Custom Listview with EditText: Focus

Question

I have a simple layout with EditText and a Listview. Implemented custom ArrayList adapter to fill in the listview and custom filter so user can search for items displayed in the listview.

When I run the application, the focus is initially set to EditText and the keyboard is displayed as expected. But here is what I want to do:

The focus should be initially set to ListView when the app is launched.
If the user wants to enter text by selecting edittext control, then the keyboard should appear.
( At this point as the user inputs text, the listview items will change - I already implmented this)
With the keyboard still open, if the user select an item in the listview, the keyboard should disappear and trigger the listview onItemClick function.

How can I accomplish this?

1.Add below attribute to your particular EditText in its layout-xml:

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

2.Then in your Activity add:

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

Hope this helps.

Thank you. With above solution the EditText is not getting focus at all. Unable to click on it and get the Keyboard.
