Well, no answer from anyone, but anyway I found a solution. I create dynamically at run-time my own keyboards and switch them also dynamically. The technique is to define them in xml, and then load them via KeyboardView with the setKeyboard command. On the main layout where I want them to be displayed I have an empty layout at the bottom where KeyboardView is added, I hide or show this layout when I click on the edit textbox. Also before hand I have already disabled the Android default keyboard with a simple command so only affects this specific textbox. The when required I swap the keyboard type by setting it also through setKeyboard. All at the end got very neat.
