title: How to completely disable soft keyboard for all input in Android webview
body: <p>I am using phonegap to develop a web app for Android, and since I will have my own keypad in HTML, I need to disable android's system keyboard, preventing the it from showing up when the user clicks on any text input field. I don't want to use readonly input field or <code>onblur()</code> since I would like to have the cursor in the text filed so user can move the cursor position while they're entering inputs.  </p>
  
  <p>So I want to completely disable Android's keyboard on default, I tried adding <code>android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"</code> to <code>manifest.xml</code> but this does not work. </p>
  
  <p>I also try use a javascript interface from <a href="http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/27915465/How%20to%20show%20and%20hide%20soft%20keyboard%20in%20Android">here</a>, but there was a javascript-java bridge crash issue on Android 2.3.x.(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12987">link to issue</a>). So I still don't have a good solution now. Please help.</p>
  
  <p>Thank in advance for any help. </p>
