how to restrict time picker to be focused when open activity?

Question

When I open activity, directly time picker is opening but I don't want this. So I have added this line in my layout android:focusable="false". Now time picker is not opening while opening activity.

My requirement is, In the activity when the user submits the details, I have done some validations and if the user did not select time from the time picker, I have to open the time picker immediately. But It was not opened because I made that edittext focusable property as false.

How can I achieve my requirement?

Any help would be appreciated. Help me.

You maybe are lookig for TextWatcher

Steps to follow

Your detail stuff

detail.addTextChangedListener(detailWatcher);

Then create a class named detailWatcher

private final TextWatcher detailWatcher= new TextWatcher() {
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

        }

        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            //Comprobations
        }

        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            //Comprobations
        }
    };

To understand better with a .gif see this answer

Then when your detail stuff is ok you can show the timePicker

This code is work for me. Set Onclicklistner to the button and check edit text is empty or not using if statement. if edit text empty, call BirthDayPick() method. I use this for date pick. In your case replace BirthDayPick() method in to your time picker method.

public class RegisterActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    int defaultBirthYear=1990, defaultBirthMonth=0, defaultBirthDay=01;
    int BirthYear, BirthMonth, BirthDay;
    EditText etDOB;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_register);

        etDOB = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etDOB);
        etDOB.setFocusable(false);

        etDOB.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                BirthDayPick();
            }
        });

        final Button btnRegister = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bRegister);
        btnRegister.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (etDOB.getText().toString().length() < 1) {
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Date of Birth cannot be empty", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    BirthDayPick();
        }
        else{ Register(); // your registration method. 
        }   
            }
        });
    }

    public void BirthDayPick(){
        DatePickerDialog dpd = new DatePickerDialog(RegisterActivity.this, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDateSet(DatePicker datePicker, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
                BirthYear = defaultBirthYear = year;
                BirthMonth = defaultBirthMonth = monthOfYear;
                BirthDay = defaultBirthDay = dayOfMonth;

                DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("00");
                final EditText etDOB = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etDOB);
                etDOB.setText(year+"-"+df.format(monthOfYear+1)+"-"+df.format(dayOfMonth));
            }
        },defaultBirthYear,defaultBirthMonth,defaultBirthDay);
        dpd.show();
    }
}
