Try using both View.setFocusableInTouchMode() and View.requestFocus(). You can use the onKeyListener() interface to detect user input and start a timer after each onKey Event to start your edit after reasonable delay.

Yes there is definitely an issue with edit text not losing the focus once it gains. After quite a bit of googling I found that its possible to achieve the desired result by only workaround.
I had a similar requirement and I made a workaround to accomplish the above task and it works great for me.
The workaround is as follows:
Set the onClickListener for the editText and in the onClick event set a flag saying the editText was clicked.
Set the onKeyListener for the editText and get the current value of the editText in the onKey event.
Now, say you have clicked Done / Back Button in your activity/dialog. Here you can check the flags that got set when the editText was clicked. So if its true make any procedure calls you want.

EditText v = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.framerate);
v.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Log.d(ExploreUIActivity.TAG, "Insided onClick");
        vClicked= true;
    }
});
v.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        Log.d(ExploreUIActivity.TAG, "Inside onKeyListener");
        value = ((EditText) v).getText().toString();
        return false;
    }
});

Now for the back/done button set the onClickListener and check whether the flag was set or not

back.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public onClick(View v) {
        //check the flag
        //if set do some stuff
    });

I did some research and amongst other things I found this thread. It elaborates upon a similar issue that you're having (of the button not gaining focus). Try the following: On your buttons, set setFocusable(true) (NOT setFocusableInTouchMode! As this spawns the annoying behaviour you stated in your OP), then set the following OnClickListener on your Buttons:

    return new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO workaround because of android issue nr. 2705
            button.requestFocusFromTouch();
            // Do some stuff to handle OnClick
        }
    };

But they should probably just fix the focus stuff for buttons, the current behaviour really does cause some issues (like yours).
