    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if (hasFocus) {
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    if (lastFocussedPosition == -1 || lastFocussedPosition == position) {
                        lastFocussedPosition = position;
                        edittext.requestFocus();
                    }
                }
            }, 200);

        } else {
            lastFocussedPosition = -1;
        }
    }
});

   return view;
}

Since you are using a ListView, it is bound to happen with your current code implementation.

You must remember that if your EditText is in a ListView, every key down will result in the edit text losing and getting focus because all the views are redrawn, so the edit text representing whatever row used to be focused is now a completely different object.

To get the expected behaviour, declare a variable in your adapter: int focusedRow. In getView method of your adapter, add an onFocusChanged listener to the EditText and when that edit text gains focus, set focusedRow = whatever row the focused EditText happens to be in.

Also set any edit text that is in the currentlyFocusedRow to be focused.

Update:

If you have multiple EditTexts, add an onFocusChanged listener to each edit text.
