Emulator not displaying keyboard

Question

I am new to android programming. Although I have titled the question differently, my primary question is whether the AVD/Emulator supposed to show the keyboard? I am using Eclipse. If yes, is there any specific setting that needs to be done? I am only doing my first android app and my emulator doesnt show the keyboard.

Edit your AVD, add "Keyboard Support" and change the value to no.

Restart your AVD making sure that you wipe user data. Your keyboard will popup now.

Check this and this.

Last answer in the 1st link (the one with the solution in the emulator itself) worked for me. – who-aditya-nawandar Sep 25 '13 at 06:14

Just go to AVD manager in eclipse. Click Edit on current AVD after that just check Hardware Keyboard Present. Relaunch AVD and check.
