In-Game: [Android] keyboard_virtual_status() returns "true" even if the keyboard is hidden

[shichen85]

Description

The sample event has a step event that should always make show the keyboard:

if !keyboard_virtual_status(){
	keyboard_virtual_show(kbv_type_ascii, kbv_returnkey_default, kbv_autocapitalize_none, false);
}

However, when tabbing out of the app and resume, virtual keyboard would be hidden, but keyboard_virtual_status() would return true and not call keyboard_virtual_show().

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run the sample for Android VM
2. See that the keyboard is shown
3. Tab out of the app (or use the keyboard's setting button to enter the Android Keyboard Settings UI) and then resume
4. See that the keyboard is hidden
5. Tap anywhere on the screen to trigger the Global Tap event to call keyboard_virtual_show() again, and the keyboard shows

I solved this issues for myself by coding a new function that cheks both status and height, if the status is true but keyboard height returns a number less than 50 for example, it would return false.
