Get Android keyboard height when opening it, in Nativescript

I have found several links that show how to get the height of the SoftKeyboard in Android, but my issue is that I don't know how access to it in Nativescript. This link shows how to do it natively using Java but I would like to do that in Nativescript.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Following the link you provided in your question, it seems to me you want to get when the keyboard is showing not really the height. If i am correct their is a plugin for that in nativescript; https://www.npmjs.com/package/nativescript-keyboardshowing.
It helps you to know if the keyboard is showing or hiding. Hope this helps.

Can't disable caps lock on Android

We have an app that is running on both iOS and Android. However, in the Android version, the keyboard is always set to caps-lock. In order to type in lower-case, the user will need to press shift for each letter.
We tried disabling textCapCharacters and using textCapSentences, but it did not fix the problem.
Sorry if I am not very clear. I am working for a publisher and the developer is in China. Let me know if you need clarification, and I will get it.
Check if there is something like below is set to that edit text.
android:capitalize="characters"

Include Word Suggestions in Android Keyboard

Hi I want to include word suggestions in my custom keyboard.
e.g if I write wi it should suggest me whether you want to write "winner" "winks" "wilson" etc
Please guide me.
Thanks
Here is the real answer to this question.
It was hard for me to find:
First you need to:
Add Words to Android's UserDictionary
By having the words in the dictionary, they will show up in suggestions.
If you want to exclusively show your words however, then something like the auto-complete dropdown idea is a better fit (that the other answers linked)
You can search for source code for android keyboard that are having this suggestion bars, i.e. download source for android gingerbread 2.3 keyboard source code, as android is opensource you can get the code easily.
