How to get currently selected keyboard?












1















I am developing a custom keyboard, and I need to get the currently selected keyboard name.
I tried using this:



  String keyboard = Settings.Secure.getString(getActivity().getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD);


But, it doesnt work. Whenever user presses select button, I give them the options to choose the keyboards and when the user selects one, I want to get the name of the keyboard or its ID would work too.
This is what I have used to let the user choose the keyboard.
I just need to get the currently selected keyboard ID



InputMethodManager imeManager = (InputMethodManager) getContext().getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imeManager.showInputMethodPicker();


Any help regarding this issue ?
