You are able to create your own custom keyboards in Android to have any number or keys displayed. Using Keyboard, Keyboard.Row, and Keyboard.Key

For more customizing of the keyboard check out this blog post.

i don't know if you still need help with this, but you don't need the imePreferences file for this you can just delete it. you want to go to the xml folder and the qwerty.xml file there you can add and changes rows and keys. just add a row with the keys you want.

<Keyboard xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:keyWidth="10%p"
android:horizontalGap="0px"
android:verticalGap="0px"
android:keyHeight="@dimen/key_height"
>

<Row>
    <Key android:codes="113" android:keyLabel="q" android:keyEdgeFlags="left"/>
    <Key android:codes="119" android:keyLabel="w"/>
    <Key android:codes="101" android:keyLabel="e"/>
    <Key android:codes="114" android:keyLabel="r"/>
    <Key android:codes="116" android:keyLabel="t"/>
    <Key android:codes="121" android:keyLabel="y"/>
    <Key android:codes="117" android:keyLabel="u"/>
    <Key android:codes="105" android:keyLabel="i"/>
    <Key android:codes="111" android:keyLabel="o"/>
    <Key android:codes="112" android:keyLabel="p" android:keyEdgeFlags="right"/>
</Row>
