Actually we shouldn't be disabling the OSK since as Leo and Kevin 
noted, that doesn't simulate the real experience on the phone. In fact 
I noticed that if you have the text suggestions enabled on the phone, 
and then try to create an alarm in the clock app, the alarm label is 
almost hidden when the OSK appears which hinders the user experience 
and prevents them from being able to tell if the typed out alarm name 
is correct or not! Obviously this is not tested by AP and hence the 
tests would just pass fine. But I only noticed while doing a manual 
alarm test on my phone.

So yeah, if possible we should simulate pressing the OSK keys while 
running AP tests on the phone.
