I want EditText to temporarily not gain foucs.
Scenario is : I have two EditTexts. Whenever any EditText's text is changed, I want another EditText to not to respond to user clicks until another predefined event occurs.
To achieve that I tried this :
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, "onResume");
registerBroadcastReceivers();
}
// Register BroadcastReceivers
private void registerBroadcastReceivers() {
Log.d(TAG, "Registering broadcast receivers.");
// Google response receiver
googleResponseReceiver = new GoogleAPIResponseReceiver();
IntentFilter googleResponseIntentFilter = new IntentFilter(
RS_GoogleApiIntentService.ACTION_RECEIVED_GOOGLE_RESPONSE);
googleResponseIntentFilter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(
googleResponseReceiver, googleResponseIntentFilter);
}
editText1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
int count) {
// Set EditText non-focusable
MyActivity.this.editText2.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
}
});
.
.
.
// Somewhere in one function I call below function to start an IntentService.
.
.
.
// Call Google API with given URL
private void CallGoogleApiWithUrl(String url, int requestId) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RS_GoogleApiIntentService.class);
intent.putExtra(RS_GoogleApiIntentService.EXTRA_URL_STRING, url);
intent.putExtra(RS_GoogleApiIntentService.EXTRA_GOOGLE_API_REQUEST_ID,
requestId);
startService(intent);
}
// Broadcast receiver for Google API response
public class GoogleAPIResponseReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
// Enabling EditText works up to this point.
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Stops working now onwards.
}
}
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// Set EditText focusable
MyActivity.this.editText2.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
}

EditText never gains focus again. Disabling focus works but enabling it again does not. I also tried using editText2.setEnabled(); method. It did not work, too.
setFocusableInTouchMode(false)aftersetFocusable(false)is redundant. Also,setFocusable(true)is not required if you are callingsetFocusableInTouchMode(true). – Longer
