My android emulator screen is not recognizing the layout-land

Question

I have created a copy of the layout folder and renamed it as layout-land. In the eclipse; the screen is showing in the landscape mode.

But when I try to rotate the screen in emulator using CTRL+F11; then it rotates the screen instead of showing in the landscape mode.

How do I fix this problem so that the emulator shows the screen in landscape mode? Can someone please help me ??

I have also changed the background color in the layout-land; but the emulator doesn't recognize the color too .. I think it's not recognizing my layout-land at all. How do I fix this?

Are you using `android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"` at all, ive had issues with using that and rotation. — Finding Nemo 2 is happening., Oct 08 '12 at 16:16
Do you use emulator with Android 2.3? Because there was definitely a bug with rotating on this version (and probably on some earlier versions). May find the proof later. — olshevski, Oct 08 '12 at 16:17
Also, are you sure you haven't fixed the layout orientation for the activity in AndroidManifest.xml? — olshevski, Oct 08 '12 at 16:18
@Kzinch Thanks a lot. I was using 2.3 earlier but when I tried it in 4.1 it works — user1050667, Oct 08 '12 at 16:34

There is a bug in Android 2.3, and thus I was unable to rotate the screen. But when I tried in Android 4.1 it works.
