Here is the whole Eclipse project<http://www.2shared.com/file/us3MXMdS/custom-edit-text.html?>
After more than 6 hours working on this, I finally found a solution. It's simpler than what I thought. The key point is using setFocusable()and setFocusableInTouchMode() at the right moments, and manually showing and hiding the soft keyboard. I hope you download the sample and execute it, so I can have a reasonable feedback. There is also a little onKeyPreIme() invocation which causes the custom view to clear its state when the user manually hides the soft keyboard by pressing the return key.
