I placed 4 EditText controls in my activity_main.xml. I want cycle over these controls with TV remote controller using DPAD-UP/DOWN buttons. If I press dpad-up/down next/previous edittext should be selected (focused), but not active (i should not see cursor, but I should know where I am). If I press middle "OK" button on remote then edittext should be activated and keyboard should be shown.
Just now, on first dpad_down is focused first edittext and immediately is active. This means, I am unable to do other dpad_down/up and focus other edittext. Currently active edittext does not want to release it.
Here is my layout. How to achieve correct browsing over editexts with remote controller? I am on android 11+.
