Yes in Android you can do almost everything as long as the user accepts upon installation to give control of system settings to your application.

Basically you get the current settings and edit the value contained for language, as below:

    Resources res = context.getResources();
    // Change locale settings in the app.
    DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
    android.content.res.Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration();
    conf.locale = new Locale(language_code.toLowerCase());
    res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm);

Hope it helps

Someone may correct me but I'm fairly certain there is no option to do that at runtime. The keyboard itself is an application and therefore to change the input language the user has to do that themselves in the settings of whatever keyboard they are using. You can not change it from your app.
