Disable auto focus on edit text

Question

I have an edit text:

   <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout7" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">         <EditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:id="@+id/editText1" android:text="3">             <requestFocus></requestFocus>         </EditText>         <Button android:text="Button" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/button2"></Button>     </LinearLayout> 

and then some other stuff underneath

The problem I'm having is that right when the app starts the focus is on the input, i dont want focus to be on input right when the app starts.

I tried removing the

<requestFocus></requestFocus> 

thing and it didn't do anything.

Answer 1

Add the android:focusable="true" and android:focusableInTouchMode="true" elements in the parent layout of EditText as follow;

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/linearLayout7" android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true"> 

I think, it should help you.
