I am running Eclipse on a Windows 7 machine. Since the last update of the Android-related files (Android SDK and AVD) to version 4.1, I have a weird looking keyboard:
(this is the first part of the tutorial on the Android Developer website...)
I had a real qwerty-keyboard before, but now it is not only (partly) Japanese, but I can't seem to find how to change it to a qwerty-keyboard.
I have tried checking for updates, restarting the program and the whole PC, changing AVD keyboard settings and different virtual devices with different Android versions on them (the pic shows 2.3.3).
Thanks a lot for your help!
If you click and hold (your mouse button) in the input text box, a menu should come up with Input Method Click that and a Select input method menu should appear. Select Android keyboard and you'll be back to a standard qwerty keyboard.
Try deleting the AVD instance and create a new one. It certainly looks strange but it won't take long to create a new virtual device and boot it ... certainly more constructive than pulling your hair out

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 am using Linux Mint 18.2 and Android Studio 3.0. I started my avd nexus 5 oreo, it's running but not working computers keyboard. I couldn't write anything. Only when i can write something about hundred times try with mouse right and left click. It's silly. I check avd config.ini. Thats true and see hw.keyboard=yes.
I think it can not focus on the emulator window and so its not writing.
Like i sad the problem is emulator window is not focused.
I found two solution.
Right and left keys of the mouse to be written in the text area click quickly 3 or 4 times. (So the window focuses, if you look at the window title it will be understood. Note: You have to do this every time)
Go to your Window Manager, find Focus tab, Change Focus Model -> "Focus follow mouse". (Permanent solution which Paul Freez's answer -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/42720450/4300071)
I cannot get an Android Virtual Device to launch on my Surface Pro. I have had no problems on Windows XP, 7, or OS X.
I have tried launching from the AVD Manager, it opens the option dialog and when I select launch it acts like it is working, however the emulator never shows up.
When I select Run As Android Application from a project it acts like it is starting, once again nothing ever shows up.
Either way I get no error messages in the console.
I have tried disabling UAC.
Thanks for your help.
Right-click the program's icon and choose Properties.
When the Properties dialog box appears, click the Compatibility tab and then click the Run Compatibility Troubleshooter button.
Windows 8 tries to guess what version of Windows your program needs, and then it applies the changes. If the program begins working, you're through.
If the program still has trouble, though, move to Step 3.
In the Compatibility Mode section, select the Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For check box and select the program's desired Windows version from the drop-down list.

Please refer to my question and answer here:
< Android Emulator and AVD will not run on Surface Pro >
As it turns out you can run the Android Emulator and AVD on the Microsoft Windows 8 Surface Pro.
You will need to rollback the graphic drivers:
< http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-hardware/latest-graphics-driver-update-makes-bluestacks/1f67d99f-3626-4110-aa22-773856b226cb > Method 1: I would suggest you to roll back to the previous driver.
a) Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
b) Click Device Manager.
c) Double-click on Display Adapters.
d) Double-click on your Graphic Card Drivers
e) Select the Driver Tab
f) Click on Roll Back Driver.
I still recommend using Bluestacks as an alternative method for Android Emulation.
I'm a little bit freshman in Android development so the some reasons may be sound incorrect.
I have been faced with a problem that the virtual keyboard is not displayed when I run the emulator for any created AVD with the varied parameters but it appears one of the following messages just without the expected keypad:
"Hardware keyboard not enabled in AVD. Use on screen keyboard" (With deselected checkbox "Hardware keyboard present").
"Hardware Keyboard. Use your physical keyboard to provide input" (With selected checkbox "Hardware keyboard present").
Also I played around the config.ini with the flags hw.keyboard, hw.keyboard.lid, hw.touchScreen but nothing couldn't help me.
The point of my question is how to get the most common view in the right side of emulator window like this.
So, currently I have resolved my issue. All previous answers did not follow my question perhaps due to unclear explanation from my side.
So, to clarify this question, before I give an answer, the main point was: I meant that there was absent not hardware or software keyboard but the emulator own skin keyboard and couple of another buttons. I guess, my AVD Manager makes incorrect construction of AVD. It's the talk of the special config.ini file that contains two abnormal parameters:
skin.name=320x480
skin.path=320x480
After I changed it, for example, to
skin.name=HVGA
skin.path=platforms\android-XX\skins\HVGA
where XX means any version within described path to skin in Android SDK folder,
all skins are applied properly and emulator look better.
Unfortunately, I still have an issue with understanding. Why after the proper installation and configuration of dev. environment the AVD Manager formats config.ini file incorrectly with parameters hw.dPad=no, hw.trackBall=no by default and skin.name and skin.path set to the wrong values.
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.
