How to enable the hard keyboard on real device?

Question

Despite it is working on virtual device, the hard keyboard does not work when testing my app on my real android device (Samsung galaxy i551).

I added the following configuration in the Manifest:

<uses-configuration android:reqHardKeyboard="true"  android:reqKeyboardType="qwerty" />

Any clue welcome, regards

The hardware keyboard works automatically. No configuration is necessary to make it work. Your <uses-configuration> simply says that your application will only work on devices with hardware QWERTY keyboards.
