Question

I have an Activity in Android, with two elements:

1. EditText
2. ListView

When my Activity

Answer 1

The following will stop edittext from taking focus when created, but grab it when you touch them.

So you set focusable to false in the xml, but the key is in the java, which you add the following listener:

etBonus.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        v.setFocusable(true);
        v.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
        return false;
    }
});

Because you are returning false, i.e. not consuming the event, the focusing behavior will proceed like normal.
