editext not getting focus constraint layout

Question

I have added xml for my layout edit text is not getting focus, only selects first one then cannot selects another edittext

I am afraid that somehow focus is not getting or is messed up but could not resolve it anyway.

maybe constraintlayout is culprit but no idea.

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

This shows that I am using scrollview inside constraintlayout which has multiple edit texts and cannot focus second or any of other elements

You can use android:imeOptions="actionNext" to get focus on next EditText item in layout. I have used EditText( or AppCompatEditText) within ConstrainLayout in Scrollview, it working fine.
