People have suggested many great solutions here  but I used this simple technique with my EditText  nothing in java and AnroidManifest xml is required   Just set your focusable and focusableInTouchMode to false directly on EditText     lt EditText         android id    id text pin          android layout width  136dp          android layout height  wrap content          android layout margin  5dp          android textAlignment  center          android inputType  numberPassword          android password  true          android textSize  24dp          android focusable  false          android focusableInTouchMode  false   gt    My intent here is to use this edit box in App lock activity where I am asking user to input the PIN and I want to show my custom PIN pad  Tested with minSdk 8 and maxSdk 23 on Android Studio 2 1

You have to create a view  above the EditText  that takes a  fake  focus   Something like        lt  -- Stop auto focussing the EditText -- gt   lt LinearLayout     android layout width  0dp      android layout height  0dp      android background   android color transparent      android focusable  true      android focusableInTouchMode  true  gt   lt  LinearLayout gt    lt EditText     android id    id searchAutoCompleteTextView feed      android layout width  200dp      android layout height  wrap content      android inputType  text    gt      In this case  I used a LinearLayout to request the focus  Hope this helps   This worked perfectly   thanks to Zaggo0
