How to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

Normal keypress event does not give keyCode in android device. There has already been a big discussion on this.

If you want to capture the press of space bar or special chars, you can use keyup event.

$('#input').on('keyup', e => {
     var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
     if (keyCode == 0 || keyCode == 229) { 
         keyCode = e.target.value.charAt(e.target.selectionStart - 1).charCodeAt();             
     }
})
