Android - onConfigurationChanged is not called when keyboard show/hidden

Question

I need to detect hidden key board when hidden keyboard is pressed
My source code

<activity
    android:name="com.teamios.info.activity.MainScreenActivity"
    android:screenOrientation="landscape"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.MyScreenTranNorman"
    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged|adjustPan" />

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard visible", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

I tested in samsung galaxy nexus phone android os 4.2.1, but Toast didn't show when keyboard hidden Please help me.

try this code Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "keyboard visible 1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); — ADT, Sep 11 '13 at 07:42
The problem is when keyboard show/hide then onConfigurationChanged function isn't called — wind, Sep 11 '13 at 08:28
I'm having this same issue on Android 4.4.4 (Cyanogenmod) for an S4 (GT-i9505G). I have an identical phone running 5.0 (Google Play Edition) and it gets the onConfigurationChanged() call just fine. On the 4.4.4 device, the keyboard actually connects and can type characters into my app, but the app is not informed when attachment occurs. May be an OS bug. — Carl, Jun 08 '15 at 08:31

 <activity
        android:name="com.teamios.info.activity.MainScreenActivity"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.MyScreenTranNorman"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged|adjustPan" />

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard visible", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard hidden", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    }

And add

<activity android:name=".MyActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape " > </activity>

in menifest class.

The problem is when keyboard show/hide then onConfigurationChanged function isn't called – wind Sep 11 '13 at 08:29
@wind delete this from android:screenOrientation="landscape" from your code. And add in manifest class. – John R Sep 11 '13 at 08:56
Thank John R, It is not work – wind Sep 11 '13 at 09:22
Yes, still same problem. When screen Orientation is change, onConfigurationChanged function is called but when keyboard is show/hide then not call onConfigurationChanged function . – wind Sep 11 '13 at 09:32
