"Hardware Section" is missing under Android Virtual Device Manager

Issue

I was trying to fix my problem "hardware buttons not enabled in AVD" after an hour research all I found was people who lead people to go to "hardware section and fix blabla"

but interestingly my AVD doesn't have this section.I actually found some of options under Device Definitions but still couldnt fix my problem nor found this menu.All screenshots I saw had Hardware section...

My specs are; MacOS , Android 4.2.2 (Api17) , Eclipse

P.S:everything else works perfectly .I am just missing this section.

Solution

The instructions you were looking at were probably from R20 or earlier versions of the Android Developer Tools. R21 is different and appears to be what you are running. You change the behavior of the hardware buttons on the Device Definitions tab for whatever device is associated with your AVD:

Change the Buttons drop-down to Software or Hardware depending on what you want the behavior to be.
