(Android) Set focus to dialog programmatically

To get the keyboard to pop up after creating a dialog:

dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
dialog.show();

Add to activity in manifest:

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

To prevent a Phonegap-wrapped app from opening external links in the apps webview, use javascript to open the link in the external browser.

This works on Android (probably other platforms as well)

<a href="#" data-rel="external" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://www.jymden.com', '_system')">Jymden</a>
