I have an app running with Cordova and Ionic. In this app I would like to perform an action on a certain controller when the keyboard completely closes.
Today I'm using cordova.plugins.Keyboard.close(); . The keyboard normally closes. However, I believe you do not have callback in this function.
What is the way when the keyboard closes completely, only then execute something?
You can try something like this:
$scope.reportEvent = function (event) {
if (event.type == 'doubletap') {
$timeout(function () {
if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
if(cordova.plugins.Keyboard.isVisible){
window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard.close();
} else {
window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard.show();
}
}
}, 500);
}
};
On pure Android, there is no listener that indicates the keyboard close event.
What many do is implement a ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener. Here has a SOen post explaining.
In Cordova, I found that in the com.ionic.keyboard plugin, it has the following events ( link ):
Event to handle when the keyboard appears. Internally implements the above strategy
window.addEventListener('native.keyboardshow', keyboardShowHandler);
function keyboardShowHandler(e){
alert('Keyboard height is: ' + e.keyboardHeight);
}
Event to handle when the keyboard disappears
window.addEventListener('native.keyboardhide', keyboardHideHandler);
function keyboardHideHandler(e){
alert('Goodnight, sweet prince');
}
