@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    View view = null;

    if (convertView == null) {
        LayoutInflater layoutinflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        view = layoutinflater.inflate(R.layout.model, null);

        final ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder();

        holder.tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv);
        holder.cb = (CheckBox) view.findViewById(R.id.cb);
        holder.et = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.et);

        holder.cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                ItemDesign element = (ItemDesign) holder.cb.getTag();
                element.setChecked(buttonView.isChecked());
            }
        });

        holder.cb.setTag(designList.get(position));
        holder.et.setTag(designList.get(position));
        holder.tv.setTag(designList.get(position));
        //holder.et.setFocusable(false);
        view.setTag(holder);
    } else {
        view = convertView;
        ((ViewHolder)view.getTag()).et.setTag(designList.get(position));
        ((ViewHolder)view.getTag()).tv.setTag(designList.get(position));
        ((ViewHolder)view.getTag()).cb.setTag(designList.get(position));
        //((ViewHolder)view.getTag()).et.setFocusable(false);
    }
    ViewHolder holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    holder.tv.setText(designList.get(position).getTxt());
    holder.cb.setChecked(designList.get(position).isChecked());
    holder.et.setText(designList.get(position).getEtTxt());
    //holder.et.setFocusable(false);
    return view;

I think your problem have nothing to do with these three line of code that you add

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

you can remove them. the problem is with this line.you set EditText width to zero.

android:layout_width="0dp"

change it and you are good to go

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

Not in this case, as he is using layout-weight, so the width of 0dp is correct in this case. – Booger Feb 12 '17 at 13:03
@Mehran Zamani your problem is post answers without checking he has given layout_weigh – Charuක Feb 12 '17 at 13:04
escape defining android:layout_width seems rational not set it to 0dp – Mehran Zamani Feb 12 '17 at 13:20
