Integrate Google handwriting input keyboard directly in your android app

Question

I am developing an android app which gets user handwriting on the screen and write that as a text in editText field of android. I have used gesture recognition before but that not gets too far as I have discussed in some of my other post. But that post didn't answered me well here.

So now, I want to use google handwriting input as my writing keyboard without installing their keyboard manually. Inshort, all I need is to attach google's handwriting input keyboard to my app and use it as user installs my app on android device. Is there any solution to the problem?

Disclaimer: I am working at MyScript.

You can use an external library like MyScript iink. A example is available on Github repo.

The documentation is available online

You can use this lib as an alternative to a keyboard by displaying a writing zone where your user will be able to write on it.
