native.keyboardshow Not Firing

[aintnorest]

I have a simple function that changes the text of a div on native.keyboardshow with cordova v. 3.5 on an ios app. The emulator has it working great on the iphone io 6.1 but its not firing on iphone retina io 7.1

+1 I've been dealing with this issue for 2 months and have yet to come up with a good solution. The input doesn't focus until the second tap, but the keyboard shows immediately. native.keyboardshow does not fire, nor does focus.

I couldn't get the event to get fired on both iOS 7 and 8, but I guess it could be an issue due to the default inclusion of the Cordova keyboard plugin by Steroids... (https://muut.com/i/appgyver/steroids:steroids-35-cordova-plugin). Can both plugins coexist in the same app?

same as @runspired, any update?

In my case I just needed to add IonicKeyboard.m to the Target Membership in Xcode

update on this ?

Hmm haven't seen this yet, if someone posts some code replicating the issue I'll take a look.

[runspired]

@tlancina I solved this. It's not an issue with the ionic keyboard plugin (persay), it's an issue with events getting lost when the keyboard pushes the page upwards. The ghost click ios fires to focus the input on touchEnd is positionally based and doesn't hit the right target since the target has since moved.

In theory the problem is done away with if you implement a fastfocus mechanism (which you probably should be doing anyway), but it's also something I hit often enough until I did it should be mentioned in the docs with a solution.

@runspired ahh the curse of the 300ms delay :) Thanks for posting your findings! Although that seems strange, since on iOS the event is fired with UIKeyboardWillShow... which I have never observed to not happen when the keyboard did in fact show, regardless of focus or not.

I'll leave this open for now for others who may be having issues, or, if I can replicate it I'll add it to the docs.

This plugin also doesn't fire with none native keyboards. like swiftkey...
is there a solution?

*edit - might be related to cordova 5.0 and android 4.0.0 cordova. Will investigate furtuer

[twavis]

@runspired I've ran into this on android and was wondering if you could elaborate on your fix...

I'm already using a fastclick library and it happens (native.keyboardshow doesn't fire) even when the input isn't shifting on focus..

Still having this problem in Cordova 5.4, any updates?

[ghost]

Is there any fix for this? I have been losing sleep over this for weeks. The plugin behaves very inconstantly on Android, especially due to the variability and inconsistency of the platform.
