How to test IME_ACTION_DONE on Genymotion emulator

Issue

In one of my apps I have an EditText that has android:imeOption="actionDone" set. I've also set the appropriate setOnEditorActionListener().

 <EditText
    android:id="@+id/search_field"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/search_field_hint"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    android:singleLine="true"/>

When testing on a real device everything works great - I enter some text, hit the "Done" button and my action get's triggered.

On Genymotion emulator though (that I really prefer using while development) I can't see the soft-keyboard, thus I can't click the "Done" button to trigger the action.

How do I test if my imeOption is set and is working correctly on Genymotion emulator?

Solution

Before opening the emulator press the preferences button of the emulator and check the Use virtual keyboard for text input. This should do the trick, of course u will need to press on the virtual keyboard.
