Android EditText, soft keyboard show/hide event?

Question

Is it possible to catch the event that Soft Keyboard was shown or hidden for EditText?

Answer 1

You can capture this by overwriting the onConfigurationChanged method of your activity:

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
   super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

   if(newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO) {
      ((SherlockFragmentActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().hide();
   }
   else if(newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES){
      ((SherlockFragmentActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().show();
   }
}
