Question

I’m building an application of Html5 + PhoneGap for Android.

I want that when a function call the Android keyboard be hidden.

I tried to do it in the following way:

function HideKeyboard() {
        alert('HideKeyboard');
        plugins.SoftKeyBoard.hide(function () {
              alert('s');
            }, function () {
             alert('f');
           });
        }

It did not work! There is another way?

the alert ‘HideKeyboard’ appears, but other messages do not appear

Here my plugin:

 <plugin name="SoftKeyBoard" value="com.phonegap.plugins.SoftKeyboard.SoftKeyBoard" />

Thank you ..

Answer 1

Did you:

1. Create /src/org/apache/cordova/plugins with SoftKeyBoard.java in it

2. Add the plugin definition to /res/xml/plugins.xml:

   <plugin name="SoftKeyBoard"
          value="org.apache.cordova.plugins.SoftKeyBoard" />
   

3. Add softkeyboard.js to /assets/www/js

4. Add to the head in index.html a reference to softkeyboard.js:

   <script type="text/javascript"
        charset="utf-8"
            src="js/softkeyboard.js"></script>
   

5. Finally call the following on the device:

   window.cordova.plugins.SoftKeyBoard.hide(function () {
     // WooHoo!
   },function () {
     // BooHoo!
   });
   

So far I can only see that you’ve done step 2 & 5.

Updated it was a namespace issue it seems, and I’ve also updated to reflect that. Glad it worked.
