EditText Click not working

I am going through a problem .

XML Coding

<EditText
   android:id="@+id/edt_txt_id"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:clickable="true"
   android:focusable="false"
   android:onClick="editTextClick" >
</EditText>

Java Coding

public void editTextClick(View v) {

     if (v.getId() == R.id.edt_txt_id){

        System.out.println(" edit text click");
        EditText edtxtx =(EditText)v;
        edtxtx.requestFocus();
        edtxtx.setText("");

       }
}

I want that when i click on editText then current text must be dissapperar. But when i click with 

android:focusable="false"

Click event work fine but cursor is no longer at Edit-text. It means if want to enter some new Text then how could enter this new text even cursor is not at Edit-text , and if i work with

android:focusable="true"

then click event does not work. But is available for any new edit .What is problem ? I know it is silly mistake , but where , i can't figure out.Thanks in advance to all.

I know the question was asked long back, thought my answer would help someone. I faced the same issue that editText was not focusing on click.

I had the below code to my EditText's parent layout which was blocking the keyboard. 

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

Remove this and try it worked for me.

Just add this attrs in your Edittext:

android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

You need to implement the setonFocusChange listener for your EditText to achieve the functionality which you want.

Here is the focus listener example.

edtxtx.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
    if(hasFocus){
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "got the focus", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
           edtxtx.setText("");
    }else {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "lost the focus", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
   }
});

Instead of setting android:focusable="false" in xml ... write this in your code on onCreate() :

    if (EditText.hasFocus()) {
        EditText.clearFocus();
   }

Try this

public void editTextClick(View v) {
     if (v.getId() == R.id.edt_txt_id){
        System.out.println(" edit text click");
        EditText edtxtx =(EditText)v;
        edtxtx.setFocusable(true);
        edtxtx.setText("");

     }}

After this again setFocusable(false); So that it can take click event again.

Try this way

public void editTextClick(View v) {
        if (v.getId() == R.id.edt_txt_id) {
            System.out.println(" edit text click");
            EditText edtxtx = (EditText) v;

            edtxtx.setFocusable(true); // Add This Line And try

            edtxtx.requestFocus();
            edtxtx.setText("");

        }
    }
