I had the similar issue and i am sure this is the problem, for that you just need to do a small trick.

Add this LinearLayout before the EditText which is getting focus at activity startup. You don’t need to set any value inside the EditText.

<LinearLayout
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:layout_width="0dip" 
    android:layout_height="0dip"
    android:id="@+id/dummyView"/>
