Disabling a text box makes it unclickable.

If you want to start your app but the cursor no to be sitting and blinking on it until the user clicks it then just change your setFoucs to something else. Or change up tab orders.

The best solution is to create a new textbox which is always not visible. then set focus to it upon load. They describe this method in this question Stop EditText from gaining focus at Activity startup

Voila!
