I have updated Android SDK to KitKat and created a KitKat emulator but I can't see any soft button in it. I tried to scroll bottom-up with no success. Do you know how can I see soft bottons? Is there any shortcut?
If you want to see software (on-screen) keyboard you have to disable the "hardware keyboard present" in your AVD configuration.

I think so you have not created the emulator perfectly My Friend
Look over the configuration and options Check it thorough

I have been using the Android Studio emulators for a while, but since a few days the mapping is broken. I have an azerty keyboard on my laptop, and when I type something, it appears as qwerty on the emulator (typing 'a' on the laptop will show 'q' on the emulator). Using the soft keyboard of the emulator works as expected, no matter if the soft keyboard is azerty or qwerty.
This issue appears on all emulators. I have tried to create a new emulator and cold booting. I can't seem to find a setting to change the mapping.
Is there a hidden setting or shortcut I can use to fix this?
I recommend you use the MEMU emulator
Memu Emulator
i have just had the same issue.
to solve it i proceeded this way :
in the android emulator in the menu Settings / general go to "send keyboard shortcuts to virtual device"
see the android emulator config screenshot here
i then installed an application "Clavier physique AZERTY." (see the link in this blog: android-configurer-un-clavier-sans-fil-en-azerty)
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
Does anybody know how to display the keyboard in the emulator when the EditText field has focus. I have tried so many solutions but none of them work. I am working in android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The Emulator I am using is GenyMotion. I would also like to know how to hide the keyboard when the EditText field loses focus. I assume however if the keyboard does not appear in the emulator it won't appear when testing on the device.
Any help much appreciated
Just check the details of your emulator. Soft Keyboard won't be displayed if you have checked the option "Hardware Keyboard Present", uncheck that option. And it will automatically displayed on the device since device doesn't have hard keyboard.
Close emulator -> Setting button -> Check Use virtual keyboard for text input
run Genymotion as the application from windows or mac (not from android studio plugin)
then select the settings sign on the right of the virtual device you have installed from the virtualdevicelist
choose the 'use virtual keyboard for textinput'
then close the application.
this worked for me in genymotion 2.6.0
Try this it work for me:
GO to settings menu ->Language&Input->turn off the Hardware Physical keyboard.
First of All close Genymotion emulator.
Then Start Genymotion Application
From left side menu open Filters -> Source -> Genymotion Now check the checkBox of Genymotion if already unchecked.
Then from installed devices select three doted icon -> Edit Then in edit window go down in Android System Option And check the checkBox of Use virtual keyboard for text input
For new versions of Genymotion (mine is 3.1.0),
Right click on your virtual device and click "edit"
Then choose "Use virtual keyboard for text input" and click "CONFIRM"
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.
I am using the AVD manager in eclipse. Is there a setting that I can use to stop the on screen keyboard appearing when an input field has focus?
I tried has hardware keyboard = true, but then the emulator doesn't seem to start at all :-S
mstoic's answer works, but with one problem: Google voice typing gets enabled with no way to get rid of it.
Not sure if this is available in emulators of all Android versions, but I found this in Settings -> System -> Languages & Input -> Physical keyboard (API 29 emulator). It worked for my use case.
The emulated device should have a physical keyboard, therefore negating the need for a soft keyboard.
I tried it out now and this configuration combination works for me:
hw.keyboard=yes
hw.touchScreen=no
The AVD has a physical keyboard, but no touchscreen, therefore only the physical keyboard can be used for text input, and the emulator does not show the soft keyboard.
Simply disable the Gboard app on your emulator.
To do that, go to Settings > Apps > Gboard, and then click the "DISABLE" button.
If Gboard is not visible, make sure you select the three dots in the top right corner and select the "Show system" option.
In some apps, you may see the Voice input box instead of the keyboard, you can disable that too by disabling the Google app in the same way you disabled Gboard.
