[ldhyob]

How in the Service module get the current state of mobile soft keyboard input method,, show or hide?
The following Java code, always return true value, cannot achieve the desired results. Please help me, have what good way？ thank you very much!

        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        boolean isOpen=imm.isActive();

You will need to use the IME library to track the keyboard state. It can only be done from an Activity. You can store the state in a process global variable and test it from the service.

can achieve?

i dont think so. IME only have access to the keyboard showed in your app. Not other apps

First of all thank you for your answer! If you don't use the IME library, are there any other solutions?

 

[Erel]

No. There are no other ways to monitor the keyboard state.
