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

i think this method will help you to find out is keybord is visible or not.

 public Boolean isSoftKeyBoardVisible(){
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

    if (imm.isAcceptingText()) {
        Log.d(TAG,"Software Keyboard was shown");
        return true;
    } else {
        Log.d(TAG,"Software Keyboard was not shown");
        return false;
    }

}
