I have an edit text which is placed as the first widget in my screen. So every time the page load the cursor stands inside this edit text, which I don't require. How can I remove focus from this when the page gets loaded? I tried with edittext.clearFocus(), but it didn't work out. Can anyone please reply me a solution? Thanks in advance.

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

This can be used to suppress the keyboard until the user actually touched the edittext view.

From Close/hide the Android Soft Keyboard:

You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your edit field.

InputMethodManager imm =
    (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down menu).

You can have request focus in any other field, or this should not be the first field.
