Hello I set the orientation to Landscape(by Eclipse icon flip orientation), but when i run the app the orientation is still standard(in Eclipse it is shown properly as landscape). Why is it so?

    the icon only works for you to see how it would be displayed not to set the actual orientation on a real device. for that you have to set the parameter in your layout or manifest depending on what you want. – Raykud Jul 02 '12 at 00:17

    if what you want is to be compatible with both orientations but run/change the orientation when you are running the app you can do as @Sam says, press Ctrl+F11 and the emulator should rotate. – Raykud Jul 02 '12 at 00:19

In your manifest file, under the activity tag, write

android:screenOrientation="landscape"

This should set the orientation to landscape for good.
