android - Getting the dimensions of the soft keyboard

Question

Is there a way to know the size of the keyboard that is shown in the screen?

I am using Cocos2dx for programming, but I want to know the height of the keyboard shown in screen in the part of Android or the part of Cocos, it does not matter.

I know that Keyboard has a getHeight() method but I don't want to create new keyboards, i want to use the default one.

We did it with this

myLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

                @Override
                public void onGlobalLayout() {

                    Rect r = new Rect();
                    parent.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);

                    int screenHeight = parent.getRootView().getHeight();
                    int heightDifference = screenHeight - (r.bottom - r.top);
                    Log.d("Keyboard Size", "Size: " + heightDifference);

                }
            });

We only resize views with the keyboard, so we could use this.
