Not sure this is a working solution and answer, but my inputs started playing along on Android after commenting out these, which all created havoc on my Android (HTC2.3) text inputs and selects
/* really bad */
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
/* your normal bad */
-webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg);
-moz-transform: rotateY(0deg);
transform: rotateY(0deg);
If you want to style default inputs, I'm using these:
/* native placeholder styling */
::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color:#555555;
}
:-moz-placeholder {
color:#555555;
}
.inField label {
color:#555555;
cursor: text;
}
After commenting out the first webkits, Android is working ok for me. I'm overriding plenty of other stuff, too though.
Also check out the screenshot below:
What I did with my inputs is create a listview, put all my inputs into list items and strip all input-JQM-CSS. This should give you a transparent input sitting on top of a listview item, which I think looks really good. You can also add labels to the inputs, my example is set up to work with the inField label plugin, so you have all these classes on board already, too.
The screenshot is from my Android HTC 2.3.5 and shows an input type="search". It's a listview search filter, which I stripped of most JQM-css. I have removed it from the listview further down, placed it into my form-list, added a label (can't see if active) and stripped all CSS, including icons.
Here is an example of how I'm doing my list-forms:
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true" class="inputList">
<li data-role="fieldcontain" data-icon="false" class="inField ui-btn ui-corner-top" data-theme="c">
<div class="ui-btn-inner" aria-hidden="true"><div class="ui-btn-text">
<label for="item">item</label>
<input type="text" name="item" id="item" />
</div></div>
</li>
<li data-role="fieldcontain" data-icon="false" class="inField ui-btn ui-corner-bottom" data-theme="c">
<div class="ui-btn-inner" aria-hidden="true"><div class="ui-btn-text">
<label for="item2">item2</label>
<input type="text" name="item2" id="item2" />
</div></div>
</li>
</ul>
CSS:
.inputList li div.ui-btn-inner {
background: none;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
border-left-width: 0px;
border-right-width: 0px;
}
.inputList label {
margin: 3px 0 0 !important;
}
// styling of text inputs!
.inputList input.ui-input-text, .inputList textarea.ui-input-text {
width: 93%;
margin-left: 1%;
padding: 0.6em 0;
text-indent: 80px; /* hard-coded - doesn't work on Android */
border-width: 0px;
background: transparent;
-moz-box-shadow: none;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none;
-moz-border-radius:0px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0px;
border-radius: 0px;
}
.inputList .ui-li-divider:not(.input-divider), .inputList .ui-li-static, .inputList .ui-li-has-alt, .inputList .ui-link-inherit, .inputList .ui-btn-icon-notext .ui-btn-inner {
padding: 0px !important;
}
// labels, from inField label plugin, but not active
.inField {
position:relative
}
.inField label {
line-height: 2.25em;
vertical-align: middle;
position:absolute;
left:8pt;
width: inherit !important;
}
I hope this is all CSS. If you are trying to set this up and it looks crummy, let me know.
Working like this looks very nice on my HTC 2.3.4 My CSS still needs some polishing. I need to decrease the inputs width and align: center, so the borders of the below list item stay visible.
Other than that this would be a nice solution to crummy Android inputs. Just strip all JQM-CSS and put a listview-li behind.

translate3din your CSS? You could try the solution from this blog: java-cerise.blogspot.co.nz/2011/10/…. If that doesn't work, I also read elsewhere that you might have to add translate3d(0,0,0) to each individual input. That only solves the positioning problem though I think. – Demagogy
