Make custom EditText with Kotlin to fix focus problem:

class MyEditText @JvmOverloads constructor(
context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = android.R.attr.editTextStyle) : AppCompatEditText(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {


 init {
    doSomething(context)
 }

 private fun doSomething(context: Context) {
   // TODO Set your custom font or whatever you need
 }

}

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

It's an old question but if someone cares, the problem is on the implementation of the constructor:

public CustomFontEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    this(context, attrs, 0);
    this.context = context;
}

The last argument ("defStyle") which you set as 0, should be the default style for an EditText. If you take a look at the same constructor on the EditText class:

public EditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    this(context, attrs, com.android.internal.R.attr.editTextStyle);
}

As you can see, the default style for an EditText should be used, so your constructor should look like this:

public CustomFontEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    this(context, attrs, android.R.attr.editTextStyle);
    this.context = context;
}

Answer 6

implements KeyListener on your custom EditText Class and override methods of KeyListener
