On my iPhone when the virtual keyboard pops up for a form field, there are some navigation buttons showing up at the top of the keyboard, which are: "previous", "next", "done". (And sometimes "autofill").
This is apparently the Mobile Safari "form assistant" and it also appears on the WebView in my application.
Is there anything similar for the Android WebView? Any third-party solutions?
I don't think Android supports this natively.
You probably need to implement your own navigation which would probably be easiest as part of your web page.

I'm using Ionic for building a multi-platform hybrid app that, basically, just opens a responsive web app, with InAppBrowser plugin. I can't figure out why, only on Android (on iOS it works as expected), the standard context menu, for copy/paste operation, after a long click on input text, doesn't appear, only the markers for the select text are displayed.
I can't find out what I'm missing, did it suppose to show up by default, on Android, or did I need some configuration, register some listener, use other plugin or whatever?
So, in short, if I copy some text on a device (e.g. from google.com) and I want to be able to paste it, on Android, in an input text, of a page opened with InAppBrowser within my app, is it possible and how can I achieve that?
I confirm that the standard behavior, even with InAppBrowser, is to display the context menu, to manage copy/paste operation, on long click, on the selectable text.
So, in my case, it wasn't an InAppBrowser problem, but it was the site who disable all context menu (iOS just doesn't care and show it anyway, but that's another story).
I am trying to do SSO using Chrome Tabs in my Android Application.
Whenever the chrome comes in it also has options menu of chrome - Is there a way to disable this options menu.
Attached is a screenshot
No, currently is not possibile: you can add items but not remove the button.

Simply use a WebView instead of CustomTabs - then there is nothing to hide away, to begin with.
In cases like this you should use phonegap instead of use chrome browser as webview read the docs
basically it runs chrome webview on android, and safari webview on IOS but without all chrome/safari options.
Hey there so in my opinion you should use simple Android webview if you don't want your user to access these options.
Just create a new activity/fragment that contains webview and open your website or any url within it.
This might help you from android developer docs.
Also try this example that might be useful.
Hello Stackoverflow Community,
I am writing Phonegap application, and i need to support Android 2.3 - 4.1.
On earlier android there are some bugs with keyboard, so I've created custom one on html. Now, I need for all androids version API <= 10 turn of virtual keyboard. Any ideas how to completely programmatically disable it?
Thanks,

put below code in your manifest file, inside actvity node
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
it may help you

First, there are many implementations of "virtual keyboards" in use in Android.
Second, I am not aware that Web developers have generally had problems with Android's soft keyboards. You are welcome to provide links to evidence supporting your claim.
Now, I need for all androids version API <= 10 turn of virtual keyboard. Any ideas how to completely programmatically disable it?
That is not possible. However, if your Web page does not have anything that allows conventional text input (e.g., <textarea>), then the soft keyboard typically will not appear on its own.

I am trying to develop a emoticon keyboard for Android
Please bear in mind that most people do not speak exclusively in emoticons. Either you will need to create a full natural-language soft keyboard that also has emoticons, or users will have to flip back and forth between their regular soft keyboard and yours. The latter seems unlikely to be popular.
would I have to create a softkeyboard?
You are asking to create a soft keyboard.
how can I go about making this app
There is a SoftKeyboard sample app in your SDK that you can use as a starting point. Beyond that, search for tutorials on how to create an InputMethodService.
I wish to create my own custom keyboard on android. It seems the below project on google code project should be able to achieve this. But to extension to this what I also want to add is ability to handle browser events when user is using custom keyboard. ie if user clicks on browser address bar or any text box on the page opened I should be able to determine that as well? Is there a way possible?

I'm not sure what your question is, but I think you are asking how to create a keyboard that is used when the user clicks on textfields in other apps. Is that right?
If you want to create your own virtual keyboard then you should definitely start by reading the Android IME Docs they are really good and even provide code for a example keyboard that you can download.
