Help getting started please

[slsturgi]

Hi. Please bear with me - I'm new to Android and, of course, new to Automagic (which I bought because of the flowchart-like interface). I have explored the forum and looked at the Control UI and Script Actions, but I'm kind of mystified still.

What I want to do sounds simple enough, but I'm missing something. I have two keyboards that I'm toggling between, and I'd like to do it at the touch of a button rather than by the multi-step process it requires otherwise. Essentially, I want to open "System Settings > Language and Input > Default" to reach the "Choose input method" selection dialog, and then select either of MessagEase Keyboard or SwiftKey. If MessageEase Keyboard is active, select SwiftKey, and vice-versa.

More simplistically, I could have two shortcuts, one to make SwiftKey the default keyboard and one to make MessageEase Keyboard the default keyboard.

I'm stuck, though, on how to reach "System Settings > Language and Input > Default" so that I can do "click("MessageEase Keyboard");" or "click("SwiftKey");' in the "Choose input method" selection dialog.

I'm missing something. Please help me over this hump. Thanks!

Edit: I probably should have mentioned that I've got a Verizon Samsung Galaxy III, and I'm using Nova Launcher in case that matters.

Do you have a rooted phone?

- If yes you can use the action "set default input method".

- If no you can select the action "launch shorcut"

Thanks for your response!

I should have included that I do not have a rooted phone, nor am I allowed to root it as a condition of using some of my employer's stuff.

I looked into the "launch shortcut" action you suggested, but I'm not sure what is the shortcut I would launch. It says right there in the Action reference that it can open specific settings pages, though, so I'll hunt around some more.

Thanks again.
