You just include some IME with your system, which has marked itself as a
default IME (if you don't mark it that way you will need to manually select
it in settings th first time you run).  Note that the LatinIME is marked
this way, so the easiest thing is to use that.

Then it will show.  The system will decide when to show it based on your
hardware:

- If there is no keyboard, you get the behavior of a phone device without a
keyboard, where it is automatically shown to the user.
- If it has a keyboard but that keyboard is not currently accessible to the
user, it will not be shown automatically but the user can explictly show it.
- If there is an accessible keyboard, it will not be shown at all.

Note that this behavior is ulimately up to the IME, so I am describing the
default behavior for an IME, which is what LatinIME uses.
