    <p>I am trying to achieve the following: my layout has a number of EditTexts. When the user touches one of the EditTexts for the first time, the keyboard should not open but the EditText should just gain focus. This is because I am doing a calculation in the EditText when it gains focus and I want to display the result to the user. Then when the user has seen the result he can touch the EditText again which will selectAll and open the keyboard to enter a new number.</p> <p>This is the code I am using right now:</p> <pre><code>myEditText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { if(iFocus == R.id.eTmyEditText) { if(iCount == 3) { myEditText.selectAll(); InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.showSoftInput(myEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT); } if(iCount &gt; 3) return false; iCount++; } else iCount=0; myEditText.requestFocus(); return true; } }); </code></pre> <p>I am using the <code>iCount</code> variable to distinguish the first touch from the second and the ones which will follow. <code>iFocus</code> is set in the focusChangeListener and holds the last EditText which had focus.</p> <p>The code is working fine sometimes but not always. From time to time the keyboard is not opening or already on the first touch, sometimes the text is not selected, etc.</p> <p>Is it possible that the TouchEvent bounces somehow? So that the TouchListener is executed more often than I would expect it to be? I also tried to separate the down event and the up event but this does not help.</p> <p>Has anyone a good idea how what I am trying to do could be implemented in a better way? Thanks</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: this is my final solution:</p> <pre><code> myEditText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { switch (event.getAction()) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: myEditText.requestFocus(); if(iCount == 1){ myEditText.postDelayed(new Runnable() { public void run() { InputMethodManager manager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); manager.showSoftInput(myEditText, 0); myEditText.selectAll(); } }, 200); } iCount++; break; default: break; } if(iCount &gt;= 2) return false; else return true; } }); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
