Way to be notified when the software keyboard is showing/hiding?

Question

Is there a way to be notified when the keyboard is about to show, or has shown? The following events would be great:

keyboardWillShow keyboardDidShow keyboardWillHi

Answer 1

As MatrixFrog mentioned you can use the Activity's onCofigurationChanged method. With that you have keyboardWillShow and keyboardWillHide.

To get the other two you can try using one of the InputMethodManager's methods but I don't think a callback like that exists.

Answer 2

The only way is to override the View's onSizeChanged() method. See this thread on the Android Developers group:
