Set <requestFocus/> in first edit text only :

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edtText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <requestFocus /> 
</EditText>

I'll removed <requestFocus /> in EditText2 and set it back to relevant element. But I don't know how it's happen automatically :(

RequestFocus:

in Program

      edittext1.requestFocus();

in XML file

<EditText>
<requestFocus />
 </EditText>

Ref <requestFocus> Any element representing a View object can include this empty element, which gives its parent initial focus on the screen. You can have only one of these elements per file.

if you want to set focus to EditText in your way(in your sequence) then use this code

android:nextFocusDown="@+id/id_of_next_EditText"

in this way you can set who will get the nest focus on pressing enter(return) key and use <requestFocus> in EditText where you want focus when layout is dislayed
