Input with autofocus property on Android browsers

Question

When using

<input type='text' autofocus>

the user can directly start typing after loading the page on a computer browser, without any other click.

On Chrome Android, the input receives indeed the focus on load, but the keyboard is not opened, then all the point of autofocus is lost.

How to make it work correctly on Android?

Sadly, this does not work. The `input` has focus, but the keyboard is not opened on Chrome Android. – Basj Oct 18 '19 at 08:29
do you have js active when you instanciated the webview ? – ScrapBench Oct 18 '19 at 08:33
Yes, JS is always enabled in my browser, I never disabled it. – Basj Oct 18 '19 at 08:42
