android where to put code that will execute when ListView is done displaying?

Question

I am building an edit in place listView. That is, the user is looking at a list of TextView items. Then the user touches one, indicating he'd like to edit it. The selected item is now shown as an EditText, in the same ListView as the other TextView items.

After this, the soft keyboard is shown, but the EditText has actually lost focus because of all the redrawing. I've got a handle on the EditText in SimpleCursorAdapter.getView(). But, calling EditText.requestFocus() is futile unless I can be sure the EditText is there on the screen.

In which method of which class will I be able to execute something like, getListView().findItemById(n).requestFocus(); ?

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

You can execute

 getInstrumentation().waitForIdleSync()

to wait for all UI events.
