Answer 1

Follow the following steps, if you are using Android Studio:

1. Goto your AVD Manager

2. Select your device

3. Click on the edit button

4. Now Click on Show Advance Settings

5. Scroll down to the option to disable(as you want to disable) Enable Keyboard Input

Answer 2

As also mentioned by @sanat shukla you have to edit your Android Virtual Device (AVD) in the AVD manager. You have to tick off the "Hardware keyboard present". That means the emulator will not use the Hardware keyboard, but show you a Software keyboard.
