e.preventDefault doesnt work in Android 4.4.4 using angulajrs and cordova

Question

e.preventDefault doesnt work in Android 4.4.4 using angulajrs and cordova

I have noSpace directive which basically just to prevent the space bar to be entered inside password field (input type="password" no-space)

When i deploy the app is using cordova on android space bar is still allowed, though i tried on 4.4.2 it works fine. I also tried the same using emulator on 4.4.2 (and device) it works

    element.bind("keydown", function(e){
     if (e.keyCode === 32 ){
     e.preventDefault();
     e.stopPropagation();
    }

Is this a bug in 4.4.4 ?

android
angularjs
cordova

I was mistaken on my previous answer so i'll just explain one of the ways i'd implement it, which may work.

<input type="text" ng-keydown="disableSpaces($event)">
<script>
    function ctrl($scope){
        $scope.disableSpaces = function($event){
            if($event.keyCode === 32) $event.preventDefault();
        }
    }
</script>

Cheers!
