make EditText lose focus on clicking a button

Question

I have two EditText fields in my activity and a done button. I want both the EditText fields to loose focus (that is the cursor should not not be displayed on either of them) when the user presses the button. I am using the following code:

final Button saveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton);     saveButton.setOnClickListener(saveButtonListener);  private OnClickListener saveButtonListener = new OnClickListener() {      @Override     public void onClick(View v) {                 Text1.clearFocus();                 Text2.clearFocus();      }  } 

However, when I press the done button, the cursor comes up on Text1 even if I haven't clicked on any EditText yet. How can I make the EditText fields loose focus on the click of the button

Answer 1

try by Changing your code as:

private OnClickListener saveButtonListener = new OnClickListener() {      @Override     public void onClick(View v) {                 Text1.clearFocus();                 Text2.clearFocus();                 saveButton.requestFocus(); //or any other View     }  } 

because as doc as about public void clearFocus () :

Called when this view wants to give up focus. If focus is cleared onFocusChanged(boolean, int, android.graphics.Rect) is called.

Note: When a View clears focus the framework is trying to give focus to the first focusable View from the top. Hence, if this View is the first from the top that can take focus, then all callbacks related to clearing focus will be invoked after wich the framework will give focus to this view.

means you must set Focus to other view on button click because Text1 act as first View in your layout
