Stop EditText from gaining focus at Activity startup?

I have an activity has a EditText inside, and each time when the activity starts up, the EditText automatically get the focus.

I don't want the EditText gets the focus automatically, how can I do?

Answer 1

I had the similar issue and i am sure this is the problem, for that you just need to do a small trick.

Add this LinearLayout before the EditText which is getting focus at activity startup. You don't need to set any value inside the EditText.

<LinearLayout
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:layout_width="0dip" 
    android:layout_height="0dip"
    android:id="@+id/dummyView"/>

Answer 2

Add this in <activity> tag in your manifest for activity in which edittext is present.

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
