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

in my context (webview containing an external URL), this fragment works:

    webview.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
       @Override
       public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
           switch (event.getAction()) {
               case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
               case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                   v.requestFocusFromTouch();  
                   break;
           }               
           return false;
       }

});

the error is because at every touch the webview was losing the focus!
