I have an Activity in Android, with two elements:

EditText
ListView

When my Activity starts, the EditText immediately has the input focus (flashing cursor). I don't want any control to have input focus at startup. I tried:

EditText.setSelected(false); EditText.setFocusable(false);

No luck. How can I convince the EditText to not select itself when the Activity starts?
