Request focus on my second edit text

In my XML code I have 2 EditTexts, the first one for username, the second one for password. I am actually using SharedPreferences to always keep username but I want to request focus on my password EditText.

I tried adding this to my password EditText XML code:

<requestFocus></requestFocus>

In my OnCreate code:

    etUserName.clearFocus();
    etPassword.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    etPassword.requestFocus();

The above works, if I also do etUserName.setFocusable(false);. It "works" (focus is on the second EditText) but I can't change the value of etUserName in the UI.

Remove the below lines:

etUserName.clearFocus();
etPassword.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
etPassword.requestFocus();

Just add the below code in your activity:

etPassword.requestFocus();

Or

You can do it from XML:

Just add the below attribute for the password EditText.

android:focusable=true
