How to focus an input field on Android browser through javascript or jquery

Question

I\'ve tried $(\'#field\').focus(), and any other method found on the internet. Nothing worked. I have a simple html that reproduces the problem.

if you bind it to another click event it will work. This works for me:

    $(document).ready(function()
    {

       $('#field').click(function(e){ $(this).focus(); });

            $('body').click(function(e)
            {
                $('#field').trigger('click');
            })
    })   

Will pop up the software keyboard. trigger() will trigger any event you give it. In this case the default behaviour of clicking on the field == tap == focus == win! Note: this call is bound to another click event happening.
