Android Form Keyboard Closing Issue

I have a basic HTML text input form in my app. For some reason on an Android device, when you click on the form to enter any text, the virtual keyboard closes after each letter is touched. It's as if the form loses focus after any single character is entered into the form. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you handle it? The same form works fine on iPhone.

Hey James

Perhaps you could tell us more about your UI Framework like JQTouch, JqueryMobile or Sencha as well as a touch/tap events you've registered. A code snippet to reproduce the error will tremendously helps to narrow down the problem.

Thanks

I'm curious if you were ever able to resolve this? I'm using the latest JQuery mobile and still have some android users complaining about this. It makes using portions of entering text in the app useless.

Thanks
