How to remove focus from single editText

Question

In my application I have a single EditText together with some TextViews, button and a spinner. My EditText receives focus since it is the only focusable view in this activity, I believe. My EditText shows with an orange border and cursor on the field.

Now I would like to remove the focus from this field (I don't want the cursor and border to show). Is there a way to do this?

I have been able to focus on the button by doing button.seFocusableInTouchMode() and button.requestFocus(). But this highlights the button and is obviously not what I want.

Answer 1

new to android.. tried

getWindow().getDecorView().clearFocus(); 

it works for me..

just to add .. your layout should have:

 android:focusable="true"  android:focusableInTouchMode="true" 

Answer 2

Did you try to use old good View.clearFocus()
