How to disable auto-focus from EditText in Android Studio

Usually, we have multiple widgets including one or more EditTexts in an Activity or fragment. Every time user opens these Activities the focus automatically goes to the topmost edit text and the virtual keyboard pops up. This hides the rest of the UI, which can be very annoying for the user. To disable auto-focus from EditText just add the two lines in your XML top level Layout :

<?xml version = \"1.0\" encoding = \"utf-8\"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android = \"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android\"
   xmlns:tools = \"http://schemas.android.com/tools\" android:layout_width=\"match_parent\"
   android:layout_height = \"match_parent\" android:paddingLeft= \"@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin\"
   android:paddingRight = \"@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin\"
   android:paddingTop = \"@dimen/activity_vertical_margin\"
   android:paddingBottom = \"@dimen/activity_vertical_margin\" 
   android:focusableInTouchMode=\"true\"
   android:focusable=\"true\"
   tools:context = \".MainActivity\">
   
   <TextView android:text = \"Login\" android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\"
      android:layout_height = \"wrap_content\"
      android:id = \"@+id/textview\"
      android:textSize = \"35dp\"
      android:layout_alignParentTop = \"true\"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal = \"true\" />
      
   <TextView
      android:layout_width = \"wrap_content\"
      android:layout_height = \"wrap_content\"
      android:text = \"Tutorials point\"
      android:id = \"@+id/textView\"
      android:layout_below = \"@+id/textview\"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal = \"true\"
      android:textColor = \"#ff7aff24\"
      android:textSize = \"35dp\" />
