Parameters

token

String

The unique identifier for the new input method to be switched to.

subtype
InputMethodSubtype

The new subtype of the new input method to be switched to.

Attributes
RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Force switch to a new input method and subtype. 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, token cannot be null even with Manifest.permission#WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. 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, InputMethodSubtype) 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.
