title: How to make the HTML5 input type 'date' trigger the native datepicker on Android?
body: <p>Been trying to use the  element in my web application, which I have tried in these two ways:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>as a standalone html web page, run on Chrome with the user agent
  set to Android 4.0.2 </li>
  <li>in an android app via an activity java file
  and a res/layout file, run through the emulator with Android 4.1.2</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Neither of these two ways work, the datepicker does not pop up the native behavior, just a plain text input box shows up. I have a Samsung Galaxy running Android 4.1.2 and the  tag does display the native behavior (I just visited a random website -not mine- to test this tag) </p>
  
  <p>Is there any other solution than PhoneGap for this problem? I can't believe it is this difficult! It's just a datepicker for heaven's sake..</p>
