My code has a function that opens and closes the keyboard. I want it to be so that the sketch restarts or at least the dimensions change. I’m happy to provide more info if anybody needs.
A lot more info, please

not sure to understand: the user enters something with the keyboard then he closes it and at this moment you want that the app restarts.??? - Is it what you want? - If yes that is possible using packageManager, creating some pending intent adding it to an alarm service with a delay, and finally calling finish or system.exit().
When the keyboard opens, I want it so that the sketch’s height reflects the area not covered by the keyboard.
Hi KTibow,
You can maybe find an answer here: https://forum.processing.org/one/topic/is-there-a-way-to-resize-the-display-window-during-the-program-execution.html

you cannot directly know it; yet you can a) get the height from the editext b) get the size of the rect which is NOT occupated by the keyboard= that is (roughly!) done using android method getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame® where r is this rect, to which you can apply r.height(); then, knowing display dimensions (according to the orientation) you can get the keyboard height : kbH= (displayHeight -(editheight+ rectH); i can put code for that, yet the problem is that in my code i create the input edit text by code (posted in the previous forum) and i dont know if it is your case.
I don’t really understand that. Could you make an example sketch where a rectangle is centered and the keyboard opens and closes every 3 seconds?
@KTibow===
can you put the code you have written till now? Have you tried with the code i have posted in the “old” forum in order to create an editText?

@KTibow===
where is the code for the “openKeyboard()” call? - This code tests the internet conn. and (i suppose) try to loadStrings() from a socket; is it what is supposed to be entered by the user using the keyboard?
Class ipBox's function handlePress.
@KTibow===
yes, i have seen: but where is the code for this call?
@KTibow====
ok; now i understand: this method is supposed to be working with P5 and if it works that’s good! - yet, in this case, as you dont create (by code) the keyboard, you cannot do nothing (i think); what i said (/your question) is that if you want to customize the keyboard you have to create it by yourself, without this method and using only native android code, which is not a problem - Doing so all of the params (and you can know its height and so on) can be changed: that s all!
got it. Thanks! Wondering, do you have an example?
@KTibow===
i have posted code for an editext on the previous forum.
I believe akenaton is referring to:
Using class EditText with processing? - Processing 2.x and 3.x Forum
