Android emulator doesn't take keyboard input on custom AVD skins- SDK tools rev 20.0.1
android, android-emulator
Solution
Apparently there is a `hardware.ini` file in each of the skin's folder (for example `NEXUS-S`) that specify `hw.keyboard=no`. You can modify this line to enable the keyboard in the AVD that is based on the skin. There is also `hw.dPad=yes` if you wish to use the arrow-keys.
Problem
Possible Duplicate: Android emulator doesn’t take keyboard input - SDK tools rev 20 For anyone who is using custom AVD skins and SDK tools rev 20, how do you get keyboard access to work? The solution discussed in Android emulator doesn't take keyboard input - SDK tools rev 20 only works for the fugly pixel hogging default skin (WVGA800). Been using "Google Android Emulator Skins for Nexus S and Nexus One" found here: http://heikobehrens.net/2011/03/15/android-skins/ I tried to edit the AVD config.ini by adding hw.keyboard = true, it still doesn't work.
