Enabling hardware keyboard support for Android emulator in Linux

Support for the hardware keyboard is no longer enabled by default in Android Virtual Devices (AVDs). If you want to enable keyboard support for an existing AVD, you can simply edit the configuration file of the AVD:

  1. Go to your Android installation root. By default, this is ~/.android/.
  2. Find the AVD in ~/.android/avd/ and go to that directory. For example, this would be ~/.android/avd/android-23.avd/ if the name of the AVD is “android-23”.
  3. Edit config.ini and look for the line hw.keyboard = no. Replace this to hw.keyboard = yes.
  4. Restart the AVD.
