Curser position in EditText - android

I have an EditText that the user can write in,
when the app starts there is already a string in the EditText.
When the user clicks the EditText it becomes focused and the curser is where the user clicked the EditText text box.
I want the the curser will be at the beginning of the EditText regardles to where it was clicked.
How can I set the curser position upon clicking the EditText text box ?

If the above doesn't work try:
editText.setSelection(1);
editText.extendSelection(0);
editText.setSelection(0);

This should achieve what you want:
editText.setSelection(0)

Android Focus issue between EditText and CheckBox

I have an EditText field and a CheckBox. The behavior I am looking for is 'one or the other should be valid'. (1) So if there's text in the EditText and if the user clicks the CheckBox, the EditText field should automatically be set to "". My code is if CheckBox.isChecked() EditText.setText(""), and this works as expected.
(2) Likewise, if the CheckBox is checked and if the user starts entering text in the EditText, the CheckBox needs to be unchecked. My code is on EditText..afterTextChanged listener, if CheckBox.isChecked() CheckBox.toggle(). This sort of seems to happen, but the EditText field doesn't let go of focus. So the next time, I try to click the CheckBox (#1), the EditText receives focus first even though I clicked the CheckBox, and then it clears the CheckBox, so I am never able to check the CheckBox, because the EditText keeps receiving focus and keeps unchecking the CheckBox.
Is there anyway I could make this happen? Please let me know. Thanks.

How to change the focus from edittext view

I have a one textview two edittext fields. am using first for the taking input text from user .
for the Second view I made the focusable set to false and I wrote a onClickListener which pops up(Date Picker) so that user can set the date.
Scenario:
I first I click on the first edit text and I start typing some text when am done I click on the second edittext and a I get a popup(Dialog) I select the date and click set on the dialog.
My Problem here is : After setting the Date, focus is still in the first field.
What I have tried.
-- While implementing the onClickListener for the second edittext , I tried to change the focus to the textView.
textview.requestFocus();
but it din't work.
Is there a way I can change it ?
if you don't want to enter date manually.. than make that Edittext to Enable false.
editText.setEnabled(false);
editText.setFocusable(false);
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
and just set the text on edittext from datepicker dialog..
