OnKeyUp event in Android browser for non-lingual languages

Question

The default browser for Android does not fire OnKeyUp events on text inputs if the user enters non-Latin characters.

For example http://jsfiddle.net/Hzjhz/ . It works for English characters, but does not work for Russian and Korean characters.

Are there any ways to avoid the problem?

Answer 1

I could confirm this problem on my Nexus S phone running ICS. Although I do not have a direct answer to this question, I could offer you several alternatives.

• Try also binding the onBlur event, and you can check the data that the user entered.
• Another alternative is to hook setTimeout to the onfocus event and try to check if the text entered by the user has changed.

Answer 2

Try using onKeyMultiple for non-Latin IME characters. I did not use this for the browser, but in the application for another use case.

You should try this, if it works, I will talk about it.

Answer 3

try InputEvent , it works in the default android browser. don't work in chrome
