Android emulator force landscape on start-up

In AVD Manager, use "Edit" button and choose another device, labeled as "tablet", which is landscape by default. Note screen dimensions, where X should be greater than Y.

If none of predefined devices satisfy your needs, you can switch to the "Device definitions" tab of AVD Manager and create your own device. I prefer light screens e.g. 800x480 which are emulating faster. Then use "Create AVD" button to define new emulator instance.
