Prevent Keyboard from closing

Question

I am struggling a little bit with this implementation. I\'m building my first Hello World! android(cordova) application that requires a keyboard to show always and avoid hid

Answer 1

Well, I think I came up with a different way, still not sure if this is how it should be handled.

Add an event listener on Taps

myApp.directive('detectGestures', function ($ionicGesture) {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
        var gestureType = attrs.gestureType;
        switch (gestureType) {
            case 'doubletap':
                $ionicGesture.on('doubletap', scope.reportEvent, elem);
                break;
    }}}
});

Then in My Controller, If keyboard is Visible close else Show

$scope.reportEvent = function (event) {
      if (event.type == 'doubletap') {
          $timeout(function () {
              if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
                  if(cordova.plugins.Keyboard.isVisible){
                      window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard.close();
                  } else {
                      window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard.show();
                  }

              }
           }, 500);
         }
      };

Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
