http://stackoverflow.com – I have an activity with a search box (EditText) on the top, and a ListView below. Whenever the activity starts, the EditText always has focus and bring up the keyboard which partially cover the ListView. There's no other text view that can have focus. I want the EditText to have focus ONLY when the user touches it and start typing. I try to put clearFocus() in onCreateView, onViewCreated or onCreated, but no luck. (HowTos)

I have a ListView containing rows with EditText's.

When I click on an EditText and it's not already focused it receives focus, the keyboard appears and the EditText is moved above the CandidateView (desired behaviour).

However when I make a key press, the EditText maintains focus and receives the input but moves down and is obscured by the keyboard (the previous movement is reversed).

I've got an issue where an EditText is in a row in a ListView.

The User can enter multiple lines of text in the EditText.

I have a quite simple Layout with an EditText and a button. The problem is the keyboard appears immediately after the activity is started and the EditText gets the focus. I removed the </requestFocus> from XML and I also don't do that in code. How can I prevent that behavior of EditText so the keyboard only appears after the used taps the editText?

I have a custom DialogFragment with a single EditText and no buttons. After the text is entered into the edittext and I press "done", the keyboard stays visible upon returning to the host activity, even though the dialog is dismissed.

Hi I am using EditText in ListView . Now when i write any text in any EditText then it opens keyboard by which my listview shrink, now when i complete writing then on closing of keyboard listview expand. Now problem is that the text which i write in first edittext will shift in third edittext.

When i want to put adview between those messages e.g. between every 10 message.

I like to detect user's focus on the EditText using

IDEditTxt.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() { @Override public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) { Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), ((EditText) v).getId() + " has focus - " + hasFocus, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } });

I work on some application with ability to edit text files. But I have serious problem with EditText. Currently I load text file of size 17KB. I don't think, that 17KB is terrible amount of text. Scrolling is fine, but when I focus EditText and start edit, it has delay/freezing for 4-5 seconds. The same happends when I leave EditText. I'm using API level 8.

So I have an Activity that is using windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan", and I have a OnPreDrawListener for an EditText that calls:

editText.requestFocus(); inputManager.showSoftInput(editText, 0);

Which works as expected and pushes the Activity up to make room for the EditText.
