OnKeyPress is not being called in android webview... My Html code is simple

<input type="number" onkeypress="myFunc()"/>

function myFunc(){
alert(fired up!);
}

All the other keyevents i.e keyup, keydown are working.

  • Are you sure that this "alert" is working fine? Check this link [JavaScript alert not working in Android WebView][1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5271898/javascript-alert-not-working-in-android-webview – Marc LaQuay Dec 02 '14 at 07:50
  • Yes alerts are working fine its just the keypress event that's not working – Syed Wajahat Ali Dec 02 '14 at 07:57

  • Try to use WebChromeClient for loading it.
  • Try to build with lower version. Because in latest version API 17 and above they added JavascriptInterface. You need to include this as a seperate class that extends JavascriptInterface.

    To reduce application compatibility try to build with 16 or below.

Android Webview really doesn't fire onkeypress event (even on newer versions of Android).

One posible solution is to replace it with onkeyup or onkeydown, like this:

<input type="number" onkeyup="myFunc()"/>

function myFunc(){
   alert(fired up!);
}
