I have the following problem, I need to disable the native Keyboard completely. The keyboard should only show when I call the show() and hide when I call the close() function (this will be on a Button for the user to toggle the Keyboard). The Keyboard showing on clicking the Field and on Focus needs to be completely disabled.
On Stackoverflow I found this: InputMethodManager im = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); im.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
So my thought was In the "Init"(Line 52 in the IonicKeyboard.java) I need to change it.
if ("init".equals(action)) {
cordova.getThreadPool().execute(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//new Logic on init
View v = cordova.getActivity().getCurrentFocus();
((InputMethodManager) cordova.getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
cordova.getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
final float density = dm.density;
//http://stackoverflow.com/a/4737265/1091751 detect if keyboard is showing
final View rootView = cordova.getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content).getRootView();
OnGlobalLayoutListener list = new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
int previousHeightDiff = 0;
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Rect r = new Rect();
//r will be populated with the coordinates of your view that area still visible.
rootView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
PluginResult result;
int heightDiff = rootView.getRootView().getHeight() - r.bottom;
int pixelHeightDiff = (int)(heightDiff / density);
if (pixelHeightDiff > 100 && pixelHeightDiff != previousHeightDiff) { // if more than 100 pixels, its probably a keyboard...
String msg = "S" + Integer.toString(pixelHeightDiff);
result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, msg);
result.setKeepCallback(true);
callbackContext.sendPluginResult(result);
}
else if ( pixelHeightDiff != previousHeightDiff && ( previousHeightDiff - pixelHeightDiff ) > 100 ){
String msg = "H";
result = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, msg);
result.setKeepCallback(true);
callbackContext.sendPluginResult(result);
}
previousHeightDiff = pixelHeightDiff;
}
};
rootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(list);
PluginResult dataResult = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK);
dataResult.setKeepCallback(true);
callbackContext.sendPluginResult(dataResult);
}
});
return true;
}
return false; // Returning false results in a "MethodNotFound" error.
}
Sadly this does not work at all...
I think I have to change the close / show function too but I am not really sure what the correct code is, and I dont know if this change would affect other Keyboard behaviour. (But I basically need Focus without Keyboard)
I also found this Cordova Plugin
which looks very promising, but I decided to change this in the Ionic Keyboard Plugin, because I need the same behaviour in Windows too. Very glad if someone could help me out here.
