Answer 1

First of all you should use EditText in place of TextView for taking input. If still the cursor doesn't blink, set the android:cursorVisible="true"attribute in xml file, it should make the cursor blink. If your cursor is not visible in edit text, that's also a reason one can't see the cursor blinking. Set android:textCursorDrawable="@null". This should solve your problem

In your activity class, add this code as well.

EditText input = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext1);
input.setSelection(input.getText().length());
