I'm developing an Android app on a tablet. I was trying to use the emulator for development. But, the orientation, when the app is running on a tablet, is not fixed.
For example: when a button is attached to the bottom of a screen layout (let's say MainActivity), and I'm trying to press on it, the press will be affect the center of the screen (vertically).
Therefore, I can't test any button pressed or other views. Does anyone knows how to fix that? Can't find any useful reference online.

I am running an app built in Flutter on Pax A920 device with Android 7.1.2 installed.
Whenever the keyboard appears, the screen jumps down, and shows parts of the current view above the screen. When I dismiss the keyboard, everything goes back to normal.
This behaviour can be seen in the photo below. Sorry for the image quality, I cannot take screenshots on this device.
Photo of the unexpected behaviour
I cannot really show any code examples since this happens every time the keyboard appears, from different screens with different navigation stacks.
This works fine on iOS devices and on the Android emulators I have tried, so clearly this has something to do with the device/OS I'm running this on.
Has anyone experienced this or something similar and has an idea of how to prevent this?
I'm new to android studio and trying to create a simple app with multiple tabs that displays different graphs. I've managed to plot my graphs in the app fine but for some reason the graph keeps going out of the screen. I'm pretty sure the screen i have is 5.46" and i have that in my android studio settings (im also using the constraint widget to try and keep everything in place) but it still goes out of border. I'm thinking its possible this issue is happening because i have my orientation set to landscape in the 'orientation preview' button. If the issue is with the landscape then how do i convert my app to landscape?

And this is what it displays on my device:
By the way, the device I'm using is not an andriod phone or tablet, its a screen with andriod installed on it.
So, I'm a beginner developing an android app with eclipse.
When I launch it with Eclipse (to the real device) it goes as expected, but when I launch it after, from the device menu like any other app, it goes different.
The app is supposed to red out some imagebuttons, and grey out after pressing six of them. The thing is, when I launch it from the phone it immediately greys them out, not beginning with the red. I have no clue what it might be, should I post the code part? Does it make a difference?
So I've searched for an answer but found nothing. Basically, whenever I run a simple little menu app for android tablets using the eclipse android emulator 3.0, only about 1/6th of the app is shown (the top center piece, if the tablet is held landscape.) I've done tutorials using the 2.2 emulator and they work just fine, but whenever I launch the 3.0, the app (and only the app - the android home runs fine) just doesn't appear. When I look at it in the main.xml layout folder, the graphical layout shows it exactly the way I want it to appear.
Is this a problem with the emulator? This can't be a common problem, otherwise I'm sure I would have found a solution by now, but there must be some switch or something that I'm not seeing that's making the app appear as if it were running on a phone and not a tablet.
Do you have a low resolution set for your 3.0 AVD? If you run the AVD Manager, what resolution does it show?
I created the Hello World android application, which is automatically created by the ADT plugin for eclipse. I noticed that when I reorient in the emulator, the hello world application properly automatically reorients from portrait to landscape, but not the other way. How do I fix this?
This is an issue with recent editions of the emulator. It is not a problem with your code. You will need to cause some other program to take over the screen, then return to your app. For example, you can press the green call button to simulate placing a phone call, then press BACK.
