thanks, solidus

1) set in xml under edittext:

android:cursorvisible="false" 

2) set onclicklistener:

iedittext.setonclicklistener(edittextclicklistener);  onclicklistener edittextclicklistener = new onclicklistener()   {      public void onclick(view v)      {          if (v.getid() == iedittext.getid())          {             iedittext.setcursorvisible(true);         }      } };
