Fatal crash: Focus search returned a view that wasn't able to take focus

Question

My application keeps crashing when I type something in a EditText, but this does not happen always only in some cases. I am running my app on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 WiF

Answer 1

I was having this same crash and although it doesn't sound like the exact situation, perhaps this will still be helpful:

I had two EditText boxes. The bottom one was the Next Focus Down of the top one. In some situations I would hide the bottom box, so when I hit next on the keyboard from the top box, it would try to go the bottom one, but would crash since it was hidden. I fixed this by setting the bottom box (the target of another EditText's Next Down Focus) as not focusable:

    EditText inputBox = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.Bottom_Box);
    inputBox.setFocusable(false);

I hope this helps.
