How to exit from Screen Pinning - Android 5 (Emulator)


Screen Pinning (as mentioned on this page) is a new feature introduced in Android 5 (Lollipop) which lets its users to temporarily lock only one Activity to the screen. All other notifications are hidden when screen pinning is activated.

Following steps can be taken to activate Screen Pinning

Users can enable screen pinning in Settings > Security > Screen Pinning, and select the tasks they want to pin by touching the green pin icon in the recents screen.

And to exit from Screen Pinning user can do the following

the user can exit by holding both the Back and Recent buttons

What I wanted to ask is

Is there any way to exit from Screen Pinning on Android Emulator for 5.0?, as we won't be able to press both Back and Recent buttons at same time with mouse?

Thanks.
