Cannot enter LOCK Screen PIN when Bluez IME is Running

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For any other issue, please delete the lines above.

What version of BluezIME are you using?

1.14

What Android device do you have? What Android version?

HTC Flyer, Andoird 3.2

What gamepad are you using?

JS1

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Enable PIN/Password security on device
2. Allow device to idle past screen lock timeout period
3. Unlock device: when you try to enter a PIN/Password no soft keyboard pops up.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Please provide any additional information below.

I saw this same issue once when I installed a null keyboard. Basically, since 
the tablet is set to use the bluetooth device as its input source, there is no 
way to enter your PIN code if you leave Bluez IME enabled and the tablet times 
out. So you find yourself locked out of the tablet with no way to enter your 
PIN and get back in.

I think that is a bug in HTC Flyer.
The PIN code should not be handled by a custom keyboard (imo).

There is little I can do about it though.
I can probably ask for the foreground process and determine it is the login 
screen,
but I cannot switch the IME from code. 

A solution would probably be to implement a real soft keyboard and pop it up in 
this case, but that is more work than I am willing to do.
