EditText loses focus when keyboard appears; requires touching twice to edit

Question

I have been designing an application which holds an expandable list. At the end of every list, an empty EditText is ready to receive comments. I have the following

Answer 1

A solution is to post a delayed runnable that checks to see if the EditText view is still focused, and if it is not, focus it.

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(final View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if (hasFocus) {
            // Request focus in a short time because the
            // keyboard may steal it away.
            v.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    if (!v.hasFocus()) {
                        v.requestFocus();
                    }
                }
            }, 200);
        }
    }
});
