Thanks for your reply - You are able to switch the
keyboard programmatically if you are the current IME token holder. My
struggle is to request this change temporarily.

Unless things have changed recently, you can't programatically change the
input method because its too great a security risk.
e.g. I could replace your keyboard with one that looked exactly the same
but captured everything you typed and sent it to my mob friends. In a day I
could have all your passwords, credit card numbers, security codes, love
letters, etc.
By forcing you to ask the user to change it, it gives the user the
opportunity to decide if they trust the alternate input method.
Of course, I'm not as up to speed on the most recent android versions, so
if things have changed, someone will point it out I'm sure.

My application has an inbuilt IME which the user has set to their
default. In certain situations within my app (I won't bore you with which),
I need to automatically switch to an alternative keyboard, but just for
that one view - as soon as the user clicks on another view (or exits the
application), it will return to my default IME.
I've tried so many options to accomplish this, but enabling another IME
in any way is making it the users default IME from then on.
I have the imeToken, so switching to another IME is not a problem, but
making this temporary is proving impossible Displaying the input method
picker is a cumbersome method.
Is this by design and am I therefore drawing a blank?
