Air Native Extension to measure soft keyboard size (Android)
This is an Air native extension that measures the soft keyboard size, because the actionscript method flash.display.Stage.softKeyboardRect():Rectangle doesn't return a correct value in Android.
Usage
//get the height of the keyboard
var keyboardHeight:Number = MeasureKeyboard.getInstance().getKeyboardHeight() as Number;
//get the y (vertical position) of the keyboard
var keyboardY:Number = MeasureKeyboard.getInstance().getKeyboardY() as Number;
//by default, soft keyboard will push the screen upward, this method can disable it.
MeasureKeyboard.getInstance().setKeyboardAdjustNothing();Notes:
- included binary has been compiled for 64-bit iOS support
