Android Question how to get softkeybar height

[Cnrez]

hi all,

is there a way to get a softkey bar height (in Dip) in b4a ?
i want to calculate the layout of my application, because it is looked squashed, but when app is installed with device with physical key, it looked normal.

regards

The keyboard height is not constant. See this tutorial: Handle the soft keyboard with the IME library

It allows you to get the current height when the keyboard state changes.

thanks you erel,

This height is not important for your app. The activity height doesn't include it. Properly use anchors and your layout will look good on all devices.
