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

I have another solution, to trace TextView source codes and match the error log you provided

TextView.java :

if (!hasOnClickListeners()) {
    View v = focusSearch(FOCUS_DOWN);

    if (v != null) {
        if (!v.requestFocus(FOCUS_DOWN)) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(
                    "focus search returned a view " +
                    "that wasn't able to take focus!");
        }
    }
}

As a result, I think you could give View.OnClickListener to avoid the error happened.

ex: textView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener);
