Overview
A Flutter package that provides the height of the on-screen keyboard persistently, enabling accurate UI adjustments. It's particularly useful for positioning elements like sticker or emoji modals relative to the keyboard. The package works across both Android and iOS platforms, ensuring consistent behavior. It listens to keyboard state changes and exposes the current height through a stream, making it easy to integrate into responsive layouts.
Use cases
- Adjusting UI layout when keyboard appears
- Positioning modals above the keyboard
- Ensuring content remains visible during input
- Creating chat interfaces with dynamic input areas
- Building forms with real-time keyboard awareness
Key features
- Real-time keyboard height monitoring
- Cross-platform support (Android & iOS)

Suitable for
- Chat app developers

Considerations
- Requires proper disposal of streams to avoid memory leaks
