Introduce a custom intent action to close software keyboard
This CL introduces a custom intent action for apps to ask AOSP Keyboard to
close its software keyboard with guarding it with a signature-protected
permission.
Any app that is signed with the same signature as AOSP Keyboard can have
the following line in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission
android:name="com.android.inputmethod.latin.HIDE_SOFT_INPUT"/>
to request AOSP Keyboard to close its software keyboard as follows.
sendBroadcast(new Intent("com.android.inputmethod.latin.HIDE_SOFT_INPUT")
.setPackage("com.android.inputmethod.latin"));
Test: Manually verified with a test app.
