Android Question At my wits end with edit text focus not releasing

I have a form.. with 14+ views. for some reason it will only allow me to tab out of each view no matter what method i use (the .RequestFocus method, as well as the hidden edittext box.) but no matter what, if i "click" on a different field, it resets to the original one. Now heres the weird part.. i set the focus when the page comes up.. and its fine until i start to type.. then it jumps to a view(field) at the bottom of the page. While i understand there is no "taborder" with android. and I have done all the workarounds to make this go.. why would a tab work but not a click. I even tried to tell it to stay focused on an edittext field that was NOT the one it kept defaulting to.

Im at my wits end with this and while im finishing the rest of the app layout, This has to be fixed. I know that views in regular android programs don't give this much trouble, so I am assumign it has to be somethign that I'm doing wrong.

Going into hour 83 of this week(yes its only wed.) with this and 3 other programs, outside of my regular patient load.

Any help will be appreciated. Due to the nature of the program any "viewing" of the code will need to be done on a one on one basis. since this is a specialized application. So what im really looking for is someone who has had this same problem and came up with a solution.

Once again.. it's not a tab order issue.. it is a whenever i type in ANY field, it jumps to a field that even under the "normal tab order" for android makes no sense at all.

Thanks In advance
