Hello,

Is it possible to send an intent via SOTI for Android Enterprise on a Zebra T56 running Android Nougat 7.1.2 to change the default keyboard from Google keyboard (Gboard) to a 3rd party keyboard.

App Name : Retriever Keyboard

3rd Party Keyboard ID Name: "com.retriever.cust.retrieverkeyboard/com.retrievercommunications.cust.retrieverkeyboard.RetrieverAndroidKeyboard"

Have managed to successfully do this via ADB commands by using :

ime set com.retriever.cust.retrieverkeyboard/com.retrievercommunications.cust.retrieverkeyboard.RetrieverAndroidKeyboard

But need assistance with doing it via an intent script via SOTI as device would be locked down with KIOSK Mode and over the air without the device been unlocked.

Regards

Tien

Hello Nguyen - We don't have a sendintent script to enable to third-party keyboard. Have you tried using the ADBs intents? Does that work? Thanks.

Hi GPMOD,

Are you able to provide the ADB intent scripts as i have tried looking for them but can only find the scripts to use ADB Shell commands.
