I am using Phonegap 1.9.0 in Android 4.1 with the following simplified index.html page:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova-1.9.0.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" name="somethings"></input>
</body>
</html>
The app comes up fine, but when I give focus to the input and try to give it text, nothing gets entered.
The OS acts as if I am pressing keys (on the virtual keyboard) because it is suggesting spelling corrections and the keyboard UI responds… but nothing makes it into the input field.
What am I missing?
Apparently this is a bug in PhoneGap 1.9.0, and has been fixed for the upcoming 2.0 version
