android spinner setfocus

Question

This question seems to be asked so many times but after trying over 20 different ideas I still have an issue.

I have an inflated dialog that consists of (from the top) 7 spinners followed by several edittext's. Spinners and edittext are on separate linearlayouts.

When the dialog is created the focus goes to the first edittext and as this is some way down the dialog, the first spinner is scrolled out of view.

What I require is a way to make the first spinner focused or the scroll to be upper most.

What have I done?

Well I have set: dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

to stop the soft keyboard from displaying (which works)

manufacturer = (Spinner) entryView.findViewById(R.id.myyarns_add_dialog_manufacturer_spinner);
manufacturer.setFocusable(true); 
manufacturer.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
manufacturer.requestFocus();

This has no effect either in onPrepareDialog or in onCreateDialog

Then I tried setting

weight = (EditText) entryView.findViewById(R.id.myyarns_add_dialog_weight); 
weight.clearFocus();

where weight is the id of the first edittext which gets the focus - still weight gets the focus

Then I tried scrolling the dialog view to the top but that doesnt do anything

ScrollView scroller = (ScrollView) entryView.findViewById(R.id.myyarns_scroll);
scroller.scrollTo(0, 0);

Anything else I can do?

Answer 1

For all your editText in xml set android:focusable="false"

For your first spinner set android:focusable="true"

or

programmatically set focus to field which you required
