How to capture the "virtual keyboard show/hide" event in Android?
I would like to alter the layout based on whether the virtual keyboard is shown or not. I've searched the API and various blogs but can't seem to find anything useful.
Is it possible?
Thanks!
You've got to handle configuration changes yourself.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html#HandlingTheChange
Sample:
// from the link above
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
// Checks whether a hardware keyboard is available
if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO) {
Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard visible", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES) {
Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard hidden", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Then just change the visibility of some views, update a field, and change your layout file.
Note
This solution will not work for soft keyboards and onConfigurationChanged will not be called for soft keyboards.
This may not be the most effective solution. But this worked for me every time... I call this function where ever i need to listen to the softKeyboard.
boolean isOpened = false;
public void setListenerToRootView() {
final View activityRootView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);
activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
int heightDiff = activityRootView.getRootView().getHeight() - activityRootView.getHeight();
if (heightDiff > 100) { // 99% of the time the height diff will be due to a keyboard.
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gotcha!!! softKeyboardup", 0).show();
if (isOpened == false) {
//Do two things, make the view top visible and the editText smaller
}
isOpened = true;
} else if (isOpened == true) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "softkeyborad Down!!!", 0).show();
isOpened = false;
}
}
});
}
Note: This approach will cause issues if the user uses a floating keyboard.
If you want to handle show/hide of IMM (virtual) keyboard window from your Activity, you'll need to subclass your layout and override onMesure method(so that you can determine the measured width and the measured height of your layout). After that set subclassed layout as main view for your Activity by setContentView(). Now you'll be able to handle IMM show/hide window events. If this sounds complicated, it's not that really. Here's the code:
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/SearchText"
android:text=""
android:inputType="text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="34dip"
android:singleLine="True"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Search"
android:layout_width="60dip"
android:layout_height="34dip"
android:gravity = "center"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Now inside your Activity declare subclass for your layout (main.xml)
public class MainSearchLayout extends LinearLayout {
public MainSearchLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet) {
super(context, attributeSet);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.main, this);
}
@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
Log.d("Search Layout", "Handling Keyboard Window shown");
final int proposedheight = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
final int actualHeight = getHeight();
if (actualHeight > proposedheight){
// Keyboard is shown
} else {
// Keyboard is hidden
}
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}
You can see from the code that we inflate layout for our Activity in subclass constructor
inflater.inflate(R.layout.main, this);
And now just set content view of subclassed layout for our Activity.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
MainSearchLayout searchLayout = new MainSearchLayout(this, null);
setContentView(searchLayout);
}
// rest of the Activity code and subclassed layout...
}
