How do I position the cursor at a default position?

Question

The image shows the screenshot of my application. As you can see that the cursor is at the text field pertaining to "Height". Whenever I launch my app the default cursor position is at "Height". I want it to be on "Mass". How do I do it ? I can't figure out. Please help.!

Take a look at your .xml file:

   <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:ems="10" >

        <requestFocus />

    </EditText>

And set the <requestFocus /> tag appropriately. Also, you can call:

EditText.requestFocus();
