Solution
Add "Keyboard support" to your emulator hardware:
- On Eclipse, go to Window > AVD Manager
- Choose your emulator > Edit
- Click "New" button in "Hardware" section
- Select "Keyboard support" and change value to "Yes"
- Finally, click on "Edit AVD" button.
Then you could input text to your emulator from your keyboard.
Problem
When my android sdk update to newest version, i met the issue is : I cannot type text into Android Emulator by using computer keyboard, and I cannot use Android Emulator keyboard (the keyboard that next to the screen). If I want to input some text, I must use this : click to textfield where I want to type. It will go to screen with virtual keyboard (as a real mobile phone), and click the character I want. This annoy me because make me slower when debug an app. Please help me, how to type directly using keyboard. Thanks :)
