I just set up of Android development environment in Ubuntu 12.04. I made an AVD for Android version 2.3.3 and ran my app on it. But I am not able to use my computer's keyboard or keyboard given on the right side of it. What is the reason for this?

My ADT version is 20.0. I was earlier developing on Windows and it was working fine.

Got the answer from here. Apparently they have removed default keyboard support after ADT 20.0, so we need to add keyboard support manually by editing the AVD.
