Keyboard stopped working on Intel x86 Android emulator after upgrading to ADT 20

Question

I mean I can't type from my laptop keyboard into android emulator anymore. Virtual and on-screen keyboards are working fine.

Answer 1

I had the same problem after upgrading to Tools version 20. I had to Edit the AVD to add an option as follows:

• From Eclipse, Go to AVD Mananger.
• Select the particular AVD and click on Edit
• Go to the Hardware section, click on New.
• Select the Property Name : Keyboard Support
• By default, it is added with a value of 'no'. Just click on the value column and change it to 'yes'.
• Click on Edit AVD again.

This will add a property hw.keyboard=yes in config.ini file for the AVD. And it should work fine from there.
