Um.  Buttons in *your* app is very much doing it for them. :}

You can use this to launch the settings app where they can enable/disable
IMEs:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html#ACTION_INPUT_METHOD_SETTINGS

To be honest, there is good reason to *not* make this super easy, because if
a user can't figure out how to select an IME to enable, there is a good
chance they also aren't going to get the deep security implications and
trust they need to have in whatever IME they are using.
