Events

These events are fired on the window.

A number keyboardHeight is given on the event object, which is the pixel height of the keyboard.
native.keyboardhide
API reference
Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar
Hide the keyboard accessory bar with the next, previous and done buttons.

cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(false);
Supported Platforms

iOS
Keyboard.close
Close the keyboard if it is open.

cordova.plugins.Keyboard.close();
Supported Platforms

iOS, Android, Blackberry 10, Windows
Keyboard.disableScroll
Prevent the native UIScrollView from moving when an input is focused. The telltale sign that this is happening is the top of your app scrolls out of view (if using Ionic, your header bar will disappear).

This does not prevent any DOM elements from being able to scroll. That needs to happen from CSS and JavaScript, not this plugin.

cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(false);
Supported Platforms

iOS, Windows
Keyboard.show
Force keyboard to be shown. This typically helps if autofocus on a text element does not pop up the keyboard automatically

cordova.plugins.Keyboard.show();
Supported Platforms

Android, Blackberry 10, Windows
native.keyboardshow
This event fires when the keyboard will be shown or when the keyboard frame resizes (when switching between keyboards for example)

window.addEventListener('native.keyboardshow', keyboardShowHandler);

function keyboardShowHandler(e){
    alert('Keyboard height is: ' + e.keyboardHeight);
}
Properties

keyboardHeight: the height of the keyboard in pixels

Supported Platforms

iOS, Android, Blackberry 10, Windows
native.keyboardhide
This event fires when the keyboard will hide

window.addEventListener('native.keyboardhide', keyboardHideHandler);

function keyboardHideHandler(e){
    alert('Goodnight, sweet prince');
}
Properties

None
