Hi. I've been trying to get one of the apps I've been writing with Monkey to work with the Android browser and USB keyboard. The keyboard input works, but the browser keeps pulling down the address bar when each key is pressed - is there a way to stop this?

No worries - sorted it now. Using a different browser solved the problem.

Google really needs to fix/remove that if android is going to support HTML5/flash successfully. Jason

I use dolphin hd browser on my android phone.

I used Devanki Browser. Dolphin is a good browser, but it also had the issue of showing the address bar with keyboard input.

What about if your page containing html5 had a textfield hidden on it which steals the focus of the address bar. Then have a js timeout cleaning it every 10 secs or something. Hacky but might just work. Last edited 2012
