Android Things 0.5.1-devpreview installed on NXP Pico i.MX7D.

Cannot get the software keyboard to show.

adb -s <device> shell ime list -a

nothing shows

imx7d_pico:/ $ ime list -a | grep mId

nothing shows

ime enable com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME

Error: Unknown id: null

am start -n com.android.settings/.Settings\$SystemDashboardActivity

no ime keyboards to manage

Do I need to install a soft keyboard? How do I install a ime soft keyboard?

    This is a [bug](https://plus.google.com/u/0/+CarlWhalley/posts/X3KnPu3JVGe?cfem=1) in Developer Preview 5.1 – Onik Sep 11 '17 at 14:57
  • Thanks for the quick response.... any timing on the fix? – Martin Fisher Sep 11 '17 at 17:34
  • Looking at the command results makes me think there is no Google keyboard app in the system. And since the keyboard app comes pre-installed starting with Android Things DP 4 it looks like you're running the version prior DP 4. Any chance flashing SD card failed? [Check the OS version](https://stackoverflow.com/q/42329683/3290339). – Onik Sep 11 '17 at 19:11
