Stop ScrollView from setting focus on EditText

Question

Android's ScrollView (when scrolled or fling'd) likes to set the focus of an EditText when it's one of it's children. It happens when you scroll and then release. Is there anyway to stop this behavior? I've tried nearly everything I can think of and everything I've read on StackOverflow. Nothing has worked for me. Below is an example layout If you'd like to test it out. I'm desperate to stop this dumb behavior.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>

<ScrollView 
    android:id="@+id/scrollView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

<LinearLayout 
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    >

    <EditText 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="100dp" 
        android:text="TestApp 1"
        />


    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="TestApp 1"
        />

    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="TestApp 1"
        />

    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="TestApp 1"
        />

    <EditText 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="100dp" 
        android:text="Bleh...."
        />

This works. Not sure if it's the best solution or not.

// SCROLL VIEW HACK
    // BOGUS
    ScrollView view = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scrollView);
    view.setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_BEFORE_DESCENDANTS);
    view.setFocusable(true);
    view.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            v.requestFocusFromTouch();
            return false;
        }
    });
