There is some kind of bug (or a messed-up feature) in ADT 20 that causes this issue. For some reason, it removes the interaction via physical keyboard, and you must re-add it yourself.

I found the trick below from someone who uses a Mac, however I checked it with my Windows 7 machine and the settings process should be the same.

  1. First, close your emulator and open the AVD Manager (you can do this through Eclipse -> Window if in Eclipse; otherwise it should be in your SDK folder).
  2. You need to pick the emulator you are using (the one you want to fix), then click Edit.... Under Hardware:, select New..., then search the dropdown and find Keyboard Support, and hit OK.
  3. Next, select Keyboard support from the Hardware: section, then click (or maybe double-click) the Value column, and change it to yes.
  4. Lastly, click Edit AVD to complete the process.

You should click Edit... again, and verify that Keyboard support is still set to yes. If it is, start your emulator, and you should be good to go!
