Go to windows-> Avd Manager . Select your AVD and edit it and add keyboard support under Hardware section . Make its boolean value true and Enjoy typing with PC's keyboard.

    that's fine, but then the soft keyboard never shows. so w are stuck between typing on the softkeyboard, or typing on the hard keyboard and never showing the soft keyboard. – Jeffrey Blattman Jul 23 '12 at 21:04

For those who are using Android Studio.

  1. Open Android Virtual Device Manager.
  2. Click the 'Pencil icon' align with the selected Emulator.
  3. (A dialog will popup) Select Show Advance Settings button.
  4. Find 'Enable Keyboard Input' and ensure it's selected. enter image description here

5 Finally Click 'Finish' and you're done!
