I have written a custom input method (soft keyboard). I can check whether it's enabled or not based on this post. Now if it's enabled (but not the current IME) I can call imeManager.showInputMethodPicker(); which displays a list of enabled IMEs so the user can pick mine.
However, if my IME is not enabled in the system settings, I would rather take the user directly to the system settnigs screen so he can enable my IME (I remember that Swiftkey does this after installing).
How can I open this specific settings screen?

An input method editor (IME) is a user control that enables users to enter text. Android provides an extensible input method framework that allows applications to provide users alternative input methods, such as on-screen keyboards or even speech input.
Input Method Action Button is located in the bottom right corner of the soft keyboard.
An input method is a set of functions that translates key strokes into character strings in the code set specified by your locale. Input method functions include locale-specific input processing and keyboard controls (for example, Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Lock, and Alt-Graphic).
You can open the Android settings. Use below code
import android.provider.Settings;
ctx.startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_INPUT_METHOD_SETTINGS));
