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 trying to test multiple screen sizes and is annoying having to shut down the emulator then open a new one just to check the size (there is a new font so I can't view it in the editor).
I open multiple emulators but the box doesn't appear to select the emulator it just runs the previous one.
I searched the answers here and they said go to Run > Edit
Configurations and Select emulator as Target or simply check the
checkbox Use same device for future launches.
I am obviously wanting the opposite so it would be unchecked. The thing is the box is unchecked but it is not giving me the option to select.
Thanks in advance
It should work if the box is unchecked. Probably a bug of android studio? In any case, I've found that clicking stop and then running again gives you the option to select device.
Click the stop button on the right to kill the app and then run again.
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 anyone know of a way (or if it's even possible) to set the default preview AVD in Android Studio v0.4.5. Every time I create a new activity it shows it in a Nexus 4 preview but as I have TEGRA Note 7 and have a custom AVD created for that, I want to see that as the default.
Is this possible and, if so, can anyone advise how to do it? I've checked all the settings but can't see anything that jumps out.
Thanks in advance.
In Android Studio 1.2.2, I was able to solve this problem by going to Run > Edit configurations...
From there, you can change the default emulator (avd) by clicking Defaults, then Android Application. From there, under Target Device, select your Preferred Android Virtual Device then click Apply or OK.
If that still does not work, you may need to also change this setting at the application level. Instead of clicking Defaults, click Android Application and select the name of the project in question. Then proceed to define the project-specific, preferred AVD as described above.
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'm developing an android app on Eclipse Juno.
The android emulator starts up properly loads my splash screen
and then moves on properly but none of the buttons on the emulator
work. All of the buttons that represent the buttons on the phone do
nothing when clicked and also when I try to click any buttons on my
app nothing happens. Anyone have this problem before?
start the eclipse
start android virtual device manager.
select the AVD which you use.
4.select edit in right corner.
in the hardware option select new.
add keyboard lid support and keyboard support.
set value yes for this properties.
now start emulator this will work.
In the new ADT, they changed the way the keyboard support works for emulators...so you need to manually add support for it. If you go to your AVD Manager then edit your AVD, in the Hardware section click New and add 'Keyboard support' and set the value to 'yes'. That should fix it for you.
