That only works if the keyboard uses the android user dictionary. Which almost none of them do, because they need additional information it doesn't support (frequency, path lengths, context bigrams, etc). – Gabe Sechan Apr 10 '15 at 23:34

Unfortunately there isn't a real way to do this- keyboards tend to manage their own user dictionaries, because no 2 keyboards store the exact same data in the same way.
