How to check visibility of software keyboard in Android?

Question

I need to do a very simple thing - find out if the software keyboard is shown. Is this possible in Android?

Answer 1

Instead of assuming the difference coding I did something like this, as I dint had menu options in my application.

final View root= findViewById(R.id.myrootview); 
root.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        int heightDiff = root.getRootView().getHeight() - root.getHeight();

        Rect rectgle= new Rect();
        Window window= getWindow();
        window.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rectgle);
        int contentViewTop=                     
          window.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop();
        if(heightDiff <= contentViewTop){
            //Soft KeyBoard Hidden
        }else{
            //Soft KeyBoard Shown
        }
     }
});
