android softkeyboard sample code does not change keyboard

Question

I loaded the android Sample code for Softkeyboard onto my Nexus. It shows me the option of picking the Soft KeyBoard Service under settings->language->keyboard. I select the new service and also a language, but when i go to the web browser and focus on the url field I get the same system keyboard popping up, nothing different. Has anyone tried the sample project and got a different looking keyboard? Is there something I'm missing when running the apk?

Have you checked available input methods? Just touch and hold on any text field (<4.0) or open notification bar and choose input method while keyboard is opened.
