Getting the dimensions of the soft keyboard

Question

Is there a way to know the size of the keyboard that is shown in the screen?

I am using Cocos2dx for programming, but I want to know the height of the keyboard shown

Answer 1

If you want to calculate the Virtual Keyboard height while your activity does not change in size (adjustPan) then you can use this sample:

https://github.com/siebeprojects/samples-keyboardheight

It uses a hidden window in order to calculate the height difference between the window and the root view of the activity.
