Q:

setting of the AWD keyboard

When I create an emulator in the AWD manager (I use 233 & api 10) on my computer that is setup for american english, it defaults to a Japanese IME keyboard (bad choice in my opinion).   So when I try to run a simple textfield app such as...
I get the foreign keyboard.  How do I change it to U.S. english?   If I go to settings in the emulator and select US english it has no effect.   It just stays Japanese IME. 
Thanks, Dean

Long press a text input field (for example the one in Google Search) until a popup menu appears. 
There, press "Input method" and select the one you want to use.
