masked input not working in android mobiles?

Question

I am using the digitalbush masked input jQuery plugin. It is working fine in web browsers and the iPhone browser perfectly, but it is not working for Android mobile devices.

Answer 1

I resolved this issue with three actions, which have fixed this for all Android 4.0+ phones:

1. Update masked-input to at least version 1.4
2. Add type="tel" to the input, to trigger the numeric keyboard
3. Remove the input's maxlength attribute or set it to a value certain not to interfere with the caret action, like 20.
