I'm using Android Studio 1.5.1. Emulator API 19 (4.4.2) works in Windows 7 x64. I want screen off to test my app. To do it I press F7, but screen is on as before. Also power button (right side of emulator windows) and volume up/down buttons (left side) don't work. How can I turn off the emulator's screen?
It seems that default shortcut for power button has changed from F7 to Ctrl+P.
Please note that by default emulator does not have any screen lock set.

I've just update my Android Studio together with the Android Emulator to the newest version. After I click "run" in my project and selected my emulator, it boots up like normal. However, when the app pops up, I can hear some strange noise produced. I've made sure that I didn't set the app to play any sound. Link to the strange noise
Android Emulator: Galaxy Nexus API 27
Android Studio Version: 3.0.1
Turn off Touch Sounds on the Android device/emulator.
You can find it under Settings -> Sound & notification -> Other sounds -> Touch sounds
That sound was actually the notification sound of the emulator. Since my app is in landscape mode, it needed me to configure the keyboard in landscape mode. So the notification came out.
On Android 10/11/12 emulators, this odd "sparkle" sound happens when rotating the device to landscape or portrait. Here's how to turn it off:
Launch your Android 10 or 11 emulator (API 29 or 30)
Drag and pull down the notification bar at the top (screenshot A)
You should see a "Configure physical keyboard" notification from the status bar. Drag it to the right slowly and by a small amount, to reveal the settings cog icon ️️⚙️ (screenshot B)
Press the Settings cog icon ⚙️ to reveal the expanded options (screenshot C)
Click on "Silent - No sound or vibration", then click "Apply/Done"
Optional: If a "Configure physical keyboard" notification still appears, swipe it to the right, to remove it.
Another way - Android 10/11
On the Home screen, swipe up to reveal all the apps
Settings ➔ Apps & Notifications ➔ Notifications ➔ Android System ➔ Physical Keyboard (and/or Virtual Keyboard) ➔ Switch it off or click it and set it to Silent.
Another way - Android 12 (API 31)
On the Home screen, swipe up to reveal all the apps
Settings ➔ Notifications ➔ App Settings ➔ Click the '3 dots' menu at the top ➔ Show System (to reveal system apps in the list) ➔ Android System ➔ Physical Keyboard (and/or Virtual Keyboard) ➔ Switch it off or click it and set it to Silent.
Now there are no more annoying noises when changing the emulator's orientation.
Try using emulators, like genymotion or bluestacks. They are pretty good. On the other side, in my experience, Android Studio emulators are very slow and buggy.
It can be due to multiple reasons:
One of the reason is
If you turn your laptop Bluetooth ON. If that is the case, turn Bluetooth off and restart the emulator.
ive installed genymotion V2.5 emulator on Windows 8 (on Eclipse luna 4.4.0)
and when im runnig an app with two screen rotation
,i wanna rotate Emulator Screen but rotation button on the emulator doesnt work at all
Two ways :
Button in the sidebar
CTRL + F11
Edit : And if it does not work, it's surely because the application in foreground is orientation locked.
AVD won't change orientation. All answers I saw says numpad 7, numpad 9, ctrl + F11, ctrl+ F12, even the link from developer.android. But my AVD only goes sideways, but not the screen orientation itself. I want to simulate the exact change orientation of a device, not just the normal avd looking sideways. Here's a pic of what I mean:
Even checked Auto rotate screen on android settings sideways. But still no. Lol.
It seems that there is a bug for AVD with Android 4.4. To fix the problem you may install Android 4.3 over the SDK Manager and then switch the target of your emulated device to Android 4.3.
Looks like your system settings are simply set to not rotate the screen. Go to Android settings -> Display and enable "Auto-rotate screen"
I got it working by changing the skin. WXGA800 worked for me
After I installed HAXM and enabled HOST GPU, my screen for my virtual machine looks a bit off. The physical menu bar is now on the top, and to click any button you have to hover approx 10px above the button. So to click the top HOME button, i have to click 10px above the BOTTOM of the screen because the screen seems to be wrapped. Any help?
Try not to create it from snapshot. If it doesn't help re-create it.

androidprotip : Configuring an AVD to use graphics acceleration
You need Android SDK Tools rev 17 or higher, then start by creating a new AVD with the target value of Android 4.0.3 (API Level 15), using SDK rev 3 and System Image rev 2 (or higher).
If you want to have graphics acceleration enabled by default for this AVD, in the Hardware section of the AVD configuration, click New, select GPU emulation and set the value to Yes.
You need to make sure to hit enter when you change the value in the list before closing the dialog.
You can also turn on graphics acceleration at run time:
emulator -avd -gpu on
I just downloaded the Android 3.0 SDK and booted up an emulator with it. I rotated the emulator to portrait mode with Ctrl-F12 and then opened and the activity that was build with 2.2 and the whole emulator is upside down ( as in the emulator is upside down, home buttons are on the top and screen is upside down) . Is there a way to rotate it the other way or am I missing something entirely? ( I have already tried doing Ctrl-F11 or the Num pad, same result)
open your androidmanifest file. In the application tab select an activity. Then scroll down to screen orientation and select sensorPortait in the drop-down menu. It's only available from api-level 9 (2.3.1) and higher.
Well , there can be one of the 2 cases ,
1 - I misinterpreted your question , in which case i am extremely sorry
2 - The problem has been solved in the latest download of the android 3.0 Sdk(i just downloaded 1 right now )
Here , i am posting the screen shot of my AVD running 3.0 and a 2.2 Hello World Activity .
I had this same issue when I was forcing portrait by setting screen orientation to "portrait" in the manifest file. When I made my app support rotation, and switched screen orientation back to "unspecified" the issue went away.
If you don't want to support rotation, just change the manifest while you test, and before you open the app, rotate the emulator so it opens in portrait.
I encountered this problem on running the Android SDK (Eclipse) on an Intel (Core i5) Mac. I was able to fix it by disabling the "Use Host GPU" option for the AVD.
I had the same problem, in my case when I rotated the emulator to portrait, the "desktop" would show correct. However the app would run upside down.
(This worked for v4 Ice Cream)
So, in portrait mode, in the bottom right corner of the emulator, select the settings and set "Auto-rotate screen" to OFF.
Run the app now and it will show correct.
Some of the emulator targets like 4.4 (API level 19) and 2.3 have a bug. Change your emulator to target version 4.2 or 4.3 and try to change the orientation or try to disable hardware keyboard.
The same thing just happened to me with a KitKat emulator whenever I setup the AVD with a default orientation of Landscape. Switching the default to Portrait fixed the problem.
The easiest way to tackle that problem is to just flip the display of your host system.
On the Mac you can do this in System Preferences > Display on Windows there is a keyboard shortcut: ctrl + alt + arrow key. (see here: https://superuser.com/questions/554589/how-can-i-horizontally-flip-invert-my-monitor-not-rotate and here: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/28/rotate-mac-screen-orientation/)
And if you have a standalone trackpad you can just turn it around physically to have your mouse pointer move naturally.
