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

I solved this issue by using onGlobalLayoutListener :

 final View activityRootView = findViewById(R.id.top_root);
        activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                int heightDiff = activityRootView.getRootView().getHeight() - activityRootView.getHeight();

                if (heightDiff > 100) {
                    // keyboard is up
                } else {
                    // keyboard is down
                }
            }
        });

Here activityRootView is your Activity's root view.
