JavaScript keypress event not raised on Android browser

I have created a simple code to handle keypress event:

var counter = 0;        

$('input').on('keypress', function () {

    $('div').text('key pressed ' + ++counter);

});

JSFiddle.

But keypress event handler is not raised on mobile browser (Android 4+, WindowsPhone 7.5+).
What could be the issue?

Use the keyup event:

// JavaScript:

var counter = 0;        

document.querySelector('input').addEventListener('keyup', function () {

    document.querySelector('div').textContent = `key up ${++counter}`;

});



// jQuery:

var counter = 0;        

$('input').on('keyup', function () {

    $('div').text('key up ' + ++counter);

});
