Use case
Automatically focus on a text field in a WebView so that the keyboard pops up immediately. This makes it easier for the user to interact with the form.
Problem
The usual JavaScript technique doesn’t work on Webviews. Apple (and I think Google) prefer that the keyboard pops up in response to a user tap, not without user interaction. We need it to pop up upon arrival at the page.
Solution
The lines in the screen grab fix the problem in Java.
Add a method to the webview allowing us to specify a form element to focus.
eg
webview.requestFocus('DOM_name_of_text_element')
