me either, the same to be used for some KDE short cuts. Keypad 7 and 9 worked for me, in KDE.
here is the answer. I am sure you all have used right Ctrl, so it is not working with right Ctrl but it is working with left Ctrl. I have tested it on ubuntu. Check it for yours. and please let me know.
I'm on Fedora with KDE and frustratingly enough, KDE is sucking up and and I can't figure out where to turn it off. Right or left doesn't make any difference. On my laptop I can get keypad 7 by pressing my FN key and pressing 7 and that works fine. Oh, wait, one of my desktop effects was using (the rotating cube). I turned that off. I still can't figure out about
