You could use the requestFocus tag    lt Button     gt     lt requestFocus   gt   lt  Button gt    I find it odd though that it auto-focuses one of your buttons  I haven t observed that behavior in any of my views

Someone Somewhere  I tried all of the above to no avail  The fix I found is from http   www helloandroid com tutorials remove-autofocus-edittext-android   Basically  you need to create an invisible layout just above the problematic Button    lt LinearLayout android focusable  true                android focusableInTouchMode  true                 android layout width  0px                android layout height  0px   gt       lt requestFocus   gt   lt  LinearLayout gt

Set both  focusable and  focusableInTouchMode to true and call requestFocus  It does the trick

I found this worked best for me   In AndroidManifest xml  lt activity gt  element add android windowSoftInputMode  stateHidden   This always hides the keyboard when entering the activity
