I think OnFocusChangeListener might be the right thing for you.

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        // view/hide ImageView
    }
});

It works fine. But i faced another problem. By pressing Back button, to hide keyboard, `EditText` don't loose focus, so ImageViw is still Hiden. Is there some listener for dismissing keyboard? – Procurares Mar 18 '13 at 21:10

edit_Text.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
    if(hasFocus){
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "got the focus", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
             // Hide your ImageView
               iv.setVisibility(View.GONE);  // (make the view gone)
    }else
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "lost the focus", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            // Show your ImageView
              iv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }
});
