Soft keyboard open and close listener in an activity in Android

Piece of cake with the awesome KeyboardVisibilityEvent library

KeyboardVisibilityEvent.setEventListener(
    getActivity(),
    new KeyboardVisibilityEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onVisibilityChanged(boolean isOpen) {
            // Ah... at last. do your thing :)
        }
    });

As Vikram pointed out in the comments, detecting whether the softkeyboard is shown or has disappeared is only possible with some ugly hacks.

Maybe it is enough to set a focus listener on the edittext:

yourEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if (hasFocus) {
            //got focus
        } else {
            //lost focus
        }
   }
});

For Activity:

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

                activityRootView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);

                int heightDiff = view.getRootView().getHeight() - (r.bottom - r.top);
                if (heightDiff > 100) { 
                 //enter your code here
                }else{
                 //enter code for hid
                }
            }
        });

For Fragment:

    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.live_chat_fragment, null);
view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                Rect r = new Rect();
                //r will be populated with the coordinates of your view that area still visible.
                view.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);

                int heightDiff = view.getRootView().getHeight() - (r.bottom - r.top);
                if (heightDiff > 500) { // if more than 100 pixels, its probably a keyboard...

                }
            }
        });

Jaap's answer won't work for AppCompatActivity. Instead get the height of the Status Bar and Navigation bar etc and compare to your app's window size.

Like so:

    private ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener keyboardLayoutListener = new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        // navigation bar height
        int navigationBarHeight = 0;
        int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
        if (resourceId > 0) {
            navigationBarHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
        }

        // status bar height
        int statusBarHeight = 0;
        resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
        if (resourceId > 0) {
            statusBarHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
        }

        // display window size for the app layout
        Rect rect = new Rect();
        getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rect);

        // screen height - (user app height + status + nav) ..... if non-zero, then there is a soft keyboard
        int keyboardHeight = rootLayout.getRootView().getHeight() - (statusBarHeight + navigationBarHeight + rect.height());

        if (keyboardHeight <= 0) {
            onHideKeyboard();
        } else {
            onShowKeyboard(keyboardHeight);
        }
    }
};

You can try it:

private void initKeyBoardListener() {
    // Минимальное значение клавиатуры. 
    // Threshold for minimal keyboard height.
    final int MIN_KEYBOARD_HEIGHT_PX = 150;
    // Окно верхнего уровня view. 
    // Top-level window decor view.
    final View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
    // Регистрируем глобальный слушатель. Register global layout listener.
    decorView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        // Видимый прямоугольник внутри окна. 
        // Retrieve visible rectangle inside window.
        private final Rect windowVisibleDisplayFrame = new Rect();
        private int lastVisibleDecorViewHeight;

        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            decorView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(windowVisibleDisplayFrame);
            final int visibleDecorViewHeight = windowVisibleDisplayFrame.height();

            if (lastVisibleDecorViewHeight != 0) {
                if (lastVisibleDecorViewHeight > visibleDecorViewHeight + MIN_KEYBOARD_HEIGHT_PX) {
                    Log.d("Pasha", "SHOW");
                } else if (lastVisibleDecorViewHeight + MIN_KEYBOARD_HEIGHT_PX < visibleDecorViewHeight) {
                    Log.d("Pasha", "HIDE");
                }
            }
            // Сохраняем текущую высоту view до следующего вызова.
            // Save current decor view height for the next call.
            lastVisibleDecorViewHeight = visibleDecorViewHeight;
        }
    });
}

I am late but I just found a very convenient dependency out there. Using it you can check the visibility of the keyboard as well as make the keyboard "Hide" and Show Whenever you want with a single Line of Code.

implementation 'net.yslibrary.keyboardvisibilityevent:keyboardvisibilityevent:3.0.0-RC2'

And then you simply use this code segment to check the keyboard visibility.

KeyboardVisibilityEvent.setEventListener(this, new KeyboardVisibilityEventListener() {
        
@Override
  public void onVisibilityChanged(boolean isOpen) {

if (isOpen) 
  Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "keyboard opened",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
else 
  Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "keyboard hidden", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});

Then if you want to Hide/Show keyboard at any point of time then you can just write one of these single lines to achieve it.

        UIUtil.showKeyboard(this,edittext_to_be_focused);
        UIUtil.hideKeyboard(this);

Insets are the only one official and proper answer. The simple inset listener works like a charm. Here is the code:

ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(binding.root) { _, insets ->
    val imeVisible = insets.isVisible(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.ime())
    insets
}

Attention! This solution works only in case if you set edge-to-edge mode:

WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, false)

Please check official documentation about checking keyboard software visibility and proper implementation of edge-to-edge mode:

For use in Kotlin inside fragment, which is a common use case it is very easy with KeyboardVisibilityEvent library.

In build.gradle:

implementation 'net.yslibrary.keyboardvisibilityevent:keyboardvisibilityevent:3.0.0-RC2'

In Fragment:

activity?.let {
    KeyboardVisibilityEvent.setEventListener(it,object: KeyboardVisibilityEventListener {
        override fun onVisibilityChanged(isOpen: Boolean) {
            if (isOpen) Toast.makeText(context,"Keyboard is opened",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            else Toast.makeText(context,"Keyboard is closed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    })
}

The below code is working for me,

mainLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            if (mainLayout != null) {
                int heightDiff = mainLayout.getRootView().getHeight() - mainLayout.getHeight();
                if (heightDiff > dpToPx(getActivity(), 200)) { 
                   //keyboard is open
                } else {
                   //keyboard is hide
                }
            }
        }
    });

You can use my Rx extension function (Kotlin).

/**
 * @return [Observable] to subscribe of keyboard visibility changes.
 */
fun AppCompatActivity.keyboardVisibilityChanges(): Observable<Boolean> {

    // flag indicates whether keyboard is open
    var isKeyboardOpen = false

    val notifier: BehaviorSubject<Boolean> = BehaviorSubject.create()

    // approximate keyboard height
    val approximateKeyboardHeight = dip(100)

    // device screen height
    val screenHeight: Int = getScreenHeight()

    val visibleDisplayFrame = Rect()

    val viewTreeObserver = window.decorView.viewTreeObserver

    val onDrawListener = ViewTreeObserver.OnDrawListener {

        window.decorView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(visibleDisplayFrame)

        val keyboardHeight = screenHeight - (visibleDisplayFrame.bottom - visibleDisplayFrame.top)

        val keyboardOpen = keyboardHeight >= approximateKeyboardHeight

        val hasChanged = isKeyboardOpen xor keyboardOpen

        if (hasChanged) {
            isKeyboardOpen = keyboardOpen
            notifier.onNext(keyboardOpen)
        }
    }

    val lifeCycleObserver = object : GenericLifecycleObserver {
        override fun onStateChanged(source: LifecycleOwner, event: Lifecycle.Event?) {
            if (source.lifecycle.currentState == Lifecycle.State.DESTROYED) {
                viewTreeObserver.removeOnDrawListener(onDrawListener)
                source.lifecycle.removeObserver(this)
                notifier.onComplete()
            }
        }
    }

    viewTreeObserver.addOnDrawListener(onDrawListener)
    lifecycle.addObserver(lifeCycleObserver)

    return notifier
            .doOnDispose {
                viewTreeObserver.removeOnDrawListener(onDrawListener)
                lifecycle.removeObserver(lifeCycleObserver)
            }
            .onTerminateDetach()
            .hide()
}

Example:

(context as AppCompatActivity)
                    .keyboardVisibilityChanges()
                    .subscribeBy { isKeyboardOpen ->
                        // your logic
                    }

in kotlin you can use this code in your activity

window.decorView.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener{
    val r = Rect()
    window.decorView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r)
 
        val height =window.decorView.height
        if(height - r.bottom>height*0.1399){
           //keyboard is open
      }else{
            //keyboard is close
      }

This will work without any need to change your activity's android:windowSoftInputMode

step 1: extend EditText class and override these two:

@Override
public void setOnEditorActionListener(final OnEditorActionListener listener) {
    mEditorListener = listener;
    super.setOnEditorActionListener(listener);
}

@Override
public boolean onKeyPreIme(final int keyCode, final KeyEvent event) {
    if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
        if (mEditorListener != null) {
            mEditorListener.onEditorAction(this, android.R.id.closeButton, event);
        }
    }
    return super.onKeyPreIme(keyCode, event);
}

step 2: create these two in your activity:

private void initKeyboard() {
    final AppEditText editText = findViewById(R.id.some_id);
    editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            setKeyboard(hasFocus);
        }
    });
    editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (event == null || event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
                editText.clearFocus();
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
}

public void setKeyboard(boolean isShowing) {
    // do something
}

*** remember in order to make clearFocus work, you have to make parent or first child in the parent hierarchy focusable.

    setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    setFocusable(true);

Check my Kotlin extension View.keyboardVisibilityChanges():

fun View.keyboardVisibilityChanges(): Flow<Boolean>{
    return onPreDrawFlow()
        .map { isKeyboardVisible() }
        .distinctUntilChanged()
}

fun View.onPreDrawFlow(): Flow<Unit> {
    return callbackFlow {
        val onPreDrawListener = ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener {
            trySendBlocking(Unit)
            true
        }
        viewTreeObserver.addOnPreDrawListener(onPreDrawListener)
        awaitClose {
            viewTreeObserver.removeOnPreDrawListener(onPreDrawListener)
        }
    }
}

fun View.isKeyboardVisible(): Boolean = ViewCompat.getRootWindowInsets(this)
    ?.isVisible(Type.ime())
    ?: false

If you can, try to extend EditText and override 'onKeyPreIme' method.

@Override
public void setOnEditorActionListener(final OnEditorActionListener listener) {
    mEditorListener = listener; //keep it for later usage
    super.setOnEditorActionListener(listener);
}

@Override
public boolean onKeyPreIme(final int keyCode, final KeyEvent event) {
    if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
        if (mEditorListener != null) {
            //you can define and use custom listener,
            //OR define custom R.id.<imeId>
            //OR check event.keyCode in listener impl
            //* I used editor action because of ButterKnife @
            mEditorListener.onEditorAction(this, android.R.id.closeButton, event);
        }
    }
    return super.onKeyPreIme(keyCode, event);
}

How can you extend it:

1. Implement onFocus listening and declare 'onKeyboardShown'
2. declare 'onKeyboardHidden'

I think, that recalculating of screen height is not 100% successfully as mentioned before. To be clear, overriding of 'onKeyPreIme' is not called on 'hide soft keyboard programatically' methods, BUT if you are doing it anywhere, you should do 'onKeyboardHidden' logic there and do not create a comprehensive solutions.

public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.mainactivity);
    attachKeyboardListeners();
    ....
    yourEditText1.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (hasFocus) {
                yourEditText2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                yourEditText3.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                yourEditText4.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                yourEditText5.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            } else {
                yourEditText2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                yourEditText3.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                yourEditText4.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                yourEditText5.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
            }
       }
    });
    }
}

            if(started.get())
                mHandler.obtainMessage(CLEAR_FOCUS).sendToTarget();
        }   
    }

    public void keyboardOpened()
    {
        synchronized(this)
        {
            notify();
        }
    }

    public void stopThread()
    {
        synchronized(this)
        {
            started.set(false);
            notify();
        }
    }

}
}

In Android Manifest, android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" is necessary.

/*
Somewhere else in your code
*/
RelativeLayout mainLayout = findViewById(R.layout.main_layout); // You must use the layout root
InputMethodManager im = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

/*
Instantiate and pass a callback
*/
SoftKeyboard softKeyboard;
softKeyboard = new SoftKeyboard(mainLayout, im);
softKeyboard.setSoftKeyboardCallback(new SoftKeyboard.SoftKeyboardChanged() {

@Override
public void onSoftKeyboardHide()  {
    // Code here
}

@Override
public void onSoftKeyboardShow() {
    // Code here
}   
});

/*
Open or close the soft keyboard easily
*/
softKeyboard.openSoftKeyboard();
softKeyboard.closeSoftKeyboard();

/* Prevent memory leaks:*/
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    softKeyboard.unRegisterSoftKeyboardCallback();
}

P.S - Completely taken from here.

For the case of adjustResize and FragmentActivity accepted solution from @Jaap doesn't work for me.

Here is my solution:

private ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener keyboardLayoutListener = new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
    private int contentDiff;
    private int rootHeight;
    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        View contentView = getWindow().findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT);
        if (rootHeight != mDrawerLayout.getRootView().getHeight()) {
            rootHeight = mDrawerLayout.getRootView().getHeight();
            contentDiff = rootHeight - contentView.getHeight();
            return;
        }
        int newContentDiff = rootHeight - contentView.getHeight();
        if (contentDiff != newContentDiff) {
            if (contentDiff < newContentDiff) {
                onShowKeyboard(newContentDiff - contentDiff);
            } else {
                onHideKeyboard();
            }
            contentDiff = newContentDiff;
        }
    }
};

A different approach would be to check when the user stopped typing...

When a TextEdit is in focus (user is/was typing) you could hide the views (focus listener)

and use a Handler + Runnable and a text change listener to close the keyboard (regardless of its visibility) and show the views after some delay.

The main thing to look out for would be the delay you use, which would depend on the content of these TextEdits.

Handler timeoutHandler = new Handler();
Runnable typingRunnable = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        // current TextEdit
        View view = getCurrentFocus();

        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        // reset focus
        view.clearFocus();
        // close keyboard (whether its open or not)
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.RESULT_UNCHANGED_SHOWN);

        // SET VIEWS VISIBLE
    }
};

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if (hasFocus) {
            // SET VIEWS GONE

            // reset handler
            timeoutHandler.removeCallbacks(typingRunnable);
            timeoutHandler.postDelayed(typingRunnable, TYPING_TIMEOUT);
        }
    }
});

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        // Reset Handler...
        timeoutHandler.removeCallbacks(typingRunnable);
    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        // Reset Handler Cont.
        if (editText.getText().toString().trim().length() > 0) {
            timeoutHandler.postDelayed(typingRunnable, TYPING_TIMEOUT);
        }
    }
});

This code works great nice

use this class for root view:

public class KeyboardConstraintLayout extends ConstraintLayout {

private KeyboardListener keyboardListener;
private EditText targetEditText;
private int minKeyboardHeight;
private boolean isShow;

public KeyboardConstraintLayout(Context context) {
    super(context);
    minKeyboardHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.keyboard_min_height); //128dp
}

public KeyboardConstraintLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    minKeyboardHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.keyboard_min_height); // 128dp
}

public KeyboardConstraintLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    minKeyboardHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.keyboard_min_height); // 128dp
}

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    if (!isInEditMode()) {
        Activity activity = (Activity) getContext();
        @SuppressLint("DrawAllocation")
        Rect rect = new Rect();
        getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rect);

        int statusBarHeight = rect.top;
        int keyboardHeight = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight() - (rect.bottom - rect.top) - statusBarHeight;

        if (keyboardListener != null && targetEditText != null && targetEditText.isFocused()) {
            if (keyboardHeight > minKeyboardHeight) {
                if (!isShow) {
                    isShow = true;
                    keyboardListener.onKeyboardVisibility(true);
                }
            }else {
                if (isShow) {
                    isShow = false;
                    keyboardListener.onKeyboardVisibility(false);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}

public boolean isShowKeyboard() {
    return isShow;
}

public void setKeyboardListener(EditText targetEditText, KeyboardListener keyboardListener) {
    this.targetEditText = targetEditText;
    this.keyboardListener = keyboardListener;
}

public interface KeyboardListener {
    void onKeyboardVisibility (boolean isVisible);
}

}

and set keyboard listener in activity or fragment:

        rootLayout.setKeyboardListener(targetEditText, new KeyboardConstraintLayout.KeyboardListener() {
        @Override
        public void onKeyboardVisibility(boolean isVisible) {

        }
    });

This is not working as desired...

... have seen many use size calculations to check ...

I wanted to determine if it was open or not and I found isAcceptingText()

so this really does not answer the question as it does not address opening or closing rather more like is open or closed so it is related code that may help others in various scenarios...

in an activity

    if (((InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).isAcceptingText()) {
        Log.d(TAG,"Software Keyboard was shown");
    } else {
        Log.d(TAG,"Software Keyboard was not shown");
    }

in a fragment

    if (((InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).isAcceptingText()) {
        Log.d(TAG,"Software Keyboard was shown");
    } else {
        Log.d(TAG,"Software Keyboard was not shown");

    }

Found an accurate way of telling whether or not a keyboard when using the 'adjustResize' Soft input mode (Kotlin code)

Define a couple of activity scope variables

private var activityHeight = 0
private var keyboardOpen = false

Write the following code in onCreate

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        
        ...

        /* Grab initial screen value */
        [email protected] {
            val displayFrame : Rect = Rect()
            [email protected](displayFrame)
            activityHeight = displayFrame.height()
        }

        /* Check for keyboard open/close */
        [email protected] { v, left, top, right, bottom, oldLeft, oldTop, oldRight, oldBottom ->
            val drawFrame : Rect = Rect()
            [email protected](drawFrame)
            val currentSize = drawFrame.height()

            keyboardOpen = currentSize < activityHeight
            Log.v("keyboard1","$keyboardOpen $currentSize - $activityHeight")
        }
}

You now have a boolean which accurately tracks whether or not the keyboard is open, do what you will

val windowView = activity?.window?.decorView ?: return
        
ViewCompat.setWindowInsetsAnimationCallback(
    windowView,
    object : WindowInsetsAnimationCompat.Callback(DISPATCH_MODE_CONTINUE_ON_SUBTREE) {
        override fun onProgress(
            insets: WindowInsetsCompat,
            runningAnimations: MutableList<WindowInsetsAnimationCompat>
        ): WindowInsetsCompat {
            val isKeyboardOpen = insets.isVisible(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.ime())
            // insert your needed logic here
            return insets
        }
    }
)

This works for me. It relies on being notified of the window insets which are applied to the window of the activity. You can use this in a Fragment and it should work fine.

One caveat might be, that this callback could survive the Fragment you are using it for. Calling ViewCompat.setWindowInsetsAnimationCallback(windowView, null) should do the trick.

I couldn't quite get the same logic working using ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(). This approach only works when making your application not fit the system windows (e. g. using WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, false)). The suggested solution works without touching the Fragment or its layout.

You just need to use this override method:

override fun onStartInputView(editorInfo: EditorInfo?, restarting: Boolean) {
    super.onStartInputView(editorInfo, restarting)

No extra code required. This method will always be triggered whenever your keyboard becomes visible. Click on any text input area and your InputMethodSerivce class will trigger this callback.

That's it! Happy Coding

Unfortunately I do not have a sufficiently high reputation to comment on Jaap van Hengstum's answer. But I read a few comments of people, having the problem that contentViewTop is always 0 and that onShowKeyboard(...) is always called.

I had the same issue and figured out the problem I had. I used an AppCompatActivity instead of a 'normal' Activity. In this case Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT refers to an ContentFrameLayout and not to the FrameLayout with the right top-value. In my case it was fine to use the 'normal' Activity, if you have to use another activity-type (I just tested the AppCompatActivity, maybe it's also an issue with other acitivy-types like the FragmentActivity), you have to access the FrameLayout, which is an ancestor of the ContentFrameLayout.

private boolean isKeyboardShown = false;
private int prevContentHeight = 0;
private ViewGroup contentLayout;

private ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener keyboardLayoutListener =
        new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        int contentHeight = contentLayout.getHeight();
        int rootViewHeight = contentLayout.getRootView().getHeight();

        if (contentHeight > 0) {

            if (!isKeyboardShown) {
                if (contentHeight < prevContentHeight) {
                    isKeyboardShown = true;
                    onShowKeyboard(rootViewHeight - contentHeight);
                }
            } else {
                if (contentHeight > prevContentHeight) {
                    isKeyboardShown = false;
                    onHideKeyboard();
                }
            }

            prevContentHeight = contentHeight;
        }
    }
};

I've modified the Jaap's accepted answer a bit. But in my case, there are few assumptions such as android:windowSoftInputMode=adjustResize and the keyboard does not show up at the beginning when the app starts. And also, I assume that the screen in regard matches the parent's height.

contentHeight > 0 this check provides me to know if the regarding screen is hidden or shown to apply keyboard event listening for this specific screen. Also I pass the layout view of the regarding screen in attachKeyboardListeners(<your layout view here>) in my main activity's onCreate() method. Every time when the height of the regarding screen changes, I save it to prevContentHeight variable to check later whether the keyboard is shown or hidden.

For me, so far it's been worked pretty well. I hope that it works for others too.

You can handle keyboard visibility by overriding two methods in your Activity: onKeyUp() and onKeyDown() more information in this link: https://developer.android.com/training/keyboard-input/commands

at the first create a kotlin file and add these methods:

fun Activity.getRootView(): View {
    return findViewById<View>(android.R.id.content)
}
fun Context.convertDpToPx(dp: Float): Float {
    return TypedValue.applyDimension(
            TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 
            dp, 
            this.resources.displayMetrics
    )
}
fun Activity.isKeyboardOpen(): Boolean {
    val visibleBounds = Rect()
    this.getRootView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(visibleBounds)
    val heightDiff = getRootView().height - visibleBounds.height()
    val marginOfError = Math.round(this.convertDpToPx(50F))
    return heightDiff > marginOfError
}

fun Activity.isKeyboardClosed(): Boolean {
    return !this.isKeyboardOpen()
}

then create a listener class for checking the keyboard is open or not :

class KeyboardEventListener(
        private val activity: AppCompatActivity,
        private val callback: (isOpen: Boolean) -> Unit
) : LifecycleObserver {
     private val listener = object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
     private var lastState: Boolean = activity.isKeyboardOpen()
      override fun onGlobalLayout() {
            val isOpen = activity.isKeyboardOpen()
            if (isOpen == lastState) {
                return
            } else {
                dispatchKeyboardEvent(isOpen)
                lastState = isOpen
            }
        }
    }
    init {
        // Dispatch the current state of the keyboard
        dispatchKeyboardEvent(activity.isKeyboardOpen())
        // Make the component lifecycle aware
        activity.lifecycle.addObserver(this)
        registerKeyboardListener()
    }
    private fun registerKeyboardListener() {
        activity.getRootView().viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(listener)
    }
    private fun dispatchKeyboardEvent(isOpen: Boolean) {
        when {
            isOpen  -> callback(true)
            !isOpen -> callback(false)
        }
    }
    @OnLifecycleEvent(value = Lifecycle.Event.ON_PAUSE)
    @CallSuper
    fun onLifecyclePause() {
        unregisterKeyboardListener()
    }
    private fun unregisterKeyboardListener() {
        activity.getRootView().viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(listener)
    }
}

and use it like this :

override fun onResume() {
      super.onResume()
      KeyboardEventListener(this) { isOpen -> // handle event }
  }

I hope you find it useful.

Solution with extra property in Activity\Fragment, but without any hypothetical hardcoded heights (like 100 etc) . Just add OnGlobalLayoutListener to your root view and save its initial height before keyboard will be shown:

var firstLoad         = true
var contentFullWeight = 0

override fun onViewCreated(layoutView: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(layoutView, savedInstanceState)

    view?.viewTreeObserver?.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {

        if(firstLoad){
            contentFullWeight = view?.height!!
            firstLoad = false
        }

        if (view?.height!! < contentFullWeight) {
            Log.d("TEZT_KEYBOARD", ">> KBD OPENED")
        } else {
            Log.d("TEZT_KEYBOARD", ">> KBD closed")
        }
    })

}
