Answer 4

From my POV a more elegant solution is:

1. In XML add these lines to the main layout:

   <LinearLayout
       android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
       android:focusable="true"
       android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
       ...
       .../>
   

2. And In Java in onCreate():

     LinearLayout mainLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);
     mainLayout.requestFocus();
