In my android app I need to prevent user to change focus from current editText to any other view.
How can I do it?

I wrapped my form in a <ScrollView> and I set my manifest android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" (default of react native). Now when I manually focus a field with my finger touch event, and the field is covered by keyboard, it successfully scrolls to the field I just pressed.
However, if I pragmatically focus the next field (refToTextInput.focus()), it is not scrolling to that next field (focus does happen). I need the scroll to happen.
How can I trigger the adjustResize again, so it scrolls into view the next field I focused?
Manual focus - good
Here is what happens on manual focusing the password field, screencast:
Programmatic focus - bad - fail
However if my focus is in the "username" field and then I do this.refToPassword.focus() on the onSubmitEditing of the username field. Focus moves to the password input, and the keyboard doesnt flash (this is perfect I don't want the keyboard to flash). HOWEVER, the scroll view doesn't scroll to this field. Here is screencast of programmatic focus:
This is not the exact solution that I am proposing. However, you might consider this as a workaround.
You might consider hiding the keyboard programatically and showing the keyboard again on requesting focus programatically in the next EditText field. So the complete pseudo code for requesting the focus in next field will be something like.
public void requestFocusToNextField(View view) {
view.requestFocus();
hideKeyboard();
showKeyboard();
}
Hope that helps!

I had an issue with the keyboard opening when the search field had initial focus.
Using this code stops the keyboard from showing (even when scrolling), but when you tap the search bar the keyboard then appears.
if (OS_ANDROID) window.windowSoftInputMode = Ti.UI.Android.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN;
Is there a way to detect when the keyboard is about to be presented in Android?
My problem is that I have a ListView with EditTexts in it. When the keyboard is about to be presented, these are quite often redrawn, causing an EditText that was JUST tapped to lose focus and require an extra tap.
My proposed solution is to monitor when the keyboard is about to be shown, check to see which view currently has focus, then after the keyboard is done being shown, restore focus to that view.
However, I have no idea how to detect when the keyboard is "about to be shown" in Android. How would I do this?
(I would also accept an alternative answer that addresses my actual problem: EditText losing focus when keyboard is displayed)
You could do it the other way, create an unique OnFocusChangedListener myListener and set it to all your EditTexts and put a switch inside and store which is the last view getting/losing focus
At first my EditText had the focus as soon as the app loaded the screen and I disabled that with
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
However, there is no way to lose focus after clicking the EditText. The focus is still there when I try to click outside of the text area. This also happens when I click on the EditText to change the value and press "Done" on the on screen keyboard. Does anyone know a way for me to accomplish this?
Focus only changes if you click on something else that can gain focus. Issue is: If you click on a button for instance you might not lose focus, unless you do what Mathew said. Problem with that is: A button whose focusableInTouchMode is set to "true", needs now to be clicked TWICE: Once for gaining focus and once for performing OnClick. A nagging issue, that was haunting me as well right now.
