Title Body

Seems to be a common problem without a great solution that I have found. Goal is to stop a ScrollView from auto-scrolling to an EditText (or any view for that matter) that has focus. You have a bunch of views ( Button s, TextView s, etc) in an ScrollView , one of which is an EditText . Upon clicking say a Button within the ScrollView , the ScrollView scrolls down to the EditText (its off screen). This is not desired, as there are other elements that you don't want scrolled off the screen. Now I can stop this from happening when the screen first shows by having other focusable elements in the ScrollView . However, the general problem still exists. The user scrolls down manually to the EditText , enters some numbers, then scrolls up to the top ( EditText off screen now), they click a button in the ScrollView , and guess what? The ScrollView scrolls down to that darn EditText . I'm thinking about extending the ScrollView and overriding some of the methods there like findFocusableViewInBounds , but I have a feeling I'll just be getting myself into more trouble. Please help if you can. I've played around with things like having an 0 height EditText at the top of my ScrollView , adding Next Focusable element properties to the other items in the ScrollView , etc. I suppose one "hack" might be to get the EditText to lose focus when the virtual or manual keyboard gets hidden or something.
