Create A New Keyboard - While Disabling Native One - For A PhoneGap Android App

This is a PhoneGap Android application; so when the app is launched, the [login to view URL] is opened. The index file has a text box inside a div. When the user touches the box, the native Android keyboard comes up at the bottom and the user is able to type in the box. The native android keyboard now has swype feature (which started with the KitKat 4.4); I want this disabled. So, my project is this: - to make typing possible in text box a.) by using some plugin keyboard (like ionic keyboard) and disabling native keyboard or by devising a custom keyboard without swype b.) by programmatically disabling the swyping feature in native keyboard and making it a simple keyboard. I am using Cordova 3.6.3 version. I am not using any other frame work. Please tell me after checking the files I have sent a) if you have handled similar jobs before and b) if this is doable. I want to finalise and get the project completed fast. PS: I am sending the www files inside the asset folder.
