Is there a way to tell if the soft-keyboard is shown?

Question

is there a way to tell if the softkeyboard is shown in an activity or not?

I tried

InputMethodManager manager = (InputMethodManager) 
getSystemServi

This is my idea. It is untested.

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

        // Checks whether a keyboard is available which is not hard keyboard
        if ((newConfig.keyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO)&&(newConfig.keyboardHidden != Configuration.KEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO)) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "soft keyboard visible", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } else if (newConfig.keyboardHidden == Configuration.KEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "soft keyboard hidden", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
