android - Regain Focus on EditText when User Clicks It -

i have activity wiht edittext, , want following behaviour 1 of edittext: on activity starting-up, edittext populated text. should not show cursor, has no focus , not show keyboard (so user can read text , scroll , down). when user clicks/touches edittext, gain focus, show cursor , show keyboard (so user can start editing).

the behaviour @ starting working ok, cannot "start editing" behaviour work when user clicks on edittext.

here code:

activity_main.xml: ...

    ...      <edittext         android:id="@+id/notepad"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:layout_weight="0.5"         android:background="@android:color/transparent"         android:textsize="@dimen/font_large"         android:textstyle="normal"         android:textcolor="@color/appprimarytext"         android:textcolorhint="@color/appaccentcolour"         android:gravity="top"         android:scrollbars="vertical"        />          ...      <view         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="@dimen/activity_margin"></view> </linearlayout> 

mainactivity.java:

@override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);      mnoteedittext = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.notepad);     final mainactivity mainactivity = this;     mnoteedittext.setfocusable(false);     mnoteedittext.setonclicklistener(new view.onclicklistener() {         @override         public void onclick(view v) {             showtoastmessage("here", false);             mnoteedittext.setfocusable(true);             mnoteedittext.requestfocus();             mnoteedittext.setcursorvisible(true);             showkeyboard(mnoteedittext);         }     }); }  public void showkeyboard(edittext edittext) {     inputmethodmanager inputmethodmanager =             (inputmethodmanager) getsystemservice(activity.input_method_service);      inputmethodmanager.showsoftinput(edittext, inputmethodmanager.show_implicit); } 

the activity's manifest entry is:

    <activity         android:name=".ui.mainactivity"         android:label="@string/app_name"         android:launchmode="singletask"         android:windowsoftinputmode="statealwayshidden|adjustpan" >         <!--main launcher.-->         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />             <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />         </intent-filter>     </activity> 

the problem is, onclick method firing (i can see toast), other lines have no effect on edittext (mnoteedittext).

thanks.

so here best solution of problem. declare manifest file this-

<activity     android:name=".ui.mainactivity"     android:label="@string/app_name"     android:launchmode="singletask"     android:windowsoftinputmode="statehidden|adjustpan" >     <!--main launcher.-->     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />     </intent-filter> </activity> 

in xml define edittext this

 <edittext     android:id="@+id/notepad"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:layout_weight="0.5"     android:background="@android:color/transparent"     android:textsize="@dimen/font_large"     android:textstyle="normal"     android:textcolor="@color/appprimarytext"     android:textcolorhint="@color/appaccentcolour"     android:gravity="top"     android:cursorvisible="false"     android:scrollbars="vertical"        /> 

in mainactivity edit protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) method this-

@override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) { super.oncreate(savedinstancestate); setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);  mnoteedittext = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.notepad); mnoteedittext.setonclicklistener(new view.onclicklistener() {     @override     public void onclick(view v) {        if (view.getid() == mnoteedittext.getid())     {         mnoteedittext.setcursorvisible(true);     }     } });   } 

that's :)
