Hide to show and hide keyboard in DialogFragment

Question

In my dialog fragment, I am able to show the keyboard using

getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT STATE_VISIBLE);
         


        

Answer 1

I had extension for fragment, but didn't work with dialog fragment. This extension works for both (not tested much tho)

/**
 * If no window token is found, keyboard is checked using reflection to know if keyboard visibility toggle is needed
 *
 * @param useReflection - whether to use reflection in case of no window token or not
 */
fun Fragment.hideKeyboard(context: Context = App.instance, useReflection: Boolean = true) {
    val windowToken = view?.rootView?.windowToken
    val imm = context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
    windowToken?.let {
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(windowToken, 0)
    } ?: run {
        if (useReflection) {
            try {
                if (getKeyboardHeight(imm) > 0) {
                    imm.toggleSoftInput(0, InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS)
                }
            } catch (exception: Exception) {
                Timber.e(exception)
            }
        }
    }
}

fun getKeyboardHeight(imm: InputMethodManager): Int = InputMethodManager::class.java.getMethod("getInputMethodWindowVisibleHeight").invoke(imm) as Int

Edit: toggle opened keyboard if it was closed before, I use reflection to get keyboard's height, which is not best solution, but works
