Long-press any input field. There should appear something like "Input Method". Choose your app. The default keyboard should disappear and your soft keyboard example will be used instead.

I don't know if this is of any relevance now but I had the same issue recently and you can just go to Settings --> Language and Input --> it should list your keyboard there. Uncheck the existing default keyboard and check your keyboard and you should be good to go.
