Question

Help me to avoid getting Unnecessary focus. I disabled focus, but I don’t know how it’s getting focused. I suspect it’s due to expandable listView or customadapter. thanks in advance.

    ListDoctorsActivity.java

    public class ListDoctorsActivity extends ListActivity implements
        OnItemClickListener, OnClickListener {
    private ImageButton addUpdateButton;

    private DoctorAdapter doctorAdapter;
    private SimpleSectionAdapter<Doctor> sectionAdapter;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.at_list_doctors);

        // UI References
        addUpdateButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.add_update);

        // Set listener
        addUpdateButton.setOnClickListener(this);
        getListView().setOnItemClickListener(this);
    }

    private class DoctorAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Doctor> {
        // Attributes
        private List<Doctor> doctors;
        private int expandedViewPosition = -1;

        public DoctorAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
                List<Doctor> doctors) {
            super(context, textViewResourceId, doctors);
            this.doctors = doctors;

        }

        @Override

        holder = new Holder();
        holder.doctorNameTextView = (TextView) view

Answer 1

Best Idea is just Request Focus to any one Textview in List Item row,

Something like,

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/doctor_name"
        style="@style/summary_text"
        android:layout_marginLeft="14dp"
        android:paddingTop="10dp"
        android:text="@string/name" 

<requestFocus />
/>

OR by Programatically, in Adapter class ‘s getView()

holder.doctorNameTextView.requestFocus(); // Code for understanding

Try this and let me know whether it works or not.
