Add these to the parent view (Linear Layout).

android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

This shifts the focus to the parent view.

[This does not work in landscape mode!]

Want to stop focus: You can use view.clearFocus(); Want to focus: You can use view.requestFocus();

It will helps you.

From this other post Disable auto focus on edit text

Focus the parent layout instead of the edittext

main.xml

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/linear"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="2"
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >

if you want to do the same in view.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/linsku"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >

Simple just add this line to your EditText item

`android:focusable="false"`

like this

 <EditText
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0.8"
    android:hint="Write a comment..."
    android:focusable="false"
    android:maxLines="1" />

But then the EditText view is no longer focusable, which is not really a solution – creep3007 Jun 12 '17 at 16:44
that's not an answer, cause after implemented focusable = false you can't able to type in edittext. – Ali Azaz Alam Jun 25 '19 at 06:30
