Set initial focus in an Android application

In my Android application it automatically focuses the first Button I have in my layout, giving it an orange outline. How can I set the initial focus preferably in XML, and can this be set to nothing?

Solution

  • You could use the requestFocus tag:

    <Button ...>
  <requestFocus />
</Button>

    I find it odd though that it auto-focuses one of your buttons, I haven't observed that behavior in any of my views.
