This will always be preceded by #onStartInput(EditorInfo, boolean) for the EditorInfo and InputConnection for which stylus handwriting is being requested.

If the IME supports handwriting for the current input, it should return true, ensure its inking views are attached to the #getStylusHandwritingWindow(), and handle stylus input received from #onStylusHandwritingMotionEvent(MotionEvent) on the #getStylusHandwritingWindow() via #getCurrentInputConnection().
