Android Development How to Set Focus

You ever need to set focus for a control on your GUI.
You could design a GUI interface for your Android application but, you need to set the focus to one specific control on start-up.  In this example I am using a Button control for that.  You have two options, option one: add the focus option in the xml file that describes your GUI, or option two: add the code that does the same thing in option one but can be used in run time instead of only once on start-up.

Option One:
Add this part to your xml GUI file



<Button
android:id="@+id/open_bt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/open_comm"
android:onClick="onClick"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
>
<requestFocus/>
</Button>



Option Two:
Add this to the Activity module:

static Button Open_Button;

Open_Button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.open_bt);

Open_Button.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
Open_Button.requestFocus();
