The cordova.plugins.Keyboard
object provides functions to make interacting with the keyboard easier, and fires events to indicate that the keyboard will hide/show.

keyboardHeight
is given on the event object, which is the pixel height of the keyboard.
- A number
- native.keyboardhide
NOTE: This method started causing apps to be rejected from the App Store, so has been removed until a workaround is found.
Hide the keyboard accessory bar with the next, previous and done buttons.
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(false);
- iOS
Close the keyboard if it is open.
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.close();
- iOS, Android, Blackberry 10, Windows
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);
- iOS, Windows
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();
