I have three screens in my application, and these have 3 editTexts each screen. My problem is that , when ever these activities are launched, defaultly cursor is going to the first edittext and keyboard is popping up .

what i want is , when the user clicks at the editbox, then only keyboard should popup.

Thanks in Advance,

First test in your xml file that you may have this line in your edit text <requestFocus /> remove it, and here is some example which can help you Example link

<EditText
   android:id="@+id/name"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   >

   <-- remove this line /// <requestFocus /> 
</EditText>

also add this in your activity

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

At your layout.xml, remove this line (at the bottom of your EditText):

 <requestFocus />

Put this code in your oncreate() method.

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
        }
