 editText_input_field.setOnTouchListener(otl);

 private OnTouchListener otl = new OnTouchListener() {
 public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent event) {
        return true; // the listener has consumed the event
}
};

this is nice, and here we have to get focus on the specified view thats why we have to get the request on that. so Its better to add ((EditText)v).requestFocus() above `return true;'

without @Noundla 's comment the editbox won't be focusable on touch

Set EditText widget's inputType to null like this,

editTExt.setInputType(TYPE_NULL);
