Android - How to hide soft keyboard from dialog with multiple EditTexts when clicking outside any one of them?

I was wondering, in a Dialog with multiple EditTexts, is there any way to hide the soft keyboard if the user clicks outside any one of them? This dialog has a LOT of EditTexts, and I would like an easy way for the user to hide the soft keyboard.
Since the EditTexts are in the form of a table, I prefer not to use imeOptions="actionDone" for every single EditText, since there are times when the user needs to enter data in an entire column. However, if the user only needs to enter partial data, I would like it where the user can click outside of any EditText and hide the soft keyboard.
I have looked up several solutions here, but none of them seem to work for my scenario. They only seem to work in an activity.

have you tried setting OnTouchListener for ViewGroup parent of all these EditTexts? and when MotionEvent is not consumed by any of them (method returns true/false) then run your method hideKeyboard();? (some examples HERE)
also you wrote
and I would like an easy way for the user to hide the soft keyboard.
isn't Back physical/on-screen button intended to do that? Always accessible in same place on the front of device, the easiest way... (for usual devices, maybe you have some custom...) But I admit that touching outside any EditText closing keyboard is UX-friendly

Okay, it looks like setting the root and child container views to clickable, focusable, and focusableInTouchMode to true did the trick, along with the following code:
public void hideKeyboard(View view) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
public void setupDialog(View view) {
// Set up touch listener for non-text box views to hide keyboard.
if (!(view instanceof EditText)) {
view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
hideKeyboard(view);
return false;
}
});
}
//If a layout container, iterate over children and seed recursion.
if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {
View innerView = ((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i);
setupDialog(innerView);
}
}
}
Where you pass in the id of the root view of the dialog.

No user clicks outside of a EditText to escape from it. You should better use "actionGo" or "actionDone" for your input fields.
But if you really-really need it, I recommend using onFocusChangeListener.
Use this code to hide keyboard:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(
INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
Then check you have this for your EditText:
android:clickable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

How to hide Soft Keyboard when activity starts

I have an Edittext with android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible" in Manifest. Now the keyboard will be shown when I start the activity. How to hide it? I cannot use android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden because when keyboard is visible then minimize the app and resume it the keyboard should be visible.
I tried with
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
but it did not work.

In the AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
or try
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN)‌​;
Please check this also

Use the following functions to show/hide the keyboard:
/**
* Hides the soft keyboard
*/
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
/**
* Shows the soft keyboard
*/
public void showSoftKeyboard(View view) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
view.requestFocus();
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(view, 0);
}

Just add two attributes to the parent view of editText.
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Put this in the manifest inside the Activity tag
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

Try this:
<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"
...
>
Look at this one for more details.

To hide the softkeyboard at the time of New Activity start or onCreate(),onStart() etc. you can use the code below:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Using AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name=".YourActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
/>
Using Java
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
using the above solution keyboard hide but edittext from taking focus when activiy is created, but grab it when you touch them using:
add in your EditText
<EditText
android:focusable="false" />
also add listener of your EditText
youredittext.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
v.setFocusable(true);
v.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
return false;
}});

Add the following text to your xml file.
<!--Dummy layout that gain focus -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>

If you don't want to use xml, make a Kotlin Extension to hide keyboard
// In onResume, call this
myView.hideKeyboard()
fun View.hideKeyboard() {
val inputMethodManager = context.getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(windowToken, 0)
}
Alternatives based on use case:
fun Fragment.hideKeyboard() {
view?.let { activity?.hideKeyboard(it) }
}
fun Activity.hideKeyboard() {
// Calls Context.hideKeyboard
hideKeyboard(currentFocus ?: View(this))
}
fun Context.hideKeyboard(view: View) {
view.hideKeyboard()
}
How to show soft keyboard
fun Context.showKeyboard() { // Or View.showKeyboard()
val inputMethodManager = context.getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(SHOW_FORCED, HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY)
}
Simpler method when simultaneously requesting focus on an edittext
myEdittext.focus()
fun View.focus() {
requestFocus()
showKeyboard()
}
Bonus simplification:
Remove requirement for ever using getSystemService: Splitties Library
// Simplifies above solution to just
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(windowToken, 0)

I hope this will work, I tried a lot of methods but this one worked for me in fragments. just put this line in onCreateview/init.
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

add in your activity in manifasts
this property
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

Put this code your java file and pass the argument for object on edittext,
private void setHideSoftKeyboard(EditText editText){
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

To hide the softkeyboard at the time of New Activity start or onCreate(),onStart() method etc. use the code below:
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.
LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
To hide softkeyboard at the time of Button is click in activity:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
assert imm != null;
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Use SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN instead of SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Above answers are also correct. I just want to give a brief that there's two ways to hide the keyboard when starting the activity, from manifest.xml.
eg:
<activity
..........
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
..........
/>
The above way always hide it when entering the activity.
or
<activity
..........
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged"
..........
/>
This one says don't change it (e.g. don't show it if it isn't already shown, but if it was open when entering the activity, leave it open).

You can set config on AndroidManifest.xml
Example:
<activity
android:name="Activity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:theme="#*android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"/>

Use the following code to Hide the softkeyboard first time when you start the Activity
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.
LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

This is what I did:
yourEditText.setCursorVisible(false); //This code is used when you do not want the cursor to be visible at startup
yourEditText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
v.onTouchEvent(event); // handle the event first
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0); // hide the soft keyboard
yourEditText.setCursorVisible(true); //This is to display cursor when upon onTouch of Edittext
}
return true;
}
});

Try this one also
Ed_Cat_Search = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText_Searc_Categories);
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
Ed_Cat_Search.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
Ed_Cat_Search.onTouchEvent(event); // call native handler
return true; // consume touch even
}
});

If your application is targeting Android API Level 21 or more than there is a default method available.
editTextObj.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
Make sure you have set below code in EditText XML tag.
<EditText
....
android:enabled="true"
android:focusable="true" />

Try this.
First in your searchable xml the fields (name and hint etc) put #string and not literal strings.
Then method onCreateOptionsMenu, it must have a ComponentName object with your package name and your completed class name (with package name) - In case activity which has the SearchView component is the same as the show search results use getComponentName(), as the google android developer says.
I tried a lot of solutions and after much,much work this solution works for me.

Ed_Cat_Search = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText_Searc_Categories);
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
Ed_Cat_Search.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
Ed_Cat_Search.onTouchEvent(event); // call native handler
return true; // consume touch even
}
});
this one worked for me

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
it will works

Android Hide Soft Keyboard from EditText while not losing cursor

I've come about as far as this which gets me halfway there, but not quite.
I have a dialer Fragment that has all the usual Buttons to enter a number including backspace, so I don't need the soft keyboard. I'd also like to give the user the ability to paste text (long click... works fine per default), as well as to edit what has been entered so I need the cursor.
The easiest way I found to make sure the soft keyboard doesn't pop up if the user clicks inside the EditText is to set the inputType to null - but that kills the cursor as well.
So, how do I declare my EditText and what kind of commands should I launch to have my EditText field never ever show the soft keyboard no matter what the user attempts, but still retain paste functionality and the cursor?
I've also tried android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" in my manifest, but to no avail.

This worked for me:
// Update the EditText so it won't popup Android's own keyboard, since I have my own.
EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_mine);
editText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
v.onTouchEvent(event);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
return true;
}
});

I have finally found a (for me) working solution to this.
First part (in onCreate):
// Set to TYPE_NULL on all Android API versions
mText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
// for later than GB only
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
// this fakes the TextView (which actually handles cursor drawing)
// into drawing the cursor even though you've disabled soft input
// with TYPE_NULL
mText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
}
In addition, android:textIsSelectable needs to be set to true (or set in onCreate) and the EditText must not be focused on initialization. If your EditText is the first focusable View (which it was in my case), you can work around this by putting this just above it:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >
<requestFocus />
</LinearLayout>
You can see the results of this in the Grapher application, free and available in Google Play.

Setting the flag textIsSelectable to true disables the soft keyboard.
You can set it in your xml layout like this:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
...
android:textIsSelectable="true"/>
Or programmatically, like this:
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
The cursor will still be present, you'll be able to select/copy/cut/paste but the soft keyboard will never show.

Best solution from #Lupsaa here:
Setting the flag textIsSelectable to true disables the soft keyboard.
You can set it in your xml layout like this:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
...
android:textIsSelectable="true"/>

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
The cursor will still be present, you'll be able to select/copy/cut/paste but the soft keyboard will never show.

If your min SDK is 21, you can this method from java code:
editText.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
Credits to Chen Su article.

use
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
in your manifest file instead of android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"

This is what I did.
First, in manifest inside activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustNothing"
Second, in onCreate if inside activity or onActivityCreated if inside fragment
editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
hideSoftKeyboard(v);
}
});
Do not forget to request focus to the editText
editText.requestFocus();
Then add the hideSoftKeyboard(v) method same as the other answer.
private void hideSoftKeyboard(View v){
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
The key here is to requestFocus before clicking the EditText. If without focus, first click will make the keyboard show up(my experience). However, this is applied if you have a single EditText in an activity. With this, you still can type with custom keyboard(if any), can copy and paste, and cursor is still visible.

The exact functionality that you require is provided by setting the flag textIsSelectable in EditText to true. With this, the cursor will still be present, and you'll be able to select/copy/cut/paste, but SoftKeyboard will never show. Requires API 11 and above.
You can set it in your xml layout like this:
<EditText
android:textIsSelectable="true"
...
/>
Or programmatically, like this:
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
For anyone using API 10 and below, hack is provided here :

This works perfectly (for me) in 2 steps:
<activity... android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"> in manifest file
Add these properties in your editText XML code
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true
You have to put both 1 and 2, only then it will work.
Cheers

EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
text.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
text.setTextIsSelectable(true);
} else {
text.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
text.setFocusable(true);
}

First add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" in your manifest file, under the activity. like this
<activity... android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
The on your xml add this android:textIsSelectable="true" . This will make the pointer visible.
Then on onCreate method of the activity, add this:
EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
edit_text.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
v.onTouchEvent(event);
InputMethodManager inputMethod = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (inputMethod!= null) {
inputMethod.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
return true;
}
});

i found this very useful code and it work as charm, it head the Keyboard totaly, but keeping cursor and you can copy past, move the cursor...ect
using :
hideSoftKeyboard(editText);
methode :
public void hideSoftKeyboard(EditText edit) {
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 10) {
edit.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
} else {
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
try {
Class<EditText> cls = EditText.class;
Method setSoftInputShownOnFocus;
setSoftInputShownOnFocus = cls.getMethod("setShowSoftInputOnFocus", boolean.class);
setSoftInputShownOnFocus.setAccessible(true);
setSoftInputShownOnFocus.invoke(edit, false);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_mine);
editText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
v.onTouchEvent(event);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
return true;
}
});
ha... this is the correct way of doing...this job done... this gonna work !

You can use the following line of code in the activity's onCreate method to make sure the keyboard only pops up when a user clicks or touch into an EditText Field. I tried lots of methods and codes from stackoverflow but didnt work any but this
Works Perfectly for me!! Try this.. :)`
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Keyboard not shown when i click on edittextview in android?

When i click on the edittextview then some times keyboard shown or some times keyboard are not shown.
In android 2.1 it show the keyboard when i click on the edittextview
but when i start same application it on android 2.2 then it not show the keyboard.
Help me how to show that problem.

OK, This might be a late response, but it worked.
I have met this problem on android 2.1 and 2.3.x(not tested on other versions of SDKs).
I noticed a strange thing that when my click on the EditText was unable to open the keyboard, I pressed the BACK button to show an alert dialog and then I canceled(closed) it, and clicked the EditText again, now the keyboard was brought to life again.
From that I can conclude that the keyboard will always show for the EditText if the EditText does not previously own focus(showing an alert dialog over the EditText view will make the EditText to lose focus).
so call the function below on your EditText when it is brought to front:
mEditText.clearFocus();
or
parentViewThatContainsEditTextView.clearFocus();

I had a similar problem on Galaxy S3 (displaying EditText controls on a PopupWindow - the keyboard was never showing). This solved my issue:
final PopupWindow popUp = new PopupWindow(vbl.getMainLayout());
[....]
popUp.setFocusable(true);
popUp.update();

I didn't want to EditText lose a focus using editText.clearFocus(). Came up to this solution.
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11) {
editText.clearFocus();
editText.requestFocus();
}
}

here's a possible solution:
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(final View v, final boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus && editText.isEnabled() && editText.isFocusable()) {
editText.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(editText,InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
}
}
});
code is based on the next link:
http://turbomanage.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/show-soft-keyboard-automatically-when-edittext-receives-focus/

In my case it was in a PopupWindow and I simply needed to call popupWindow.setFocusable(true)

I had this same problem when displaying an EditText in a DialogFragment. Despite the EditText getting focus (i.e., when clicked, it showed the flashing caret), the keyboard did not display.
My solution was to add a dummy EditText to the uppermost view of my DialogFragment.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextFix"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/fix"
android:importantForAutofill="no"
tools:targetApi="o"
android:inputType="text"
android:visibility="gone"/>

Possible scenarios:
1) On clicking the EditText, usually the keyboard comes up. But if you press the back key button in the emulator the keyboard (not the screen keyboard) dimisses.
2) In code you can disable the keyboard on clicking the EditText by setting a flag.
InputMethodManager inputmethodmgr= (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputmethodmgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

It works like a charm, In a case if you even want to hide on click of the edittextView.
textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
displayKeyboard();
}
});
private void displayKeyboard(){
if (textView != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(textView.getApplicationWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
}
}

In your parent view check if there is android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
remove it.

Spinner does not get focus

I'm using 4 EditText fields and 2 spinners in an activity. The order of these components are 2 EditText, then 2 spinners and then 2 EditText fields.
The problem occurs when I transfer focus (with the help of soft keyboard next button) from EditText to spinner, spinner does not get the focus and the focus is transferred to the next EditText field that was placed after the spinners.
I have used requestfocus() on spinner, but it did not work.
How do I make sure the spinner gets focus?

I managed to find a solution other then repositioning my Spinner. In the EditText before the spinner, add this listener:
editTextBefore.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView textView, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
hideKeyboard();
textView.clearFocus();
spinner.requestFocus();
spinner.performClick();
}
return true;
}
});
You also need to add these line to able spinner to get focus:
spinner.setFocusable(true); // can be done in XML preferrable
My hideKeyboard function was just a visual detail that I wanted to add so the keyboard get hidden:
private void hideKeyboard() {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
Hope I have helped in this tricky question.
The flag InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS can be found in the documentation.

Thanks, I have solved by doing the following:
I set the Spinner object on top (within the onCreate method) just to make sure that my code gets executed first
I used the following:
Spinner s1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
s1.setFocusable(true);
s1.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
s1.requestFocus();

This is a shot in the dark, but try setting the focusable property (in XML or in code; whatever way you are doing it) to true on the spinner.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:focusable
EDIT: Also, see this question: Can't manage to requestFocus a Spinner

I just had the same problem. I solved it using the nextFocusDown/Up/Left/Right properties.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/tPhone"
...
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:nextFocusDown="#+id/sCountry"/>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/sCountry"
....
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:nextFocusUp = "#+id/tPhone"
android:nextFocusDown="#+id/tStreet"/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/tStreet"
...
android:visibility="gone"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:nextFocusUp = "#+id/sCountry"/>
But why this is even neccessary... beats me.
