The keyboard in an iOS web view has an InputAccessoryView with Previous, Next and Done buttons.

This plugin allows the toolbar to be hidden.

Include the Javascript after cordova.js and before your application's javascript file

<script type="text/javascript" src="keyboard_toolbar_remover.js"></script>

In your Javascript, include the module

var toolbar = cordova.require('cordova/plugin/keyboard_toolbar_remover');

To disable the toolbar

toolbar.hide()

To re-enable the toolbar

toolbar.show()

Copy KeyboardToolbarRemover.h and KeyboardToolbarRemover.m to the Plugins directory of your iOS project.

Copy keyboard_toolbar_remover.js to the www directory of your project.

Edit Cordova.plist. Add an entry under the plugin section mapping KeyboardToolbarRemover to KeyboardToolbarRemover.

The pluginstall tool will automatically install Cordova plugins that confirm to the cordova-plugin-spec.

back your project up before running pluginstall

Install pluginstall using npm (requires Node.js)

npm install -g pluginstall

Install the plugin

pluginstall ios /path/to/project /path/to/plugin

The code to hide the toolbar is based on the Josh Garnham's code in a blog post. (Scroll down to the Bonus Code section.)
