Description

We should develop an accessible EditText and share the information publically.

The problem with EditText is it is auto-focused and pulls up a keyboard on a loaded screen.

Android developers almost always uniformly solve the EditText problem by making a parent container focusable, which is non-accessible.

We created a work-around that shoves an empty view, focuses it, then removes it on load. Not ideal. We can and should make a custom view to show developers how to make an EditText accessible and a blog post about how the other solution is a bad no-no shame.
