Teleprinter
The missing Android keyboard API
Usage
//this == AppCompatActivity
val teleprinter = Teleprinter(this)
teleprinter.showKeyboard(edittext)
//later...
teleprinter.hideKeyboard()
//alternatively...
teleprinter.toggleKeyboard()You can add listeners too:
teleprinter.addOnKeyboardOpenedListener {
Toast.makeText(this, "Keyboard opened", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show()
}and
teleprinter.addOnKeyboardClosedListener {
Toast.makeText(this, "Keyboard closed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show()
}Dependency
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
then:
implementation("com.github.Commit451:Teleprinter:2.2.0")
Teleprinter also requires Java 8 bytecode. To enable, add the following to your build.gradle:
android {
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).all {
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
}
Note
It is worth noting that this library is a "hack" around a lack of an official keyboard API from Google, therefore it is potentially breakable with each Android version, and does not work with certain keyboard configurations, such as "floating keyboards" or very small keyboards, or even hardware keyboards. Keep these things in mind when using this library.
