the third view (EditText) is where the focus is.

Answer 1

Try With this:

EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditText); 
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT); 

To close, you can use:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
 imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0); 

Try it like this in your code:

ed = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);  
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ed.getWindowToken(), 0);  

ed.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);  
        imm.showSoftInput(ed, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);  
    }
});

Answer 2

for any textview at your activity (or create fake empty textfiew with android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="0dp" ) and add for this textview next: android:textIsSelectable="true"

Answer 3

Well, I had the same problem and I just tackled with focusable in the XML file.

<EditText
            android:cursorVisible="false"
            android:id="@+id/edit"
            android:focusable="false"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

You probably are looking for security also. This will help in that also.

Use the following code, write it under onCreate()

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
                                   getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
                                   InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);         
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
