Check Keyboard is open or not in react native?

I simply want to improve my code.
I want to check whether keyboard is open or not in Android in IOS through React Native so on that basis I can make changes accordingly.

Here is my code snippet how I am doing it right now.

const [isKeyboardVisible, setKeyboardVisible] = useState(false);

    useEffect(() => {
        const keyboardDidShowListener = Keyboard.addListener(
            'keyboardDidShow',
            () => {
                setKeyboardVisible(true);
            },
        );
        const keyboardDidHideListener = Keyboard.addListener(
            'keyboardDidHide',
            () => {
                setKeyboardVisible(false);
            },
        );

        return () => {
            keyboardDidHideListener.remove();
            keyboardDidShowListener.remove();
        };
    }, []);

This code gives true in case keyboard is open and false when keyboard is not open.

Thanks in advance

I checked stack overflow, found many solutions but,
All I need is a simple and shorter solution for this.

    You can check whether the keyboard is open or not in React Native by using the Keyboard module. The Keyboard module provides a set of functions to interact with the keyboard, including checking whether it is currently open or closed.

    Here’s an example of how you can use the Keyboard module to check whether the keyboard is open or not:

    import { Keyboard } from ‘react-native’;

    // Check if the keyboard is currently open

    const isKeyboardOpen = Keyboard.addListener(‘keyboardDidShow’, () =>
    true);

    This code imports the Keyboard module and adds an event listener to the ‘keyboardDidShow‘ event. When the keyboard is shown, the event listener is triggered, and the isKeyboardOpen variable is set to true. If the keyboard is not shown, the isKeyboardOpen variable remains false.

    You can also use the keyboardDidHide.

    You can create a custom hook if you want a shorter version of it.

    Here’s a sample keyboard.js

    export const useKeyboardVisible = () => {
    const [isKeyboardVisible, setKeyboardVisible] = useState(false);

    useEffect(() => {
        const keyboardDidShowListener = Keyboard.addListener(
            'keyboardDidShow',
            () => setKeyboardVisible(true),
        );
        const keyboardDidHideListener = Keyboard.addListener(
            'keyboardDidHide',
            () => setKeyboardVisible(false),
        );

        return () => {
            keyboardDidHideListener.remove();
            keyboardDidShowListener.remove();
        };
    }, []);

    return isKeyboardVisible;
}

    Then you can simply import it to your components

    const SampleComponent = () => {
   const isKeyboardVisible = useKeyboardVisible();

   // ...
}
