Sorry I really don't understand what you are trying to do. You can use the InputMethodManager API to explicitly show or hide an IME. Whether it actually shows itself is dependent on the kinds of input available as I described before, and this decision is ultimately up to each individual IME, though I outlined what the default behavior can be.
