How do I display the keyboard using Cordova or phonegap?

Question

I’m using Cordova/phonegap and would like to know: How do I display the keyboard (in android OS) as soon as the user enters, on a page that only has a text field?

Answer 1

It seems that by usability guidelines, some Sos bring restriction to automatic keyboard invocation. But Voce can try for the two "contour solutions":

• call the prompt function()
• Call function . Focus() from within a programmatic call of an event Handler. click()
