You might need to enable the keyboard on the phones keyboard settings after installing your apk.

  • Settings > Language and Keyboard
  • Select your keyboard (maybe un-check the default Android keyboard as well)

see here for guide!

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but perhaps this will help. You want to show the 'keyboard like an app' on your desktop? Does this mean that you want an icon to click on that opens the soft keyboard? If so, perhaps the following code may be of use to you. This will simply display the soft keyboard.

InputMethodManager inputMgr = (InputMethodManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMgr.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);

More info on this approach here.
