[FIXED] How to clear the selection in an EditText?

Issue

How do you programmatically remove the selection from an EditText? I've tried:

myEditText.setSelection(selectionEnd);

but that just creates a selection of 0 length at the end of the current selection. I've also tried Selection.removeSelection(mySpannable), and it just puts an empty selection at the beginning of the text.

Solution

Calling myEditText.clearFocus();. I think that's what you need
