Edittext click event focus

I have three Edittext fields ed1,ed2,ed3. When user clicked the ed2 /ed3 I have opened the dialog and get the input from that dialog.For the first click cursor comes to the edittext box and for the next click only I can open the dialog to get the input. I need to show the dialog for the first click.

To keep the EditText typable you can do a little trick.

If it is only needed to open the Dialog in first time and then use the EditText normally you can do this:

public class EditTextActivity extends Activity {
    EditText et1;
    int clickCount = 0;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.main);

         et1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.main_et1);
         et1.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
         setOnClickListeners();


    private void setOnClickListeners(){
         location.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            if (clickCount == 0){
                OpenDialog(); //Call the function to open the dialog created by you
                et1.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
            }
            clickCount = 1;
        }
    });

}

That's the way the EditText behaves. They have to be focused first to trigger the onClick event.

Edit: Like Barak points out, you can disable the "focusability" and you can make it open in one click. The drawback is that you won't be able to type on the EditText (which might be fine for your use case).

Set the EditText to unFocusable. That way the first touch registers as a click.

In your XML for the EditText(s) in question add:

 android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

Why don't you use a Button instead.. but set its background as default EditText..
