Why is Android WebView refusing user input?

Question

I\'m developing an Android application that uses a WebView to display the login page for Facebook. The page loads beautifully, and I\'m able to select the username/password

Answer 1

I faced with similar problem, that text inputs doesn't work on webview. When you focus on text input it shows keyboard, but you cannot type any characters.

After a long search for solution, I found that this fixes the problem:

body {
    -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    -moz-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    -ms-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    -o-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}

As I understood, this rule makes some devices run their hardware acceleration. More information about translate3d(0,0,0) here.

On the other hand, according to this article it is not recommended to use GPU acceleration everywhere.
