i have to detect if the soft-keyboard was opened. i have read some articles here on how to do it, one example is >this< there was another, maybe better one, but the two ar aiming at the same target, to check if the layout/View was forced to resize.

my problem here is, that that all is java code and i can't do anything with java code, because i don't know the Monodroid equivalents of the API, and some other small things...

Antoher thing i figured out is, that there is a InputMethodService.OnWindowShown() method/Event, and a identifier wheter the keyboard is shown or not. 

var inputManager = (InputMethodService)GetSystemService(InputMethodService);
inputManager.OnWindowShown();
bool bla = inputManager.IsInputViewShown;

is there a way to identify if the keyboard was opened, with these lines, or do i have to do the resize thing? and if the resize is the only thing, how dos it work in Mono for Android?

You can't detect if soft keyboard is shown or not,but you can indirectly know that a soft key board is shown by knowing that the view of your activity is resized.
This 2 lines hide the soft keyboard..

var input = (InputMethodManager)GetSystemService(InputMethodService);
input.HideSoftInputFromWindow(editText1.WindowToken, HideSoftInputFlags.None);

Also can see..

  • i don't want to hide the keyboard, i want to know if the keyboard was opened so i can hide a tabWidget, taking way to much space on the screen. – EaranMaleasi Jan 31 '13 at 06:57
