This member is deprecated. If the calling process is an IME, use InputMethodService#switchInputMethod(String, InputMethodSubtype), which does not require any permission as long as the caller is the current IME. If the calling process is some privileged app that already has Manifest.permission#WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission, just directly update Settings.Secure#SELECTED_INPUT_METHOD_SUBTYPE.
