Ok, here is a complete app that exhibits the problem. The key that is necessary is to do a setContentView from the menuItem/onClick/onLongClick. It doesn't help if you
postpone it either, eg using handler.postDelayed() and such.

This is a rather serious bug for anything that uses a WebView.

The framework of the app is taken straight from the Android Hello World app.

PS: I've filed a bug report, but if anybody else has seen this, and/or found a
      work around, I'd be happy to hear it.

--- cut here ---
package com.example.android.helloactivity;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.webkit.WebView;

/**
 * A minimal "Hello, World!" application.
 */
public class HelloActivity extends Activity {
    public HelloActivity() {
    }

    /**
     * Called with the activity is first created.
     */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Set the layout for this activity.  You can find it
        // in res/layout/hello_activity.xml
        setContentView(R.layout.hello_activity);
    }

    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu (Menu menu) {
        boolean result = super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
        menu.add(0, 0, Menu.NONE, "Test");
        return result;
    }

    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case 0:
            WebView w = new WebView (this);
w.loadData("<html><body>fooz <input></body></html>", "text/html",
"utf8");
            setContentView (w);
            break;
        }
        //return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        return false;
    }


}

In case you haven't noticed, the percentage of questions that get asked
here that get answered by Google is fairly small.

this seems like a pretty
serious error in the webview's if you can't type into a html input or
textarea
box on, oh say, the N1. Which is what I'm seeing out in the field.
I cannot reproduce your problem.

WebView w = new WebView (this);
w.loadData("<html><body>fooz<input></body></html>", "text/html",
"utf8");
setContentView (w);

which shows a single input box. There is now way just tapping around the
screen to get it to accept input.
Using your own code, the soft keyboard appears quite nicely on:

-- the T-Mobile G1 (1.6)
-- the Google Ion (1.5)
-- the Nexus One (2.1)
-- the Motorola DROID (2.0.1)
