copied!<p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>As of SDK rev 21 the Android Virtual Device Manager has an improved UI which resolves this issue. I have highlighted some of the more important configuration settings below:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2On6A.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>If you notice that the soft (screen-based) main keys <code>Back</code>, <code>Home</code>, etc. are missing from your emulator you can set <code>hw.mainKeys=no</code> to enable them.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Bva7C.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p><strong>Original answer</strong></p> <p>Even though the developer documentation says keyboard support is enabled by default it doesn't seem to be that way in SDK rev 20. I explicitly enabled keyboard support in my emulator's config.ini file and that worked!</p> <p>Add: <code>hw.keyboard=yes</code></p> <p>To: <code>~/.android/avd/<emulator-device-name>.avd/config.ini</code></p> <p>Similarly, add <code>hw.dPad=yes</code> if you wish to use the arrow-keys to navigate the application list.</p> <p>Reference: <a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/managing-avds-cmdline.html#hardwareopts">http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/managing-avds-cmdline.html#hardwareopts</a></p> <p>On Mac OS and Linux you can edit all of your emulator configurations with one Terminal command:</p> <p><code>for f in ~/.android/avd/*.avd/config.ini; do echo 'hw.keyboard=yes' >> "$f"; done</code></p> <hr> <p>On a related note, if your tablet emulator is missing the BACK/HOME buttons, try selecting <strong>WXGA800</strong> as the Built-in skin in the AVD editor: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LB9Q1.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Or by manually setting the skin in config.ini:</p> <pre><code>skin.name=WXGA800 skin.path=platforms/android-16/skins/WXGA800 </code></pre> <p>(example is for API 16)</p>
