Android Question Spinner ignores Showfocus

[baron]

I cannot set the focus to a Spinner as I do for edit boxes. Am I missing a trick here?

Why do you need to set the focus to the spinner? Focus in android is not needed in most cases as the user just touches the relevant view.

For ease of operation by the user. There are a dozen or so items which must be completed in order before the Save/Print button is clicked. When the user presses the Return key on the keyboard, my app sets the focus to the next view. If that is an EditBox, the keyboard remains on the screen, with the prompt identifying what input is expected.

Try this code:

Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = Spinner1
r.RunMethod2("setFocusable", True, "java.lang.boolean")
r.RunMethod2("setFocusableInTouchMode", True, "java.lang.boolean")

Try this code:

Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = Spinner1
r.RunMethod2("setFocusable", True, "java.lang.boolean")
r.RunMethod2("setFocusableInTouchMode", True, "java.lang.boolean")
