In the updated emulator you don t have to remember the keyboard shortcuts -- they have added a side panel to the right side of the window  You can change the screen orientation by clicking either of the  rotate  buttons in that side panel     Just click on Rotate button to change the landscape to portrait and vice versa

On Android Studio 4 0 1  the emulator includes buttons for rotation  In the image below  the Rotate Left  shortcut  Ctrl   Left  button is outlined in blue and the Rotate Right  shortcut  Ctrl   Right  button is outlined in red   After pressing one of the buttons to rotate  the orientation of the application itself will not change  For instance  if we pressed Rotate Left  the application would look this   To change the orientation of the running application  it is necessary to click the icon outlined in red above  Note that this icon may take a few seconds to show up and will disappear shortly  Also  when rotating back to portrait orientation  one must press the opposite rotate button for the icon to appear  This means that if we pressed Rotate Left  we need to press Rotate Right to return to the original orientation  and vice versa
