How to show the system navigation bar in an emulator

android, emulation, navigationbar

Solution

I know this is an old question. But, the trick is the following:

Navigate to `.android/avd/virtual-device.avd`, and change the following values in the following files:

`config.ini`: `hw.mainKeys=no, hw.keyboard=no`

`hardware-qemu.ini`: `hw.mainKeys = no, hw.keyboard = no`

That should disable the `navigation bar` on the virtual device.

Note: To enable the use of the keyboard, you just have to `set` these parameters to yes.

Problem

How can I enable the system navigationbar (the one including the HOME/BACK/MENU) on Jellybean emulator? Googling this, somebody said it can be done by changing the property `qemu.hw.mainkeys`, however I can't find where to set this constant. can somebody help me?
