Virtual Keyboard doesn't appear in an Android Hybrid Application but does appear in the web browser, on the same phone

I have a <textarea> type of text field in a web application from my Android mobile.

W开发者_C百科hen I try to access the website with a browser, the virtual keyboard appears as expected. When I try the same thing in an Android application, for the same page, it doesn't work, the virtual keyboard doesn't appear.

Context :

• PhoneGap 0.9.6 is used to help generate application
• a fork a jQTouch is used for the U.I.

The same application works on an iPhone 4.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.

I had to simplify the use of PhoneGap. It worked on the embedded application but not on the website.
