I’m trying to work with an emulator with a particular screen resolution, but when I set the screen parameters to the ones I need, the keyboard disappears. This way I don’t have back button, home button..
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
This is what I have set in the AVD manager:
screen resolution: 1024 x 600
keyboard support: yes
accelerometer: yes
abstract LCD density: 160
device ram size: 256

thanks!
