Android: how to add custom soft keyboard when form field is selected in WebView

问题

I am using WebView to present UI. Is there any way that I can trigger custom soft keyboard when input text form field is selected?

回答1:

I just encounter a similar problem with the android WebView. When I select, in touch mode, a text input field, it does not pop-up the virtual keyboard whereas with the trackball it works fine.

I just found there: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/e52109afda599301/b4cbc16e4e9e8e0d (last message from alien9) that calling

myWebview.requestFocusFromTouch(); 

solve the problem.

回答2:

take a look at HTML5 - if you change your

<input type="text" ...

to for instance a

<input type="number" ...

you'll get a specialized soft keyboard for numbers.
