Set focus on input text box, for scanner input, with no mouse or keyboard attached. about kiosk HOT 2 CLOSED

We won't be adding content-specific functionality to the kiosk app (such as automatically selecting a specific form element on page load). This should be handled at the application level via javascript: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17500704/javascript-set-focus-to-html-form-element

Okay, so the reason that this is not working is because in order for anything to focus within a webview (including from autofocus), the webview itself must be focused as well. Until recently there was no way to reliably focus a webview because of a related bug ( issue 503832 ), but that is fixed now.

Now, if you want to be able to guarantee that autofocus will work when navigating to a page, you should both navigate AND focus the webview. For example, you can use: "webview.src = 'some URL'; webview.focus()". I've tested that and it works for the example link provided with this bug.

May simply be a matter of calling webview.focus() after loading page.
