Can't type in editText on Mac emulator

Question

I am a new Mac OS user and I transfered my Android project to Mac after installing Eclipse and all the necessary requirments. My application is running normally, but I can't seem to type in the emulator.

I am running an Android 4.1 emulator using Eclipse Juno.

Answer 1

This is a problem with the new release of the Android Tools. You will need to edit the AVD to add an option as follows:

From Eclipse, Go to AVD Mananger.

• Select the particular AVD and click on Edit
• Go to the Hardware section, click on New.
• Select the Property Name : Keyboard Support
• By default, it is added with a value of 'no'. Just click on the value column and change it to 'yes'.
• Click on Edit AVD again.

This will add a property hw.keyboard=yes in config.ini file for the AVD. And it should work fine from there.
