Android: Set the default soft keyboard

Question

I created a softkeyboard application. I would like to install it as my standard soft keyboard during installation. Can I add a code to the encoding of the softkeyboard application to set this keyboard by default during installation?

Answer 1

No, you cannot change keyboard settings from your application. This will be a huge security risk.

Instead, do what most third-party keyboards do, combine a small action with your keyboard where you tell the user how to change the keyboard settings, as well as a button that brings the user to the correct settings page.
