Paste text on Android Emulator

Question

Is there an easy way to copy/paste (desktop\'s) clipboard content to EditView on Android Emulator?

(just for the sake to ease development/test)

Answer 1

In a terminal, type adb shell input text 'my string here. With some characters escaped like \$ that'

Note that an alternative method for including spaces in the text is to substitute %s for each space character.
