Android emulation: cannot type

Post by francof » Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:06 pm

Hi all,
finally I was be able, with the help of the fourm, to run my app in the android emulator test target. all works fine but, app does not receive keyboard typing, even if the cursor is into the text field.
the emulator is 5554 Android 2.3.3 API 10
when starts at the side of it is written: "Hardware Keyboard Use your physical keyboard to provide input"
missing anything?

best

Hi franco,
In the settings for the AVD select "Hardware keyboard present".
I just tested with 2.3.3 level 10 with a Nexus S device and it's working, but I don't think all AVD actually work using this setting.

Hi Simon,
the option you are referring to it is already selected. I also used a Nexus S device, but do not works.

Hi Franco,
Do you see a cursor flashing in the text box?

Here are my settings;

I have tried a simply LC app on emulator, a card with only a text field. no changes in his properties. don't work, still unable to type into the box.
but I tried my original program on a real device (samsung smartphone) and there.... it works!
may be something missing in the ADV?

ciao
franco
