Irrlicht Engine

Hello,
I'm trying to get the height of the Android keyboard that appears on-screen so I can move textboxes up into the screen's view.

Looking through the android_tools.cpp code for setSoftInputVisibility, I see jclass classView = jni->FindClass("android/view/View"); and jmethodID mid_getDecorView = jni->GetMethodID(classWindow, "getDecorView", "()Landroid/view/View;");
which I assume are pieces of something I need to determine the height.

Just wanted to see if anyone knew of a way to get their keyboard height
Thanks

Sorry, don't know. But I also couldn't figure out the problem you run into last time with the soft-keyboard failing on newer Android when in landscape mode. I've looked into that a lot, but in the end gave up because like it looks like it's a problem in the Java-code (my guess is that inputmethodservice/SoftInputWindow.java dispatchTouchEvent is running into an invalid bounds-check). And google doesn't officially support mixing native code and their Java SDK. Which means - there isn't really an offiical way to use the Android keyboard with native code. I've decided to go completely with self-coded custom keyboards in the future unless Google starts caring about NDK developers more some day.

The strange issue with my keyboard from an earlier post is fine and working again. Google seems to be updating the keyboard, though I can't speak for all Android phone devices.

Hmm okay.
Do you have any recommendations on what I should look online for making a custom keyboard?

Well, basically a keyboard is a gui-dialog with a bunch of buttons. Buttons can send key-events to Irrlicht.
That's pretty much it :-) (get's more complicated with international keyboards when you need different layouts...)

Ah okay that makes sense.
I just want it to look like the actual Android keyboard but I can make that happen, I'm sure. Thanks!
