EditText automatically gets the focus, the soft keyboard pops up automatically
Setting focuseable='false' also doesn't fundamentally solve the problem
Make the EditText focus still exist but not automatically get it
It can be solved by setting the parent control of EditText
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/ll_comments" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" android:background="#F0F0F0" android:orientation="horizontal"> <Button android:id="@+id/btn_submit" android:layout_width="80dp" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:background="@drawable/background_button_gray" android:gravity="center" android:text="Submit" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/et_comments" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_margin="10dp" android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/btn_submit" android:background="@drawable/search_input" android:hint="Add comment" android:paddingLeft="10dp" android:singleLine="true" /> </RelativeLayout>
