WebView textarea doesn’t pop up the keyboard
The full solution is a bit more than what Sana had. It is documented as a bug over at the Android site ( http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7189 ): webView.requestFocus(View.FOCUS_DOWN); webView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { switch (event.getAction()) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: if (!v.hasFocus()) { v.requestFocus(); } break; } return false; } });
