EditText request focus not working

Question

I have an EditText and a Button. On click of the button i want to open the EditText keyboard and at the same time request focus on the

Answer 1

U need two xml attributes also to achieve this:

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

Add them to the EditText as well as the parent layouts(Any layout inside which these views are). By default these are false, so the focus is not given to the requested view.

After u show the EditText based on the checkbox selection, add the next and previous focus points dynamically in code.

Hope this helps.
