Android :- Disable EditText from Auto Focus on Activity load

21:15:00 Posted by Kumanan
You may have noticed that when you have an EditText or ListView in your Activity, and when that activity is brought in front, the EditText is always in Focus, ie the Keyboard is always popped up.

By default the first EditText you add to the layout.xml will have at tag <requestFocus /> tag in it, even if you remove it , the EditText remains in focus.

To solve this issue, Add

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" 

in the activity tag of Manifest file.
