Question

I've some settings page in my app. Once the activity gets starts directly it focus to edittext and i used following code to clear foucs.

<RelativeLayout 
     android:id="@+id/RequestFocusLayout"
     android:focusable="true"
     android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
     android:layout_width="0px"
     android:layout_height="0px"/>

and in java code

 RelativeLayout focuslayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.RequestFocusLayout);
 focuslayout.requestFocus();

The above code is working fine when activity starts at first time and if same activity starts again, automatically edittext get focus.

Can anyone help me to solve this issue.

Answer 1

In the layout XML file, specify an imeOption on your EditText:

android:imeOptions="actionGo"

Next, add an action listener to your EditText in the Activity's java file

mYourEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO) {
            // hide virtual keyboard
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mYourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});

Where mYourEditText is an EditText object

Answer 5

I used the solution shown up in this page but it didn't work. Add this attribute to your activity tag into AndroidManifest:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

It works perfectly.

If your EditText is a child of your RelativeLayout you can use android:descendantFocusability to request the focus:

<RelativeLayout 
     android:id="@+id/RequestFocusLayout"
     android:focusable="true"
     android:layout_width="0px"
     android:layout_height="0px" 
     android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" 
     android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />
