Is there a way to detect if the device I'm currently running on has a hardware keyboard installed?
How do I query device capabilities anyway?

A:
"The flags provided by getResources().getConfiguration().keyboard are a good way of checking which keyboard (if any) is available." [1]

Basically that means: private boolean isHardwareKeyboardAvailable() { return getResources().getConfiguration().keyboard != Configuration.KEYBOARD_NOKEYS; }

Yes, if for your purposes you are counting a "12-key keyboard" as a "hardware keyboard".
