Creating AVD with Hardware Keyboard in Mac OS X 10.8.x

Question

I am trying to emulate a Galaxy Nexus device in AVD Manager. I have checked both Hardware keyboard present and Display a skin with hardware controls , yet neither of these seem to work when the device is actually started. Does anyone have any way to enable keyboard input for AVD devices on Mac OS X 10.8.2?

Answer 1

Check the config file of your current device at

~/.android/avd/<emulator-device-name>.avd/config.ini

and see if hw.keyboard=yes . If it says no , change to yes .
