EditText focus issue.

If you want to clear focus on EditText view when you click or touch other places.

Insert below code in your Activity you want to apply.

 

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
   if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
      View v = getCurrentFocus();
     
      if ( v instanceof EditText) {
         Rect outRect = new Rect();
         v.getGlobalVisibleRect(outRect);
         if (!outRect.contains((int)event.getRawX(), (int)event.getRawY())) {
            v.clearFocus();
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
         }
      }
   }
  
   return super.dispatchTouchEvent( event );
}

When activity start, If you don’t want to get auto focus, insert below property in your layout xml element wrapping EditText element.

 

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