Support physical keyboards on Android #11177

@tvolkert

Description

@tvolkert

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Fire up an AVD in Android Studio
  2. Run the Flutter gallery in the AVD
  3. Navigate to the "Text fields" demo
  4. Select the first text input and begin typing on your physical keyboard

Expected Behavior

You expect the text input to respond to physical key events, as they do in the iOS simulator.

Actual Behavior

The text input does not respond to physical key events.

Additional information

Some AVDs (such as the default used within Google) disable the virtual keyboard by default and rely on physical keyboard input. For these emulators, there's no way to enter text in flutter apps.
