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

you can try this, work great for me:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

if (imm.isAcceptingText()) {
    //Software Keyboard was shown..
} else {
    //Software Keyboard was not shown..
}
