I'm getting crazy right now. I just installed the latest android adt bundle from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. It's version v21.0.0.

Now I wanted to test my tablet app (designed for 10.1" xlarge mdpi) in the emulator, but I cannot get any software buttons for home/back/...

Here's my device configuration. This config is afterwards assigned to the avd. http://i.stack.imgur.com/Q7xvP.png

Hardware-buttons don't work as well (you cannot set hardware buttons in a tablet-like emulator).

The target api is level 15 (android 4.0.3).

I searched stackoverflow, but didn't find any help concerning the latest version of android.

Since time's running away a little, any quick help would be great! Thanks in advance.

Bye The_Unknown
