How to remove soft keypad from the Android Emulator? - android

I'm a newbie for Android Application Development, I just started off with a very basic app on Android Studio, firstly I launched Emulator from the AVD manager, the Emulator popped up with frame and when I unchecked "Device Frame" & launched again,
now my question is how do I get rid off the soft keypad(Dark Gray) on the right?
by the way I've tried this answer, but no luck so far any help/suggestions are much appreciated.

I would recommend, try upgrading android studio to 2.0+ (currently in preview), you'll find a smother and better emulator
Go to settings
Language and Keyboard
Uncheck "Android keyboard" and also check other stuff and uncheck those too

Cant See More Options In The Emulator Window In Android Studio

I am not able to see 'more' options for the emulator in the Android studio. I want to change the location from the options menu.
Update as of Sept 2021
Developers now have access to all extended emulator controls when the
emulator is opened in a tool window.
Previous Answer
As per the official documentation it's a limitation See here
Currently, you can't use the emulator's extended controls when it's running in a tool window. If your development workflow depends heavily on the extended controls, continue to use the Android Emulator as a standalone application.
Uncheck and run again.
Just go the File->Setting->Tools->Emulator
And then uncheck the checkbox and press apply and run the application again this will show you the emulator with all detail.

Android Emulator Scroll Down Doesn't Work in Home Page

I am new in Android Studio. I am using Android Emulator for call rest API for my backend. Before, i scroll down basicly in main android page. But after i wanted to tried scroll down, as if i right clicked, Home Setting, Widgets and Wallpaper pop-up show me. What is the solution about that. I never changed any setting.
Thanks for reply.
It looks like your emulator is frozen. It happens quite often.
I would suggest you to try these:
Restart your computer and try to run your app in the emulator. After it successfully runs, now try to clear the app cache.
If that didn't help, create another emulator. I recommend to choose different device and API level than the current emulator device but it is not necessary. This should solve your problem.
Tips
If you want to clear data, clear cache, uninstall app, clear cache and restart the app and so many such actions from android studio without touching your emulator then you can use ADB Idea plugin.
For that, in android studio go to Settings -> Plugins
search for ADB Idea in marketplace. Install it.
You need to restart android studio.
To use it:
You can press shift key in your keyboard twice and search for Adb in search window. You will get all the options from the plugin
From android studio menu... Tools -> ADB Idea and then you will see all the options available.

Android studio mouse sometime not working?

I am using
Android studio 2.1.1 Build #AI-143.2821654 build on April 28, 2016.
JRE: 1.8.0_77-b03 x86_64
OS X El Capitan 10.11.3
I have met Android studio mouse problem a lot of times recently. I cannot use mouse to click anything in Android studio. All I can do is to use keyboard and shortcuts.
And only solution I found is to restart my whole computer. I have noticed that there is problem in other version of Android studio. So my question is that how can I deal with it?
I found that sometime I can reproduce this problem after I middle click the Editor Tab to close tab.
Just had this issue this morning. Android Studio wasn't responding to mouse click events. The odd thing was that it was responding to mouse position (tooltips, hover effects).
I updated to the newest version of Android Studio using Android Studio > Check for Updates and navigated the dialog menu with tab and spacebar. This did not solve the issue, but is probably worthwhile to try.
I'm not 100% certain what solved it, but I started pressing other buttons on my mouse (right-click, middle click, etc). Eventually it started accepting my left-click input again.
It happened to me with Intellij IDEA, when a dialog window has been opened by the IDE, but for some reason it is hidden behind the main window. You may try to find if there is any open dialog and close it.
I had the same issue on my Android Studio (4.1.1) on my MacBook Pro (macOS 11.1). For me, I just restarted my MacBook and the mouse click started working on Android Studio.
Not sure what caused it.
The mouse clicks thing and closing the android studio from task manager and open again did not help for me. im not sure why but CTRL+ALT+DELETE and going back to desktop fixed the problem.
Here is how I fixed this issue:
Use keyboard arrows and tab key to navigate to google assistant
Press enter to launch it
type and search "Power Menu : Software Power Bu"
navigate to install the app in results from playstore
Open the app after install and accept & set permissions
Open Power Menu now And you will get Android Power Options
Navigate to "Restart" and restart device
Viola!!! Now Emulator clicks works
In my case it happened, because one of the plugins started crashing in the loop, somehow disabling mouse click handlers.

How to always keep Android Studio Tool Windows in Un Docked Mode

I recently switched to Android Studio and noticed that the tool windows have a Docked Mode option when I click on the little Gear icon in each tool window.
I personally prefer the Un-Docked Mode(as the tool window minimizes conveniently when I click in the editor) and set every tool window(except the Project Explorer) to be Un-Docked.
But every time I restart Android Studio it irritatingly converts all Tool Windows back to Docked Mode.This was very easy to do in Eclipse but after searching online for quite a bit, I still don't know how to save the UnDocked mode for Tool Windows in Android Studio. Any ideas how to solve this?
Today's update to Android Studio 0.5.5 fixed the problem for me! Now Android Studio always remembers to save the state of the tool windows!
Unlike #kpsfoo, I want the tool window on the docked mode, but I did something and wasn't able to go back... Finally I went to file > settings > I did search for "docked" in the search box and created a keyboard shortcut. This way I'm able to quickly switch on and off the docked mode.
I hope it could help somebody...

Emulator not displaying keyboard

I am new to android programming. Although I have titled the question differently, my primary question is whether the AVD/Emulator supposed to show the keyboard? I am using Eclipse. If yes, is there any specific setting that needs to be done? I am only doing my first android app and my emulator doesnt show the keyboard.
Edit your AVD, add "Keyboard Support" and change the value to no.
Restart your AVD making sure that you wipe user data. Your keyboard will popup now.
Check this and this.
Just go to AVD manager in eclipse. Click Edit on current AVD after that just check Hardware Keyboard Present. Relaunch AVD and check.
