Hi alunny,

Any progress on this issue? I really need the ability to set keyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction via the config.xml :)

I too need the keyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction to work. Is there an estimated delivery date on this functionality?

[robyweb]

I also REALLY need this feature for the app that I am developing. Can you please give and ETA on when this may be supported?

Thanks!

This functionality is available in phonegap 2.2.0+

for 2.2.0, make sure Cordova.plist contains the KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction key with its boolean value set to your requirements.

for 2.3.0, just add a line similar to the following to your config.xml file.

< preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="true" />

OR

< preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="false" />

The keyboard never shows before the user taps on my fields even though they have focus. I am using CordovaLib-2.4.0 and I have the following entry in my config.xml: < preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="false" />

I am using jQuery mobile and what I found was that the keyboard will launch if I delay the focus call until after the page has initialized. All I did was add the following:

setTimeout(function() { $(selector).focus(); }, 1000);

This has worked consistently for me. Hope it helps.

robyweb rocks! That did the trick. The following approach was only setting the focus without the keyboard: setTimeout('$(selector).focus();',0);
