I'm having a weird problem i've never encountered.
I'm building quite a complex layout for an activity. My only issue is, i can't edit the edittexts in any way. I've tried both with the emulator and the real device. To be more specific, when i click on the edittext, the cursor appears for a very short moment, then disappears. The keyboard never shows up. In the java code i didn't do anything with the EditTexts (not even called them yet).
Any idea what could be the issue?
I've already tried many solutions from other posts, with no luck.
Attaching the xml code here:

Remove android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" from your LinearLayout it will work
"blocksDescendants"The ViewGroup will block its descendants from | receiving focus.
Try this
