I experience the same problem, even now 2 years after you asked the question. You better install the Google keyboard:

If you need to distribute the APK using your internal device management system the APK can be downloaded from here:

Unfortunately (or not if you think security wise) there is no programmatic way for your app to decide which keyboard to use. Best option is to have a configuration page in your app telling the users how and why they should change their default keyboard.

You can use this code to open a keyboard settings dialog:

publicvoidshowInputMethodPicker() {

    InputMethodManager imeManager = (InputMethodManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (imeManager != null) {
        imeManager.showInputMethodPicker();
    }
}
