如何启动Android模拟器的屏幕方向？

Question

I want to start the android emulator in landscape mode. It only starts in portrait mode and I want to change that. All I found out is a "-onion-rotation" setting that might have something to do with it but I don't know where to set it.

Can anyone tell me more about this ?

PS: I don't want to change the orientation with a key and I want to have the gui with the many buttons present.

I think this probably answers your question? GoogleGroup - AndroidBeginners

Answer 2

I tried for you to work in emulator in Landscape. but still I cant able to find the view with the buttons. I am only getting the Screen size.

//use this line in Additional Emulator command line option.

emulator -skin HVGA-L

I am getting error as:

[2011-12-23 14:02:18 - Emulator] invalid command-line parameter: emulator.
[2011-12-23 14:02:18 - Emulator] Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
[2011-12-23 14:02:18 - Emulator] please use -help for more information

//so I am using only

 -skin HVGA-L

this works fine for me.

I think you don't need any key for your emulator if you want you can use Emulator Keyboard Mapping
