I am using the AVD manager in eclipse. Is there a setting that I can use to stop the on screen keyboard appearing when an input field has focus?
I tried has hardware keyboard = true, but then the emulator doesn't seem to start at all :-S
Going to settings app and selecting Apps & notifications:And finally clicking on Android Keyboard (AOSP) entry in the app list: Clicking on Disable button and confirming in a pop-up dialog will disable on-screen android keyboard from appearing when trying to type.
Right-click (or long-press) on the taskbar, then select Taskbar settings to display the context menu. Under Taskbar corner icons, set Touch keyboard to Off.
Removing a KeyboardFrom the 'Installed languages' menu, select the language for the keyboard you want to remove. The bottom of the keyboard settings menu displays an option to uninstall the keyboard. Select 'Uninstall keyboard' to get a prompt to delete the keyboard.
mstoic's answer works, but with one problem: Google voice typing gets enabled with no way to get rid of it.
Not sure if this is available in emulators of all Android versions, but I found this in Settings
-> System
-> Languages & Input
-> Physical keyboard
(API 29 emulator). It worked for my use case.
The emulated device should have a physical keyboard, therefore negating the need for a soft keyboard.
I tried it out now and this configuration combination works for me:
hw.keyboard=yes
hw.touchScreen=no
The AVD has a physical keyboard, but no touchscreen, therefore only the physical keyboard can be used for text input, and the emulator does not show the soft keyboard.
