Disable EditText blinking cursor

Question

Does anyone know how to disable the blinking cursor in an EditText view?

Answer 1

1. Change focus to another view (ex: Any textview or Linearlayout in the XML) using

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

2. set addTextChangedListener to edittext in Activity.

3. and then on aftertextchanged of Edittext put edittext.clearFocus();

This will enable the cursor when keyboard is open and disable when keyboard is closed.
