Soft keyboard not detected when toggling the emoji-popup about emoji HOT 7 CLOSED

I just had the same issue and was able to solve it.
Basically what you have to do is calling rootView.getViewTreeObserver().dispatchOnGlobalLayout() after calling emojiPopup.toggle().

Background

Internally, EmojiPopup relies on a ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener to get notified when the keyboard comes into view. For some reason this does not work for all layouts and the listener never gets called. By calling rootView.getViewTreeObserver().dispatchOnGlobalLayout() we signalize the listener that the keyboard is now out ourself.

Thx for the fix @vanniktech! Android really is a never ending nightmare of workarounds…

We found out that the 0.2 version does not have this problem.
I think this commit broke it:
0f0b727
The listener is only attached if if (!popupWindow.isShowing()) { and before that commit the listener was attached in the constructor.

I'll bisect this bug and find out if this is indeed the commit that broke it.

Thanks for the detailed bug report. Yeah i also got some other issues that version 0.3.0 broke toggling. In all applications that I'm using the library everything still worked.

Did the workaround from @rubengees fix the issue?

from emoji.

It did indeed fix the issue. We are currently looking if there are still issues on some devices. So far it looks like the workaround is doing it's job.

Alright thanks, good to know. I'll also try to investigate further. I'm trying to once and for all try to fix this issue with 0.4.0.

@audax thanks again I just merged #64 which contains your fix. You can try 0.4.0-SNAPSHOT out. I'll cut a release soon.
