I have the following layout:

<TableLayout 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:stretchColumns="*">

    <TableRow
        android:clickable="true"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
        android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants">

        <TextView
            android:text="Login:"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/password"
            android:background="@null"
            android:duplicateParentState="true"
            android:inputType="text"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>           
    </TableRow>
</TableLayout> 

My EditText takes half of screen width, and I want it to take focus when TableRow is clicked. How do I set things up for that? It is it possible without any additional code?

    I ended up implementing a listener. I changed layout a bit:

    <TableRow
        android:onClick="focusChildEditText">
        ...
    
        <EditText
            ...
            android:tag="focusable"/>  
    
    </TableRow>
    

    and used the following listener:

    public void focusChildEditText(View view) {
        try {
            EditText editText=((EditText) ((ViewGroup) view).findViewWithTag("focusable"));
            if (editText!=null) 
                editText.requestFocus();
        } catch (ClassCastException e) {}
    }
    

    And everything works as I need.
