Hi

I just realised that EnableKeyboard is only for android and ios! Can i make the keyboard appear on an ios or android browsing an html5 version of my app...

thx

ako

I'm not aware of a way to do this, I'm afraid.
I think the problem is that the browsers don't allow the webpage to decide when it's a good time and make that decision themselves.

What about creating a textfield on the page (off screen maybe) and setting the focus to it?

unless something has changed since I last tried, the page would still require a clickevent to bring up the keyboard.

Why would one use the HTML5 version on Android/iOS anyway when using Monkey?

Not on Android at least. Load up the following in Android and click the button:

On my Android device the keyboard popups up.

Here's a 'quick' embedded keyboard I did as a work around using Jungle GUI..
