How to make a custom keyboard the default keyboard on a Zebra TC56

Hello,
Does anyone know what the adb intent command is  to an Zebra T56 running Android Nougat 7.1.2 to change the default keyboard from Google keyboard (Gboard) to a 3rd party keyboard.

App Name : Retriever Keyboard
3rd Party Keyboard ID Name: "com.retriever.cust.retrieverkeyboard/com.retrievercommunications.cust.retrieverkeyboard.RetrieverAndroidKeyboard"
Have managed to successfully do this via ADB shell commands by using the below command but have been advised from the SOTI to use a ADB intent command.
ime set com.retriever.cust.retrieverkeyboard/com.retrievercommunications.cust.retrieverkeyboard.RetrieverAndroidKeyboard

Regards
Tien

Hi, I'm not sure about using an intent but you can use MX to change the default keyboard, specifically the UI Manager's SetDefaultInputMethod (UI Manager - Zebra Technologies Techdocs ).  You can see an example towards the bottom of that link titled "Set Enterprise Keyboard as the Default Input Method"
