MaterialEditText Focuses on Multiple Edittexts during validation error

[ReejeshPK]

Lets say we have 3 Material Edittexts, For all I have kept empty validation. Now, if I enter some text in the first edit text and goto the next, there is no problem. But if I leave the first one empty, and go to the next one, the Edittext cursor shows on both of them and i could not edit or focus the first one, struck in the second one. This was the issue, then, on analyzing it. found that a method requestFocus() in the class MaterialEditText.java inside a function validate() was causing the problem, commented it out, and now it works fine:

   public boolean validate() {
        if (validators == null || validators.isEmpty()) {
            return true;
        }

        CharSequence text = getText();
        boolean isEmpty = text.length() == 0;

        boolean isValid = true;
        for (METValidator validator : validators) {
            //noinspection ConstantConditions
            isValid = isValid && validator.isValid(text, isEmpty);
            if (!isValid) {
                setError(validator.getErrorMessage());
//-------------------------------this line was causing the problem---------------------------------------
                //requestFocus();
                break;
            }
        }
        if (isValid) {
            setError(null);
        }

        postInvalidate();
        return isValid;
    }
