How do I detect if software keyboard is visible on Android Device or not?

Is there a way in Android to detect if the software (a.k.a. \"soft\") keyboard is visible on screen?

final View activityRootView = findViewById(R.id.rootlayout);
activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {

            Rect r = new Rect();
            activityRootView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);

            int screenHeight = activityRootView.getRootView().getHeight();
            Log.e("screenHeight", String.valueOf(screenHeight));
            int heightDiff = screenHeight - (r.bottom - r.top);
            Log.e("heightDiff", String.valueOf(heightDiff));
            boolean visible = heightDiff > screenHeight / 3;
            Log.e("visible", String.valueOf(visible));
            if (visible) {
                Toast.makeText(LabRegister.this, "I am here 1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(LabRegister.this, "I am here 2", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
});
