How to detect when the keyboard is up in adjust nothing mode?

Question

I want to check when the keyboard is up when android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing". The link here didn't work for me in this state.

If you set it to adjustNothing, it's still not possible to detect whether or not the keyboard is visible using his code snippet. To work around this, check this code below.

View activityRootView = findViewById(R.id.activityRoot);
activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
    Rect r = new Rect();
    //r will be populated with the coordinates of your view that area still visible.
    activityRootView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);

    int heightDiff = activityRootView.getRootView().getHeight() - (r.bottom - r.top);
    if (heightDiff > 100) { // if more than 100 pixels, its probably a keyboard...
        ... do something here
    }
 }
});
