Rotating Emulator Window while replaying Location Routes


ive noticed that the window of my Android Emulator will rotate while im replaying a route from the Emulator Menu.

Emulator with Route

How do i keep this from happening?


Solution

  • I found a solution to disable the unwanted rotation of the emulator. To do this, open the config.ini file located in the emulator’s directory. You can find this file by going to the Device Manager, selecting the desired emulator, clicking on Options, and then choosing Show on Disk. In the config.ini file, change hw.accelerometer = yes to hw.accelerometer = no. After restarting Android Studio, the emulator will stop rotating when starting a route.
