How to restart onCreateInputView()?

Question

I have a keyboard with a onCreateInputView() method, I have to edit the keyboard dinamically and I have to restard the onCreateInputView() when particular preferences changes

I have a value on sharedpreferences and if is true, I need to inflate layout1, if is false layout2. If I am on layout1 to change into layout2 I have to stop layout1, and call onCreateInputView(): how can I stop and recall that? — totzi10, Nov 29 '13 at 17:08

From https://developer.android.com/reference/android/inputmethodservice/InputMethodService.html#onCreateInputView():

Create and return the view hierarchy used for the input area (such as a soft keyboard). This will be called once, when the input area is first displayed. You can return null to have no input area; the default implementation returns null.

To control when the input view is displayed, implement onEvaluateInputViewShown(). To change the input view after the first one is created by this function, use setInputView(View).
