This CL aims to clarify more on what "IME ID" means in Android. "IME ID" is a string representation of a certain implementation of InputMethodService, which has always been computed by new ComponentName(packageName, serviceName).flattenToShortString(), then has been exposed to developers through at least the following two public APIs. * Settings.Secure.DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD * InputMethodInfo#getId() Now that our IME CTS tests are already requiring that "IME ID" equals to test IMEs' component name indirectly, it would be more beneficial if we clearly mention that "IME ID" is guaranteed to be constructed by ComponentName#flattenToShortString() hence is also guaranteed to be parsed with ComponentName#unflattenFromString(). It is to late to change strong representations that have been exposed to developers for more than 10 years anyway. Other than updating public API documents, this CL does nothing.
