How do I emulate changing the orientation of my android device?

Question

I'm working in Eclipse using the Android SDK and Android ADT plugin, and I have some functionality based on phone orientation that I want to test in the emulator (more specifially, I want to verify my solution to this problem).

How do I emulate the orientation change?

Yes, but apparently I was lousy at choosing my search terms. Thanks! — Tomas Aschan, Nov 29 '11 at 15:25

If you mean,switching during runtime,than:

.Switch to previous layout orientation (for example, portrait, landscape): KEYPAD_7, Ctrl-F11 .Switch to next layout orientation (for example, portrait, landscape): KEYPAD_9, Ctrl-F12

Is that what you need?
