How to make EditText not focused when creating Activity

In your main_layout add this 2 lines:

android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

example:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"> *YOUR LAYOUT CODE* </RelativeLayout>

XML code:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/password"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/changePass"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="167dp"
    android:ems="10"
    android:focusable="false"
    android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"
    android:inputType="textPassword"
    android:maxLength="30" >
</EditText>

Java code:

EditText edPwd = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.password);
edtPwd.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            v.setFocusable(true);
            v.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
            return false;
        }
    });

set focusable false in xml and set it true via the code


You can set property of Layout like android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" and android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Example:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
  android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
  android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/password"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/changePass"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="167dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:maxLength="30" >
    </EditText>

</RelativeLayout>

May this one helpful ;)


the best solution is here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45139132/3172843

the correct and simple solution is to setFocusable false and setFocusableInTouchMode true . so the EditText gain focus only when user touch that EditText

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