Attributes

Remarks

Force switch to a new input method component. This can only be called from an application or a service which has a token of the currently active input method.

On Android Build.VERSION_CODES#Q and later devices, the undocumented behavior that token can be null when the caller has Manifest.permission#WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS is deprecated. Instead, update android.provider.Settings.Secure#DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD and android.provider.Settings.Secure#SELECTED_INPUT_METHOD_SUBTYPE directly.

This member is deprecated. Use InputMethodService#switchInputMethod(String) instead. This method was intended for IME developers who should be accessing APIs through the service. APIs in this class are intended for app developers interacting with the IME.
