How can I show a composable on top of the visible Keyboard? - android-jetpack-compose

Question

Since we have differen screen sizes and resolutions, I would like to place a Composable on top of unfolded keybard:
The keyboard (see above picture) is visible and I want to show nother composable (red square) like a message for a few seconds..
Using Jetpack Compose what would be a easy way to position that red composable?

This question can be solved using WindowInsets.isImeVisible however for it to return correct values you should set
WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, false)
i set this in Activity before setContent{}
Using WindowInsets.isImeVisible to check whether keyboard is open or not.
And we need to show message while keyboard is opening up so
val offsetY = WindowInsets.ime.getBottom(density)
var previousOffset by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
val isKeyboardGoingDown by remember(offsetY) {
derivedStateOf {
val isGoingDown = previousOffset - offsetY > 0
previousOffset = offsetY
isGoingDown
}
}
is used for tracking whether keyboard is going up or down with LaunchedEffect
LaunchedEffect(key1 = isImeVisible, key2 = isKeyboardGoingDown) {
if (isImeVisible && !isKeyboardGoingDown) {
showMessage = true
delay(1000)
showMessage = false
} else {
showMessage = false
}
}
Full implementation
#OptIn(ExperimentalLayoutApi::class)
#Composable
private fun TimedMessageLayout() {
val isImeVisible = WindowInsets.isImeVisible
var showMessage by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
val density = LocalDensity.current
val offsetY = WindowInsets.ime.getBottom(density)
var previousOffset by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
val isKeyboardGoingDown by remember(offsetY) {
derivedStateOf {
val isGoingDown = previousOffset - offsetY > 0
previousOffset = offsetY
isGoingDown
}
}
LaunchedEffect(key1 = isImeVisible, key2 = isKeyboardGoingDown) {
if (isImeVisible && !isKeyboardGoingDown) {
showMessage = true
delay(1000)
showMessage = false
} else {
showMessage = false
}
}
Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), contentAlignment = Alignment.BottomStart) {
Column(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxSize()
.padding(WindowInsets.systemBars.asPaddingValues())
.border(2.dp, Color.Green)
) {
Image(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.aspectRatio(4 / 3f),
painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.landscape1),
contentDescription = null
)
var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
Text(
"Ime visible: ${WindowInsets.isImeVisible}, isKeyboardGoingDown: $isKeyboardGoingDown\n" +
"ime bottom: ${WindowInsets.ime.getBottom(density)}\n"
)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.weight(1f))
TextField(
value = text,
onValueChange = { text = it }
)
}
if (showMessage && !isKeyboardGoingDown && offsetY != 0) {
Box(modifier = Modifier
.offset {
IntOffset(0, -offsetY)
}
.fillMaxWidth()
.height(200.dp)
.border(3.dp, Color.Red))
}
}
}

Try this solution from here, I slightly modified
#Composable
fun keyboardHeightAsState(): State<Int> {
val keyboardHeight = remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
val view = LocalView.current
DisposableEffect(view) {
val onGlobalListener = ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
val rect = Rect()
view.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rect)
val screenHeight = view.rootView.height
val keypadHeight = screenHeight - rect.bottom
keyboardHeight.value = if (keypadHeight > screenHeight * 0.15) {
keypadHeight
} else {
0
}
}
}
return keyboardHeight
}
But I still have a small difference. I guess its the top bar, which I have to subtract
