Register a callback for keyboard open and close
suggest changeThe idea is to measure a layout before and after each change and if there is a significant change you can be somewhat certain that its the softkeyboard.
// A variable to hold the last content layout hight
private int mLastContentHeight = 0;
private ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener keyboardLayoutListener = new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override public void onGlobalLayout() {
int currentContentHeight = findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getHeight();
if (mLastContentHeight > currentContentHeight + 100) {
Timber.d("onGlobalLayout: Keyboard is open");
mLastContentHeight = currentContentHeight;
} else if (currentContentHeight > mLastContentHeight + 100) {
Timber.d("onGlobalLayout: Keyboard is closed");
mLastContentHeight = currentContentHeight;
}
}
};
then in our onCreate
set the initial value for mLastContentHeight
mLastContentHeight = findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getHeight();
and add the listener
rootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(keyboardLayoutListener);
don’t forget to remove the listener on destroy
rootView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(keyboardLayoutListener);
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
Let me know.
