Why Is My Android Emulator Keyboard in Chinese Character Mode

Why is my Android emulator keyboard in Chinese character mode?

If you were running monkey at some point, it probably changed the input method — it happens quite often.

You can change the input method by long-pressing on an input field and choosing Input Method → Android Keyboard. I think you can also long-press on the bottom-left key on the virtual keyboard.

Note you can also disable the Japanese and other input methods from being activated entirely via Settings → Keyboard → untick the box next to each IME.

My Android Emulator is Korean

I fixed the problem by destroying that AVD and creating a new one. The old AVD was targeting "Android 2.2" (API Level 8). I created a duplicate which targeted "Google APIs (Google Inc.)" (API Level 8) and everything is now in english.

I'm guessing that I had installed a Korean AVD image from Samsung that had the generic english name "Android 2.2".

Also- the keyboard input was solved by upgrading to the SDK Version 21 as per this stackoverflow question
