Remarks

A connectionless stylus handwriting session differs from a regular session in that an input connection is not used to communicate with a text editor. Instead, the recognised text is delivered when the IME finishes the connectionless session using finishConnectionlessStylusHandwriting(CharSequence).

If the IME can start the connectionless handwriting session, it should return true, ensure its inking views are attached to the getStylusHandwritingWindow(), and handle stylus input received from onStylusHandwritingMotionEvent(MotionEvent) on the getStylusHandwritingWindow().
