keep keyboard open on Ionic when button click ( chat app )

问题

I have an Ionic v1 chat application, I made everything, but I encountred the famous problem when clicking on a send button (send chat) the keyboard loses focus from the input and then closes.

I've tried many approaches, but it none of them work:

Input directive to keep focus,
forcing focus on click event,
modifying the value of InputUserAction in config.xml to false.

Any help is much appreciated.

<div class="sender">
<input type="text" ng-model="..." class="...">
<div class="button-send">
<span class="send-chat"><i class="ion ion-send"></i></span>
</div>
</div>

ALright found a fix! for all of you out there, who are using ionic for a chat like app, and want the keyboard to stay focused after clicking on a button,

Just, replace the button by a label with for="inputID" like so:

<div class="sender">
<input id="inputID" type="text" ng-model="..." class="...">
<div class="button-send">
<label for="inputID" class="send-chat"><i class="ion ion-send"></i></label>
</div>
</div>
