Try and use the following code inside the listview:

android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"

More info: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.html#attr_android:descendantFocusability

Try Adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" in the activity holding the listview.

This is because i think that EditText's parent view is being recreated. Preference's getView(View convertView, ViewGroup parent) is being called with a blank convertView, rebuilding the entire view rather than reusing the existing one.

Better you can go for custom listview, IN normal list view is not possible ,By using custom listview you have two xml file, In one xml, you will have your listview and in another xml you have to specify you edittext.. Thats all..

I am not sure what really your question is. If it is that you are not able to edit the EditText which is inside the custom ListView, then you need to add

android:focusable="false"

for EditText in your custom Layout.

You should use this for the declaration of the layout of the list item

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_width="fillh_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
 </EditText>

So you have to check to your xml if android:editable="false" has been set and remove it.
