try this code in your listview

<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
/>

There are some problems which help me. It better to use dynamical views rather than ListView when you have e Focasable view inside of Cell related links: EditText inside ListView lost focus, EditText inside ListView will not stay focused, Android :EditText loses content on scroll in ListView?

 ettext.requestFocus();
                ettext.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager)
                        getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        keyboard.showSoftInput(ettext, 0);
                    }
