Question 1

How to hide the keyboard accessory bar in Cordova iOS?

Accepted Answer

Use the Keyboard.hideFormAccessoryBar(true) method or set the HideKeyboardFormAccessoryBar preference to true in config.xml. This removes the toolbar with Prev, Next, and Done buttons above the keyboard for a cleaner input interface.

Question 2

cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard vs standard cordova-plugin-keyboard?

Accepted Answer

The ionic-keyboard plugin offers enhanced features like resize modes and better integration with Ionic webview, while the standard plugin is more basic. If you're using Ionic or need advanced control, ionic-keyboard is preferable; otherwise, the standard plugin might suffice for simple cases.

Question 3

How to listen for keyboard show events in an Ionic app?

Accepted Answer

Attach an event listener to 'keyboardWillShow' or 'keyboardDidShow' on the window object. For example, window.addEventListener('keyboardDidShow', (event) => { console.log(event.keyboardHeight); }); to trigger logic when the keyboard opens.

Question 4

Why does my Cordova app not resize with keyboard on Android full screen?

Accepted Answer

Enable the resizeOnFullScreen preference set to true in config.xml. This workaround addresses an Android bug that prevents proper WebView resizing when the status bar is hidden using plugins like StatusBar.

Question 5

How to programmatically change keyboard resize mode in iOS?

Accepted Answer

Call Keyboard.setResizeMode('body') or other modes ('native', 'ionic') in your JavaScript code. This dynamically overrides the static KeyboardResizeMode preference, allowing for context-sensitive adjustments.

Question 6

Does this plugin work with Capacitor or only Cordova?

Accepted Answer

It is designed specifically for Cordova and requires the Cordova environment. For Capacitor apps, use Capacitor's native keyboard API or community plugins, as this plugin is not compatible.
