# API reference

Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar
=================

Hide the keyboard accessory bar with the next, previous and done buttons.

    cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
    cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(false);

Supported Platforms
-------------------

- iOS


Keyboard.close
=================

Close the keyboard if it is open.

    cordova.plugins.Keyboard.close();

Supported Platforms
-------------------

- iOS, Android, Blackberry 10, Windows


Keyboard.disableScroll
=================

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);

Supported Platforms
-------------------

- iOS, Windows

Keyboard.show
=================

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();

Supported Platforms

- Android, Blackberry 10, Windows

native.keyboardshow
=================

This event fires when the keyboard will be shown or when the keyboard frame resizes (when switching between keyboards for example)

    window.addEventListener('native.keyboardshow', keyboardShowHandler);

    function keyboardShowHandler(e){
        alert('Keyboard height is: ' + e.keyboardHeight);
    }
