How to get current InputMethodService

Question

How can I get the InputMethodService of the default InputMethod?

I already tried this but I don't know how to get the InputMethodService by an InputMethodInfo:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
List<InputMethodInfo> mInputMethodProperties = imm.getEnabledInputMethodList();

final int N = mInputMethodProperties.size();

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {

    InputMethodInfo imi = mInputMethodProperties.get(i);

    if (imi.getId().equals(Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD))) {

        //imi contains the information about the keyboard you are using
        break;
    }
}

Are there any other solutions I overlooked?

If by saying "get" you mean get it's id, and you want to know the id of the currently selected (chosen as default) here is the way:

    String currentKeyboard =  Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD);
