keyCode on android is always 229

by

Normal keypress event does not give keyCode in android device. There has already been a big discussion on this.

If you want to capture the press of space bar or special chars, you can use textInput event.

$('input').on('textInput', e => {
     var keyCode = e.originalEvent.data.charCodeAt(0);
     // keyCode is ASCII of character entered.
})

Note: textInput does not get triggered on alphabets, number, backspace, enter and few other keys.
