Question

Answer 1

Since I was in a widget and not in an activity I did:

`getRootView().clearFocus();

Answer 2

You only have to set the ViewGroup with the attribute:

android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

The ViewGroup is the layout that includes every child view.

Answer 3

<EditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:clickable="false"
     android:focusable="false"
     android:textSize="40dp"
     android:textAlignment="center" 
    android:textStyle="bold"  
    android:textAppearance="@style/Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" 
   android:text="AVIATORS"/>

Answer 4

If I understand your question correctly, this should help you:

TextView tv1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv1);
tv1 .setFocusable(false);

Answer 5

if Edittext parent layout is Linear then add

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

like below

    <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

           <EditText/>
          ............

when Edittext parent layout is Relative then

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

like

  <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

           <EditText/>
          ............

Answer 6

I've tryed much to clear focus of an edit text. clearfocus() and focusable and other things never worked for me. So I came up with the idea of letting a fake edittext gain focus:

<LinearLayout
    ...
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <LinearLayout
        ...
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!--here comes your stuff-->

    </LinearLayout>

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/fake"
        android:textSize="1sp"/>

</LinearLayout>

then in your java code:

View view = Activity.this.getCurrentFocus();
                    if (view != null) {
                        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
                        fake.requestFocus();
                    }

it will hide the keyboard and remove the focus of any edittext that has it. and also as you see the fake edittext is out of screen and can't be seen
