Here is a fix in case other were not clear.
webview.requestFocus(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
webview.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
if (!v.hasFocus()) {
v.requestFocus();
}
break;
}
return false;
}
});
