I`m new in programming Android and have a few beginner problems.
I want to rotate my app, when I rotate the device.
How can I programm that my App do this?
And I want to test it with the AVD, but in my AVD, I can not rotate the browser. My AVD has a acclerometer, so what must I do that my own app and the browser rotate?
I can rotate the emulator. But the applications in the emulator do not rotate.I want to rotate my own application. I dont know the sourcecode. This was my first question.
my second one, is why no application like the browser in the AVD rotate when I rotate the AVD.
Thanks for your help.
To rotate emulator press Ctrl+F11. Your app should rotate without adding any code.
I didn't fully understand what you meant in your question, please be more specific.
But if you mean to rotate the AVD you can press KEYPAD_9, Ctrl-F12, KEYPAD_7 or Ctrl-F11 (for the other virtual keys see Android Emulator)

I'm developing an Android app with Android Studio and the emulator. In the last months, I notice that when I rotate the emulator to the app behaviour in landscape mode, the screen is splitted.
It's not a problem of my application, I tried with Gmail app and other and the problem persists.
I tried to change OpenGL config but nothing changes. I'm working on a Mac Book Pro with Big Sur. Any idea about to solve it?
Thank you in advance.
I did face the same issue:
Recreating/Resizing Emulator did not help.
To fix it, I just clicked the zoom button and everything is working as intended.
Zoom option:
After clicking zoom, it works:
Resizing the AVD worked for me, just drag the corners to make the AVD smaller or bigger. After resizing it the split screen should go back to normal. If the problem persists try making a new AVD.
I encounter really strange behavior with android emulator. First of all, I am using extended monitor for development. So i code on my laptop and check the app on emulator on second screen. For some reason, I can't see emulator again after disconnect vga cable but I can see emulator is running on taskbar. Somehow, I can't bring emulator out on desktop screen or move to another screen, it just hidden and I don't know how to bring it out. It already happens to me two or three times. Can somebody help me out? What can I do to solve it?
Below is screenshots of my desktop with emulator running.
alt+tab
avd manager
It happens again when I change to another monitor for extended screen. I try what #Zoe suggested press ALT+SPACE to move but it doesn't work because move is grey out.
So my solution, I created two emulators, for two different monitors.
I am not sure why I got downvoted though.
I created a brand new emulator today but it is behaving weird today. Here is my setting:
When i start it up, it loads fine. Until it gets to the lock screen. I keep on dragging/swiping from bottom to top to unlock, but it wont! This is the first time I encountered such behaviour. I tried with target Android 6.0 - API Level 23 but was able to unlock. I want to test my app on Google API 23. Please help to figure out the proper setting values.
Happened to me as well.
Another solution in addition to what #TTRansmit suggested is as below:
Close emulator.
Go to AVD manager screen, edit your Emulator and go to Advanced Settings.
Select Cold boot as Boot option located in Emulated Performance section. This way you will be able to restart your emulator and get it unlocked without loosing data.
Power off (via holding power) on the device buttons and wipe data (from Android Virtual Device Manager) worked for me. It was turning off the Device Frame from the edit/Virtual Device Configuration screen of AVD that seemed to cause the problem.
I still did not solve this problem, somewhat. To get thru, what I did was I activated the Camera emulation then relaunched the emulator. On the lock screen, I dragged the Camera icon. The camera would crash and emulator would notify you about it thru a pop up dialog. Once you exit the dialog, it will go back to your homepage UNLOCKED! I know, it was weird but it worked.
I have been using the Genymotion Emulator for a few months now. The other day I went to rotate to landscape, and it won't let me.
Here's the things I've tried
Click the Rotate Device Icon
Downloading a fresh device configuration
Click CMD-F11 .. I see the Rotate Device Icon flicker as if it was touched, but again .. still does not rotate
Verified this is not at the app level, because I try it just from the Android desktop there .. no apps running
Can any one suggest a solution here
what am I missing?
do I need to reinstall Genymotion out right ?
I have an Android presentation coming up and would like to get some screenshots of my application. Thing is, I'd like to have a screenshot of the phone with the app running on it.
I could use a camera and take a pic of a droid phone+app, but seems to me the AVD used to run inside a picture of the Nexus phone. Just wondering if it's an Eclipse config option somewhere?
Thanks!
Try using image editing software to superimpose the screenshot into an image of the phone. That's what the designers I work with do when they need to make PR screenshots.
run the DDMS from the location where ever you have installed the Android and then chose Device menu and screen capture
just do alt+printscreen from keyboard keep in mind AVD is focused you will get screen shot of AVD..
