set focus on any item of listview in android

Question

I have a listview which contains textviews as its elements.

1. Now I want the first item of the list to be automatically focused when I launch the application

Answer 1

Setting selection and setting focus are two different things. If you want to just setSelection to some item then you can use below code.

    mListView.setSelection(position);

But this definitely does not mean the Listview is focused.For focussing you have to use

    mListView.requestFocus();

For changing focus on click of a button you can place the code on onClick() of the button.
