Android 4 ICS is supposed to have virtual menu, home and back buttons at the bottom. I don't see this in the emulator. Do I have to do something to enable that?

  • Not sure why you got downvoted, but you could definitely expand the question a bit more. Could you post a link to a screenshot (since you can't post images directly yet)? Also, please post a screenshot of your virtual device's config screen (the one you have in VD manager) – Codeman Nov 22 '11 at 15:14
  • Why would someone downvote this? Anyway. Here is an image that shows the virtual software buttons for home, menu and back, at the bottom the screen. http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/ICS-Android01.jpg. I don't see these buttons when I launch the Android emulator running ICS platform. I am using the emulator's back, home and menu buttons. But, ideally, I will like to use the software buttons. – RajV Nov 22 '11 at 15:44
  • It's entirely possible that the emulator doesn't support it yet. The emulator is one of the areas that Android really needs to improve, and this might just be a shortcoming. Sorry I wasn't able to answer your question, hopefully someone is able to – Codeman Nov 22 '11 at 15:59

today Google solve this problem, you need to update the emulator to the rev16 version and Android ics system image 2.

Xavier Ducrohet post this on Google+ today.

Try to set the AVD resolution to WXGA720. Read about it somewhere and it and now the AVD shows the nav buttons.
