Menu
I've tried $('#field').focus(), and any other method found on the internet. Nothing worked. I have a simple html that reproduces the problem.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#field').focus();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="field" name="field"/>
</body>
</html>
Please help!

Example 1: In this example the form input text field gets the focus as page loads by using focus() method . Here the input element is selected by input keyword in JQuery selector. | Set focus on a form input text field on page load. This input box gets the focus as the page loads.
The autofocus attribute is a boolean attribute. When present, it specifies that an <input> element should automatically get focus when the page loads.
To set focus to an HTML form element, the focus() method of JavaScript can be used. To do so, call this method on an object of the element that is to be focused, as shown in the example. Example 1: The focus() method is set to the input tag when user clicks on Focus button.
Actually, the general javascript function "focus" is deactivated in the android browser. Hence, the jQuery focus function is deactivated since it's using the above.

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.
