[android-developers] Re: Focus changes when changing the background for AutoCompleteTextView

I don't know if this is expected behvior, but this kind of stuff you
should probably handle with a StateListDrawable. That way, you don't
need to mess around with the focus handling, which I found to be quite
messy (buggy?) in Android.
