keyboard input stop working in Android Emulator

Mukesh Kumar   , , ,   7 comments


Hello Friends ,

After upgrading my Android SDK ADT plugin r20 from r16  keyboard input seem to have stopped working with both existing and new AVDs.
Everything was working fine prior to the upgrade. After doing lots of R&D. The issue is solved for me :)


If you want to enable the keyboard for your android virtual device via command line, edit~/.android/avd/[YOUR_AVD].avd/config.ini and add this to the file: 
hw.keyboard=yes
Restart your AVD and you should be in business.
                         
                                          OR
Go to following path(in my case mukesh is user):
mukesh/.android/avd/[YOUR_AVD].avd/config.ini and add this line
hw.keyboard=yes


Hope this will help you...
Enjoy :)

    Hi alireza,
    Try in this way....
    Go to=>Eclipse=> Window=>Android virtual device manager=>click on New

    There is a check box option "hardware keyboard present" select this option.

    Good Luck....
